Assignment 5: Applying the techniques of illustration and narrative

It took me a while to think of a theme for this assignment. Then I thought I would try photographing the different stages of cooking sunday lunch to see how it turn out.

Assignment 4: applying lighting techniques

In this assignment, I’ve tried demonstrate the shape, form, texture and colour of the subjects that I was photographing. I did this through lighting the subject from different angles I have cropped most of the photos, because some of the sides needed tidying up.

Project 39: using faster film and higher sensitivity

For this project I took a number of similar photographs using a higher sensitivity. Some of the photographs where taken at ISO 200 and the other at ISO 400. When I viewed the photographs at 100%, there was a little noise showing at ISO 400.
