From last post I discussed using a scanner, unfortunately it didn’t work so I sounds a perspex container at the Bower in Marrickville and they graciously loaned it to me. So I said to work photographing some of these collections with themed ideas. I sent one of these to Penny and she discussed looking at the composition and suggested that I also contact photography teacher Jackie Redgate. So I will update on that once I have.
I was trying to get the impression that the material I’ve collected is above the water and the photo was being taken from underneath I’ve included glitter in the water as well so I used alight that hopefully look like the sun and it was also reflecting on the glitter. the second images are showing how I tried to catch you the photos but using a mirror because of the reflection on the perspex it was difficult to take it directly. it was hard to get a shot without the actual image of the phone screen or the iPad screen in the photo so by taking a photo in of the mirror and a certain direction I was able to capture it the other thing that I found difficult was you’ll see within the edge of the frame the frame of the mirror and some of the floor that is really hard to get a good composition under the constraints of working in my kitchen and working with the size.
I also did a little boy legacy which also had glitter but it was a different hair glitter and I use the same techniques as the pink.
