Earth, Air, Fire, Water - Surfaces Primary Sources

My work is based on surfaces and weathering.

 

I have kept some photographs in colours they already contain bold colours which create a good overall images however i have put some others in black and white. I did this to show a strong contrast between the dark and light colours.

 

The majority of my photos were taken on the macro setting as they were close up and i was trying to photograph small detail.

 

I specifically arranged my images so that the composition is not too basic. For example I would take the photos so that the main subject is slightly off centred.

The viewpoints were taken at the same level as the subject so that all clarity was captured and the angle was straight on.

 

i used natural lighting to take these photos however i think that they would have been more successful if i used a studio light.

 

They have not been manipulated but i did touch them up using aperture. I adjusted the brightness and black point.

 

i think that my primary sources are successful as I managed to capture the detail of surfaces and weathering that i wanted.
