The likes of Saul Leiter and Ben Heine really influenced my initial work and helped me develop my photography skills in showing me new ways to do things. For example Ben developed my artistic skills and showed me how they could work well with my photography which is something I carried forward into my Exam. Leiter showed me how you use everyday objects to help frame my images adding a new dimension to my work.
I learnt new editing techniques learning how use a new app called Affinity and how the different brush strokes and textures that were available to me helped establish a link to my artists. I also learnt how important my experimentation was to my developing my work without initially experimenting with taking photos through CD holes I wouldn't have had tyne final Idea for my exam. I moved forward slowly each time trying something new. The next thing I tried were CD cases as the frame for my photo and this was inspired by Sleeveface. This then has influenced my final outcome as I have produced physical album art.
Not all my prep shoot worked though, for example the shoot inspired by Hockney. My final outcomes became guilty of over editing. This was not ignored however, as I learnt from this mistake ensuring that I kept my editing of photos to a minimum, the purity of a photo really gives it a different perspective. As well as this a lot of my edits were time consuming which was not efficient so I tired to learn as many shortcuts as I could in order to finish my work. For example when changing the hair colour of my models I found that the first technique I learnt was too long, so I found a shorter tutorial which used less steps but was just as good.
I believe I have been successful in sticking to the exam brief as my final outcome reflects a personal response to the title. My models were very influential choosing the album and an objet of their choice. This means that the framing I used was the personality of the model the frame represents who they are and what they are made up of. The Mondrian inspired framing board shows who I am and my passion for art. SO the overall design is a very personal response which iI think fits within the brief well.
