Amber Pritchard ARDN516 The Photograph Image

What names, histories, memories, absences, or relationships are connected to these places? 

Things that are connected to my photos are my friends, my family, my pets, my new environment I’m living in, my neighbourhood, my everyday walking things I see daily, and just capturing it at different times of the day. 

And by taking these photos, it helps me to create new memories and capture them in a still photo.

How does light change what I notice, feel, or understand? How lighting changes the photo is a really big aspect, and some of my photos show this, as it can draw you to space in the photo, like if it’s outside and the sun is shining down, the bright colours are more exposed than the darker colours. 

What is my relationship to this place, and what responsibilities come with photographing it? 

My relationship with the space is that it’s my neighbourhood; it’s what’s around me. What I’m capturing is how I am living, and I’m trying to capture it in a way where people wouldn’t expect New Zealand to be this beautiful. And it also shows you that, by exploring, you can find really beautiful and interesting places around your neighbourhood that you wouldn’t expect would be there if you didn’t go and explore

What is becoming more specific as I keep photographing?

What are the projects he is working on is when he went there in 2016 and was taking photographs and went back in 2019 to show what it looks like after the renovations of the new building apartments and what has happened around that area since that time.

How his work is linked to my work is that I have recently moved to the North Shore. Since being in the west of Auckland for the past 18 years, I have been capturing what my new environment looks like and how it is so much different to my old environment. 

Week 3 – In-Class Workshop: White Balance

Task 2: Take three photographs of an interior scene that is lit by both natural light and domestic/artificial light. Each photograph should use a different white balance setting.

For this task, I experimented with different colour temperatures to see which one created the best result. I tested the different white balance presets on the camera, including:

Auto

Incandescent

Fluorescent

Direct Sunlight

Flash

Cloudy

Shade

Who is Ann Shelton 

She was born in Timaru, New Zealand, in 1967. She studied photography at Elam School of Arts, Auckland, and she also completed a Master of Fine Arts in Canada. She doesn’t just take photographs of nature, buildings and places; she also takes photographs of people. A lot of her photography has a deeper meaning behind it than just how the photo looks. 

What is the photography mother lord about? This photograph is about a small farm that grows food in a way that is good for the environment and helps keep the environment safer. In her photography, she wants to show that the farm is beautiful and neat and tidy, and she wants us to think differently about how we see a garden. Why is the farm important the farms important because she wants to show that farms grow and help us supply food for us or people who can’t afford food, and also help the farmers have a reasonable income. The food from the garden also helps look after the planet
