year 11 mock close-upI have chosen this project as i find it interesting and you can take any image and go close up to a certain part and it will be interesting. The image that catches my attention is the eyes because eyes have many different colours and patterns and look really good as images. I also like the bright colour red of the flower as it stands out also even though its a close up picture you can still tell its a rose.

Graham Owen likes to be known as an artist and natural photographer. The detail of his work has won him national awards for his ''artificial insects''. His most recent work was birds because he likes the graceous and beauty of the creatures. His work is of all creatures, and its hard to find a piece thats different in other artist photography but because no animals look exactly the same all his work is unique. My chosen piece was close up and all of his images that he has taken are close up because it shows the different pattern and lighting in the animals. I don't mind Graham Owens work, but because his interested in close up creatures thats all his pictures are of so if i had to base my images on a artist work it wouldn't be him just because i would prefer a range of images, even though his are all different its the same in a way because you know what to expect when you think of him. But i like how his images are clear and bright to show them in the best way.

Keith Taylor

Keith Taylor takes his close up pictures of flowers and plants, His always been interested in cameras and taking images since he was a kid so as his grew older his became more experienced in photography. His normal images are not of plants they are mostly of landscapes. I prefer his images then Graham Owens, because i think these are colourful and pretty and the insects that Graham Owen does are unique but weird because some insects can look quiet freaky. So if i had to choose what artist id rather base my pictures on would be Keith Taylor.
Ansel Adams was a black and white close up photographer and environmentalist. His images are also of plants and flowers just like Keith Taylor apart from he don't do his in colour so his image are different to the two artist that i have researched. i like his images especially the picture of the frozen cherries on the tree covered in ice because Keith Taylor or Graham Owen didn't do anything like this and i think this picture is the prettiest out of them all, Ansel Adams would be the artist i choose over all i like the black and white theme and different seasons images.

My close-up images: 1
My images are slightly blurry as the camera did not focus, I based my images on most of these close up photographers because they all chose to base theres on natural surroundings. I think my images could of been better but i could not find any images that would be good for close up. The best one that i captured trying to do this experiment is probably the 2nd one, because its all blurry but you can see the focus on the background more than what the image was supposed to be focused on. My least favourite is the last one because i find it very dull and boring. I don't think any of these images are very good, because i think my 2nd experiment on close-ups went better.
These are some more of my images, i took more images this time that are more clear and focused i tried to find different and quirky images. My favourite image out of these is the first one because its really weird but interesting and its really clear. My least favourite is the last one as its not as interesting as the other images and does not stand out as much. I think my images are based on Keith Taylor because his photography on close up images are of the natural world such as trees and plants, Also he uses colourful flowers. I think my images this time is better than my last experiment with close-up as i could find more images of natural world also they are much more colourful.
This is my 3rd experiment, The image i think stands out to me is web with the rain droplets on because its different from the other images i have took so far in my experiments, I also like the first one because it looks like snow on a plant so it reminds me of Keith Taylor's image of the cherries covered in ice because its like a winter picture. My least favourite photo is the last one because it looks messy and not a nice image but i do like the colours because its really bright. I think i could improve my images by trying to find better objects to take pictures of and try and focus the camera better. Also my intention for the whole of the experiments was to get pictures of natural surroundings such as flowers, plants. I thought it was quiet hard to find flowers that stand out and try to make them look good so i had to look at plants that didn't look normal and boring and tried to find different ones just like the photographers. My final experiments came out better than the first experiments because they had more focus and i found more plants to take pictures of, I think my pictures could been better if there was more colour in the images. In all of my images i used a camera to take these pictures.

In my research of experiments i have research close-up images that photographers have taken. The photographers are Ansel Adams, Keith Taylor, Graham Owen. I researched these artists because there close-up images was more interesting then others, Also the pictures they have are similar of what i am taking pictures of especially Keith Taylor thats who my work is related to.
Photography Idea's

I want to take images of different thing like these because i like taking pictures of nature but i like the idea of different objects. I think taking pictures of eyes and everyday objects would be quite good because its different to the other image i have taken. |
My close-up images: 4
|
These are my new close-up images, i decided to do close-up of objects that is not nature. I liked experimenting with these because it was fun to find other things. The image that i think was the most successful was the 2nd one because i like how its a different type of close-up. My least successful was the first one because i think its plain and quite boring compared to my other experiments. I think these could of gone better if i could of found better pieces to take images of. I think the images could of looked better if i tried to make them look more focused and i could of zoomed into them more so it was hard to tell what it is. My Final ImageThis is my final mock piece for close-up, I took some images of close-up nature and i chose these three to be the ones to represent my overall final outcome on close-up. I think the images work well together because they have something in common and they are not all bright so they are all quiet dull, I think that i could of edited them and made them more brighter to stand out because i think the flower looks a bit off colour but they work well. I think the final piece works well where there is an image of a flower at the top and bottom and in the middle rain water with leaves.
