Stephanie Jung Photoshoot

This is my photograph inspired by Stephanie Jung. I achieved this by taking multiple shots of the same subjects but moving slightly each time. I also edited the images together on Photoshop and changed the opacity to create the desired effect.

Eddie Adams Research

Photographer: Eddie Adams
Vietnam 1968
 

I chose to analyse this image by Eddie Adams because I think it shows action well. This photograph captures a moment perfectly and the emotion stands out immensely. The photograph shows a General with his arm outstretched about to shoot a prisoner. Most people think it is someone from the South Vietnamese national police simply shooting a helpless man unfairly however that is not the case. The man did infact commit many crimes including murder which is why he has a gun to his head. I think this image is very powerful and people would find this very interesting to research or even just look at.
The shutter speed would have had to be quite quick as the photograph is not staged and therefore, the subjects would not be stationary. Adams simply photographed real people and real actions that cannot be faked which is why I liked this image. It shows how spontaneous photographers have to be when photographing real life scenes. Also, as the image is black and white, it shows that it is most likely quite old. The contrast between the black and white is dramatic and makes the subjects face stand out against the background. If this image was never taken, we would not know how some people were treated at the time in Vietnam.

Rule of Thirds Image

This is my example of an image showing composition by using the rule of thirds.

Composition

Here is an image i have found that i think has good composition. This image uses the horizontal lines in the rule of thirds because of the sea line and also the shore. They both lie on the lines that make up the rule of thirds which makes it seem very structured and precise even though it a natural and random thing. I think the photographer composed this image like this so the point of interest (The bridge) would be in the centre third and therefore in the middle of the image so it is the first thing you see. The colours are bright and work well with the composition as if it was zoomed in more, it would be too concentrated and condensed whereas now, it is as if the colour is distributed evenly across the photograph. The rope on the bridge also follow the rule of third by going down the vertical lines. This frames the bridge nicely and makes everything in the image flow.

Hello

I am Tianna, studying photography at Kenton School. This blog will be a collection of photographs from both school projects and my owns projects. I like still life and landscape photography the best but i also enjoy portrait photography.
