Photography Assignment - Frozen Flowers

Blog Post Number Seven

For my latest photography assignment the criteria was to create a piece of art… so pretty much any art style photography you want. I chose to do a style of photography where you freeze flowers in water and photograph them these are my results… the last one is the one I submitted… :D the rest have not even been edited :P

I really love these photos, it is a completely different view to how we usually see flowers… :D

Things to look forward to:
A surprise… not even I know yet :D

Quails

Blog Post Number Six

So my school’s biology section just incubated and hatched some Quails… they were born the 20^th and 21^st of September and on the 23^rd of September I was allowed to take them to the studio and photograph them :D Here are my photos… There are also another two photographs for my hands exhibit :D woo hoo!!! http://bopeepphotography.blogspot.com/2011/09/hands-exhibit-photo-selction.html check out the collection so far here…

I am so happy with these results; I think the photographs are absolutely adorable! Someone suggested doing a card series out of them… don’t think so but I think they are cute… even with a fear of birds ;)

Hands Assignment

Blog Post Number Four

This semester for my final media assignment, I got to choose absolutely anything as long as it was media related. It had to be directed to a client, and had to be something I would work towards all semester. Being me and absolutely loving photography, I chose to incorporate the two things together. I chose to create a photographic exhibition, which would be presented to the public. My photographs will go on exhibition at both Civic Library and Belconnen Library during November and December. The idea/aim for the exhibition was to depict the journey of life through hands.

Why hands you might ask… Last year for a documentary assignment the task was to create a photograph that told a story to its viewers… I chose to take a photograph of a friend’s hands. Scars, wrinkles and freckles anything you find on hands adds to a story.

Once I took this photo and submitted it for the assignment, I did ok… I then entered it in the ACT government’s Life’s Reflections Photographic competition http://www.dhcs.act.gov.au/wac/ageing/photographic_competition this photograph ended up receiving a judge’s encouragement award, and going on exhibition around Canberra for 6 months. I had always had an interest in hands and after this it just added to the interest in hands and the story they tell about a person’s life. So that is the story behind taking a series of hands photographs for my final assignment. The exhibition will consist of 10 black and white photographs which will depict the journey of life.

This week I did my first shoot specifically for this assignment, I shot both Miss S’s hands and my sister’s hands, with many more shoots in the plans… these are the results.

I am really happy with the results and am excited to see how the rest of the photographs will turn out… I am open to any suggestions… and any volunteer models, who will have a photograph taken of them doing something specifically related to them. :D Email me with any suggestions and or model offers :P :D enquiries@bopeepphotography.com

Fun in the Studio!!!

Blog Post Number Two

I am very excited to upload my first actual blog post about my recent happenings, rather than just a blog about my images in general.

For the second time ever I used my studio today, I was using it for shoot related to my final media assignment, which I will explain in future blogs, but it ended with Miss P (my sister) and I having a lot of fun together… here is what we created…

I really enjoy these photographs and probably mostly the laughter that was associated with each photograph, I do like the way they could work as a series, and are also images that capture her personality individually. Overall I love these photos, and hope you will too.

Things to look forward to:

A small selection of photographs I took at Floriade on the weekend…
