First week back at college after christmas

This week we didn’t start back till the Tuesday meaning we haven’t done as much as we usually would do on a normal week. On Tuesday we were told about the new assignment which was called “The colour of” its an assignment which has been set by Fujifilm. The assignment is based on using colour film. Im looking forward to doing this more than the black and white one as I feel there is more freedom to it which helps me out a lot. I started my presentation where I had to do my introduction, three mindmaps of ideas or equipment we can use. I then started doin my research on four different photographers. I chose sports and landscape photographers as that’s my favourite areas. I chose to research my favourite photographer Atiba Jefferson who photographs skateboarding, basketball and other sports. His shots are usually really detailed and he uses flashguns in almost all his images. I also researched Adam burton who is a landscape photographer. His images were really strong, he uses slow shutters to slow the water down and uses the light to get different colours from it which looks amazing. I researched to other photographers which were all really good. They all had really detailed and sharp images. On Wednesday we looked at how we can annotate our or others pictures much better. I now need to explain a picture using connotations, denotations, composition, tonal range and many other techniques. I have also learnt that I need to be more confident within my work.
