Time / Light / Space: the task was to take several pictures with the emphasis on either of those aspects by altering the aperture / shutter speed / focus. This task is supposed to make one comfortable with using the camera’s manual mode in order to complete the upcoming tasks.
Emulation Project
This task’s main point was to present the chosen photographer’s work and to “emulate” his work and technique. The template was designed by me in Canva. Here you can see a presentation of it:
Collage
The task here was to make a collage on the topic of: “This is me”. Here, I decided to experiment with the linguistic aspect of it and portray how I really think (in several languages) and touch upon the subject of national identity and the fusion of them.
Cyanotypie / Blueprint
These images were made out of negative prints or plants that were found outside with the technique of blueprinting.
Reportage Photogrraphy
The task here was to photograph everyday life as it is.
Self-portrait
This self-portrait is a reference to the film “Det Perfekte Menneske” by Jørgen Leth (1968) and here I wanted to emulate the hand movements of the “Perfect Human” and how alien, mysterious and sterile the film looked.
Final Project
When I woke up, I felt inspired
The fists, they clenched, I felt the fire.
We couldn’t help, so we created
The things that set us off to sky.
Godspeed, you fighter, you can do it!” –
They said to me when I was low.
We saw the winter, made it summer
And in the joy we found our home.
I couldn’t help but paint new feelings
– I couldn’t help but get reborn.
And when I saw myself in mirror
It wasn’t me I used to know.
This work illustrates how the changes on a personal level occur. Each photo symbolizes a quote from a poem of my writing and showcases how one could go through these transformations, see the world through the eyes of others and become a different person. The final image was taken using auto-mode and has had zero editing for a reason. When one accepts oneself, there is no need for filters, change of images or symbolism and everything is the way it is. The technique I used was multiple exposure and that was later on edited in Photoshop (basic RAW editing and color grading).
