Week 1 Evaluation

WEEK ONE EVALUATION

I am relitivly pleased with this weeks images. They were all taken in the half-term beforehand and this gave me more freedom as I was away during this time. The research I have done has helped and I have found some great photographers. The most exiting part of this project so far is seeing the rest of my classmates' work. This is the first project where we have had this much freedom and everyone is really expressing themselves.

I named this week's images "A Shift in Weather" because while I was away at half-term, the weather was rapidly changing and this is very obvious in the images. 

My favourite photograph from week 1 is the one of the lady with the umbrella. I love the mystery in the image.

Below is some other artists' work I found to be highly inspiring this week.


Alfred Stieglitz, 1926



Taken by an unknown photographers, all I know is their username on lomography.com is 'graefin'.
The text below is the information written next to the above image.
"The thunderstorm was right in front of my window. So, after a view minutes of watching the lightnings come down, I decided to open the window, take my Lubitel, a gorillapod and a cable release. I let the shutter open for a very long time until finally lightning struck! This was an experiment, so I was very happy that it turned out that good!"
