Final Photo Choices

Shoot Four

Shoot 3

In this shoot I tried to make my photos a little more abstract with the blur and motion of the lights but i found that in most of the photos it just ended up being distracting.

Artist Precedent: Tony Howell

I know that these style of photos are and obvious choice for night time photography and almost cliche' but i do feel that they portray my idea nicely. I think that using light is a good way of showing movement which in turn is a good way pf showing the pace of life. It's almost like these people are to busy with them selves that they don't even have time to stay in a photograph.

Shoot two

In this shoot I experimented with keeping the camera stationary and also tried having some movement when taking a photo to show the warping of lights. I think some of these are starting to show that the environment around us determines how we perceive time.

Revised Proposal

My plan was to compare the feeling of time and how we experience it depending on the environment around us. I was going to do this by comparing the fast pace of the city to the slower pace of a smaller town and the country side, unfortunately getting photos of the country side and my home town fell through. So, my proposal will now just concentrate on capturing the pace of the city. I found that during our test photos with fast and slow shutter speeds I really enjoyed taking photos of the city at night so that is what I'll focus on. I've also taken inspiration from the night shot of Alec Soth's below.

Artist Precedent: Alec Soth

What i really like about Alec Soth's photos is that he manages to convey a real sense of time and stillness. Each of these photos have a definite feeling of what it would be like to be in that environment. this is an idea that i would definitely like to explore and maybe even try to reproduce the same feeling with my own photos.

I love how each of these photos are very different in their own way but still convey a real sense of time.
