So there has been 1 reocurring image people have been telling me they think is the best visually. This is my final piece:
This image would be printed across a whole wall in a gallery space, so people become immersed in the detail of the fibres and the colours surrounding them.
I’m having the usual problem photographers have, you see your images so many times the original impact and individual image gives you has disappeared.
I am trying to choose a final from these images here
I’ve been asking people their opinions to see if one reoccurring image comes up as the best. If not I will just have to choose.
Genea Bailey (Photographer) like this Futurism (the brighter one)
I asked all the photography students at Coventry University, This is what some of them said.
Craigs choice:
or
Helens Choice:
So Far the only reoccurring one is the Futurism one, that Helen and Genea chose.
This is my final shoot, I hope :S. For this shoot i used a macro lens to try and make the fibres stand out. Here are some edits. I am going to name them again according to what i see. This way people might see the image and get confused because it has no context, then I give them a title which actually has nothing to do with the theme it’s just what i see in the shapes. This changes the whole reading of the image. Forcing the viewer to see through my eyes.

Now I have to choose one I want as my final piece, decide how bog i would print it and if i’m keeping the titles.
So my next development idea was to concentrate on really close up compositions, trying to create beautiful prism shapes whilst creating detail in the fabric.
If i were to print any of these images they would be on huge scale. so each fibre would be massive.
The thing I have noticed about these close up images, is that the weaving of the fabric almost creates pixels. and because the image has no context I start to create images by myself. Like when you make shapes out of clouds, for this reason i’m going to try and name each image. Based on what i see.
This idea can deffinately be improved by using a zoom lens or a macro. That will be my next step.
I don’t think this technique is going to work but I wanted to try it out anyway. I’ve scanned in the fabric, edited the images to make the fibre’s stand out and then added prism light on top of them.
This image was made via using hard light on the layer options.
I then used hardlight and made the background (scan of Jades scarf) black and white and changed the colour levels to mak it more textured.
I did this again but the scarf was messy instead of neat, and used a different prism light image.
Hard Light
Hard Light & B&W background.
Then I tried with Martinas Scarf.
All these images are okay, they look a bit over processed though, I want to try and achieve this texture and closeness without editing too much. Thats my next task.
