Devon Barthold Final Project

            I photographed the motion of indoor objects. I want to show the unique and abstract motion lines or patterns that are created from the use of a slow shutter speed and a moving object. At the beginning, I was not sure of the exact technique I was going to use to photograph the motion of these objects. I also was focusing on the motion of the object and how it interreacted with the plain backgrounds. But through class critiques I learned that I needed to focus in on the motion the object, the background left room for distraction and it did not help in the way I thought it would originally. Through trial and error, I learned that the best way to photograph the motion of indoor object is to use a tripod and have the objects move through the view of the camera. I originally wanted to focus on zoom photography but that was not a strong technique for the type of photographs I wanted. The zoom aspect gave the photographs a different look and took away from the actual motion of the objects. Now I find that my photographs focus in on the subject and motion blur that is formed from the movement of the object.
            Originally, I wanted to do a mix of indoor objects and outdoor objects. The movement of outdoor objects were extremely hard to capture because of the lightning outdoors, I needed a long shutter speed which requires less light. After finishing my project, I am glad that I struggled with capturing outdoor motion, it forced me to find new and interesting objects within my house to photograph.

Marc Wendelski Marc Wendelski is a geometrician anarchist, a meticulous amateur, a liberate surveyor. In his book “nage libre” he used his camera to capture landscapes and people. In most of his pictures he used diagonal or asymmetrical structure to composed his pictures. And the square pictures, with all sides of equal length, help him to emphasize the objects in the picture. Also, he used wide angle lenses to picture landscapes. Wide angle lenses give you a wide view and it’s perfect for capturing expansive landscapes. In Marc Wendelski’s pictures, the wide angle lenses help him to capture the whole landscapes and since wide angel make things look far away, it makes the scene magnificent. When noticing the color of his pictures, they always have a low saturation. The color in the pictures are not faithful to be reality. Even in the photos he probably took in summer, which trees are green, they convey a desolate feeling. Among all his photos, the sky is always white or light grey an...

Dennis Hopper Born May 17th 1936, he started taking art classes when he was 13. He started out as an actor but he developed a bad reputation for being a difficult actor, he turned to photography in the 1960’s.  He used a Nikon 33 mm camera that his wife gave him for his birthday. He took a lot of monochrome photographs and when he photographed in color he focused in on the way the colors worked together. He has captured many politically driven photographs but he has also captured many portraits of friends and the people around him in life. He liked to colors as an abstract design and would often photograph graffiti from the gangs in Los Angeles. For the series of photographs that I looked at he chose to capture these colorful designs in polaroid photos.  Artists Work My Photos

1/ what do you intend to photograph? I want to capture the real identity of different people. I want to photograph people when they are doing something in their bedrooms. I will start by asking questions: what you usually do in your bedroom. I want to find out the unknown sides of them. So I will mainly focus on my close friends who I have known for a while and find out either dark, crazy, weird sides by asking questions. will use a wide-angle lens trying to show their personality through the room decorations. My subjects might not look at the camera. And I hope they are comfortable with what they are doing like there is without a camera and outside observer. 2- why do you want to photograph the subject? I feel people all show totally different sides in public. It is necessary to hide some parts of the self. But it is interesting to explore what people are hiding or not brave enough to show. I know decent people take naked portraits or living under a mess because of mental p...
