My photo works such as this, this or this are all examples of my attempt at creating unique images that use staging or lighting to allow the viewer to make and view the story within them. My video work attempt the same thing.

To me credwson is one of the best examples of a photographer showing narrative in thier work.

A series of photo’s i call “Growing out of focus”, as the year has progressed the continued lockdowns and being stuck in inside with little human interactions has caused me to be more introspctive and focus on myself, thus changing on how i view myself(focus) becoming more abstract and blurry as i question myself on deeper and abstract things with it eventually becoming so muddled that i am merely a smear in the frame showinhg how changed my thoughts and focus are now.

The overall narrative of the video is how being stuck at home has caused my day to day become a repeat of themselves with very little variations to it, and my growing confusion on how quickly it has happened without me being aware of it and my frustration towards it once realisation sinks in of how im stuck in my home.

I also like Mr Gildens work because while his photo’s are candid they almost all create a narrative in them, there always seem’s like there a story happening in them and we get to view it. 

A digitial work i created from editing photo’s together to add to the atmosphere, i was inspired by an artists named sean mundy https://t.co/I1KiiLEwfY?amp=1 this is a link to where you can see some of his works. I think this piece came out fine, i hope to improve my skills with photoshop and krita so i can make images like this more realistic.

A little photoshoot I did over the week, I was inspired by gregory crewdson and his use of lighting in his photography and the story he try's to construct in them. I gonna try to do more work that's inspired by his over the coming weeks seeming how lighting can help in playing into the narrative of the story.

Francessca woodman was a name that pop up a couple times throught this semster, intrigued i gave a look a her work and was quite happy with what i found. Her work is very deep and requires you to question which i quite like, and she usually use’s herself as the model which is something i also do out of convenice. In reflection i think some og my works have drawn inspiriation from her’s.

And #research for all the research ive posted.

Here’s my attempt at trying to make a movie poster for graphic design.

A mindmap, thumbnails of idea and two final design I made today in the logo workshop for graphic design, I decided to go with the logo for an ice cream company called ice-scream, as I like ice scream and have a skull tattoo.

Collage I did for graphic design after the workshop for collage last Monday, I liked the idea of people fleeing into the void to find something new, kinda achieved it I think.

Here’s my first attempt at trying to overlave audio with video and create a little story. I call this piece window gazing and i quiet enjoyed making it

First proper attempt at aniamting, it turned out all right.

I didnt go into this with just one idea in mind, i just want to shot and edit something long format just to see what the process would be like. I finally settled on doing a mock version of my morning routine once i wake up. I enjoyed learning from this process and how i might improve on something like this in the future as there are little detail’s that aren't perfect in this video, try and spot them.

Here’s my first attempt at making a movie poster from the animation we have .

I thought the would be the opportunity to explore more photography work and this is what I've come up with.
