Week 4: Visual Histories

This week we moved on to digital techniques and used the studio lights, we were asked to bring in things that were meaningful to us to photograph. We then set out our objects individually to photograph in small groups. I wasn't pleased with the objects that I photographed so I choose to re shoot mine again at home as an attempt to produce a better final image. Unfortunately they are not as good quality, but the objects have more meaning.


My objects included:
  •  a concert wristband- to represent my love of music, and live music.
  • a note book- which I have on my person nearly all the time.
  • two DVD's- these are two of my favourite films, one by the director Tim Burton who has inspired me a lot.
  • my day to day diary- this has all my important dates and deadlines and I would be lost without it. 
  • a photograph of my parents- to represent my family and how important they are.
  • a bracelet that I wear everyday- I have worn this bracelet for about 8 years and never want to be without it.
I think all these things describe me well and show what is important to me. Although I enjoyed using the studio and the lights I was not happy with the objects that I originally took in to be photographed as I didn't think they represented me very well. Therefore I went home and reshot everything and different things that were more personal. Although they lacked in quality I think it worked better than my other objects would have.
