Portfolio Week 4 : Balance

Formal Balance

This the image did early, I just want creat a image have the formal balance, and I join the two image tegther. there have the same element at both side from the medium lidding line.

Informal Balance

In the visual image generally according to the size, the weight of the colour depth to ebb and flow, and the people's life experience, thought the subconscious to stereotypes, moving things than staatic, people than animals, and so on factours, gives the visual image of the weight, roughly of course everyon's experience different there is no absolute right weight.

If the screen to draw aline, we can find: the one on the left, a deer, two small leopard; The right to have two fox, a bear two wild pig and a lion. View should be the right weight by volume, but the left one person (people than animals), the right of the bear and ofx use intaglio, On the vison or balanced. If these things on the scale can be the balance of the above conclusion.

Portfolio Week 3 : Balance

When we are looking at this image, the first feeling come out will be the balance. Balance is a compositional technique in photography that juxtaposes images within a farm so that the objects are of equal visual weight. When different parts of a photo command your attention equally, perfect balance is achieved. In photography, there are two main techniques of balance you should be aware of: formal and informal.

Formal Balance

There are basically two types of balance in photography. The first is formal balance, also called symmetrical balance. As the name suggest it is when one or more identical or similar subjects are repeated symmetrical on each sides of a given point. The formal balance is most often recognized by subjects that are uniform in shape

Informal Balance

The second type, informal balance or so called asymmetrical balance is when one or more dissimilar elements are balancing on each side of a given point. Informal balance is less obvious because the subjects are not uniform. A well made image using informal balance is more appealing to the viewer compared to a symmetrical composed image.

1. What research have you done this week?

http://chickgeek.org/eirik-solheim/

Because I did a lot search on the internet everyday, just want see what about other photographer's work. This is interesting work I find out from this web side.

Photo(s) by Eirik Solheim in Oslo, Norway

had an SLR camera in my window at the same spot for one year. Snapping an image every half hour. I used the script from Aslak and made the following image.

She was shooting one photo everyday in a years time, and cut one slice a pat to join them together. That was amazing image to get four session in one photo.

2. How is this research relevant to your project?

Yes, I get an ideas at earlier of this semester, try to make a photo with different light going on, and shooting about 12 - 24 photo to join them together, but was too easy to thinking about it. This work give me the example of the work I am going to do.

3. Image research: what techniques/ideas will you take from these images?

She was using the photoshops to cutting ever photo to join them,and using the same set of the camera at ever day.

4. What photos have you taken this week?

I have not shoot every photo this week, Because i have not find a nice place to start my project.

5. What’s working?

Need some setting if I'm  going to shoot ever photo and focus point.

6. What’s not working?

I do not think I can make it in ones. 

7. Where to next?

I am going doing some more research of how to join the image in photoshops, it is not that just join them together, that focus point, the layout and any more new techniques I can use.

8. What is your genre?

Creative genres and Editorial genres

9. What techniques and style will you incorporate for these photographs?

I am going to use my 24 mm lens to  shoot about  6 - 8 images at 360 angle at ones, and choice the light from dark to bright to make about 12 - 24 times. After that I will join the 6 - 8 images with 360 angle images to one image in photoshops. Now I  have 12 - 24 images, and cutting one slice from other images and join them again in photoshops. In the end I will turn the image to a circle image.

10.  How will you approach research for this project?

I will look it some Chinese photo web side to get some ideas to fix my plan and try to make it right.

11. What is your plan for your first three weeks?

Week 1 : Set up for my project plan and start research the shooting skill.

Week 2 : Research more photo to make my plane perfect.

I like this image, the problem of the image is from the Wallace Arts Centre, too much reflect light form outside window. We can't see the image clearly. But i still like this image, because the feeling like a big cow going to running to me.

Would you use this type of presentation for your photography and why?

I am going use this tap of the shooting skill at future, because I am try to make the subject out of the color when I am shooting anything, but after this image I am going doing something same style to make something melting in one color or world.

Is there anything you would have done differently?

Not yet, I may try the same skill first than i can find the different.

DT 2 - Week 1 Photographic genres

Photographic genres can be divided into four basic categories:

• Creative genres
• Editorial genres
• Retail genres
• Personal genres

After I read this page www.shutha.org/photo-genres, and discuss with Seps about the question below.

1. Which genres require more photo retouching? Why do you think this is?

     Creative genres

     Because the image from creative genres have more wholesale creation or alteration and recreation.

2.Can you think of any photographers we looked at last term who fit into an editorial genre? Which editorial genre do they fit into? What approach do they take to their style of photography? (B&W/color/formal/raw/etc)
    Lewis Hines is photographer fit into life - Documentary, who photograph were instrumental in changing the child labor laws in the United States at 1900, he shot with large format and B&W image to catch the moment with the lidding lines, rule of third and narrow depth of field.

3. Can you think of any photographers we looked at last term who fit into a creative genre? Which creative genre do they fit into? What approach do they take to their style of photography? (B&W/color/formal/raw/etc)
        Tsunehisa Kimura is photographer fit into fine art — still life, who created works using photomontage. His montages often contain themes of surreal urban destruction and chaos, or juxtaposition of man-made monuments and natural phenomena. He was making large format and color image to add all the subject together about his fantasy.

4. Can you think of a photographer who fits into the Creative Fine Art genre? Could this photographer fit into any of the Editorial genres as well?
      David LaChapelle
      Also he can fit into life — social documentary.

5. Where will your photography this term fit on these graphs?
     I will fit into creative product — commercial, because that what I am doing now, and I really like do some nature image.
