Professional Photography - Documentation & reflection


Previously in BA3a i made the decision to collaborate with a photographer, this produced some professional images of my ginkgo leaves that i wouldn't have been able to produce myself. This is why i have decided to get the help of a professional to help again. firstly i set about where i was going to do the shoot, SG27 is the only photography space i am able to book out and this turned out to be booked up for the next week and a bit. This would result in me not having enough time to send off my design for my book to be produced and received back before hand in. I could of possibly booked out the room well in advance but i couldn't be sure as to when my work would be completed ready for the photography. On one hand i could have booked the studio an aimed for that time frame to make my work, however i didn't want this to force me to rush while making as i know this doesn't help me produce the best possible work i can.

So instead of using a studio i used what i had at home to create a miniature studio. Using a large roll of paper as a back drop and clearing out my living room to create the space for photographing. The photographer is currently editing the photos which i will then be able to use for me book, website, Instagram and any other platform i should need them for.

Abramovic Case Study - Research & Evaluation

Performance artist Marina Abramovic adopts a territory where both audience and artist coincide throughout the entirety of her performance. Abramovic’s early career commenced during the 1970’s an era where performance art was ridiculed, only fuelling her aspirations to prove critics wrong. Abramovic’s rhythm series, which constitutes of five individual performances from 1973 to 1974, scrutinizes the tensions between abandonment and control. At the forefront of Abramovic’s rhythm series is Rhythm 10 (Abramovic, M. 1973). Rhythm 10 consisted of Abramovic recording herself stabbing between the fingers of her left hand with 10 knives, as fast as she could; changing knives every time she cut herself. When all knives were used Abramovic would rewind the tape and playing it back, she then began re-performing the actions to the rhythm of the tape. Abramovic wilfully or not, subjected her performance to a rhythm over which she had limited control. Abramovic claims each cut manifesting itse...

Professional Photography (Outcomes) - Documentation & Evaluation

The bellow images are the outcome from the professional shoot i did with a photographer. These images have now allowed me to have material for my Instagram, website, promotional material such as business cards or postcards and images for my documentation book. We also photographed my ginkgo leaves that i produced last unit this was a request from the student who i was collaborating with that designed my documentation book - they required ginkgo leaves with  a plain white background. I'm most pleased with the images of my submission for the bishops art prize the contrasting monochrome works so well together which wasn't something i had trailed until the day of the shoot.
