PROJECT 3 - LIGHT

LIGHT PROPOSAL

My proposal is to show the effect of light on transparent objects. I want to be able to show how light can transform the shadows of transparent objects, and what is created by the interaction of these objects and light.

I'm going to do this by taking photos of transparent objects (that hold liquid such as perfume bottles) in sun lit settings

My Final Images




The interaction of light and the transparent object created a bird form in the reflection/shadow.


I really like the colour in this image and how the reflection has been abstracted



In this image I held a sheet of textured paper behind the perfume bottle creating a different texture  in the shadow. I think that the different texture helped emphasise the reflection


I like this image and how the reflection looks like a flame.  For this effect I put indian ink into a glass of water and captured the ink floating in the water through the reflection

FOURTH SHOOT



FAVOURITES




In this shoot I really wanted to focus on the reflections that the light created, 
I think that these three images show this focus the best. I think that the reflections created have amazing colour.

SECOND SHOOT






FAVOURITES 


I like this image because of how the different surface compliments 
the reflection of the bottle.


I like this image because of how the sunlight has abstracted the
 reflection and made it look  like its from out of space. 




Experimenting with light




These are just a few images of when I was at the water front, 
I was just playing around with long exposure to abstract the 
lights of the water front and the city, just a bit of fun.

FIRST SHOOT


FAVOURITES



RESEARCH


Imogen Cunningham





Imogens images show how light can be used to turn objects abstract.
I like this image because the light in this image makes the lilies look completely different, they also look like their floating.











               

   I like this image because the lighting has  
              made the  rose look like its plastic. the lighting
         also makes the hard wood surface abstract itself
          and looks like flowing water.



                                                        
                                                                                                       
                                                        



  
    The lighting in this image makes the lilies look like
    their flames. lilies are the flower of death so I also 
     think that Imogen could have been trying to abstract 
         this image to make the lilies sort of look like a spirit in some sense.   











Maholy Nagi


 I like this image of Maholy Nagi because of how he has used light to create an abstract shadow from the object, this is something I want to achieve through this project as well. 







This image is interesting because the simple lighting highlights the areas of importance and it also contrasts against the dark plain background. I also think that the lighting helps direct then viewers eyes down the image.




 I like this image because the lighting makes the object look like its moving, but the reflection grounds the object. I also like how the lighting almost gives this still object living characteristics.




This image is interesting because of how the lighting emphasises the movement of the object. The lighting also makes the centre of the object look still in contrast with the outside part that looks like its moving creating an abstract form
