Masking is used a lot in sport photography. It is where the subject matter is edited onto the photograph more than once. They will show the path of the subject matter. This is another technique that I will use.

Using a really slow shutter speed is used when you want to get a photograph of light drawings. You have to use a tripod to get a photograph that isn’t all blurry. Whatever is completely still in the photograph will be fully focused but whatever is moving will be blurry. I will be using the long exposure technique in my final piece.

Ideas for Final Piece

Using a fast shutter speed will enable you to get sharp photographs. The subject matter will be fully focused. I will be using this technique in one of my photographs for my final piece.

Statement of Intent

I will answer my question on Nursery Rhymes by creating photographs that have a dark take on the nursery rhyme Jack be Nimble. I will have a photograph for each line of the nursery rhyme.  I will create these photographs by responding to my photographer Sarolta Ban and answering my question at the same time. Sarolta Ban’s work is heavily edited and very dark; I will make my photographs dark by making the colour scheme dark and having abnormal subject matter.

Response to Sarolta Ban

This is my response to Sarolta Ban, i have took the idea that she had of putting a fan blade in the back of a man's head. I have used a peel away can instead of a fan blade. I was originally going to use a plug socket but then i realised that Sarolta Ban's photograph looks good because the object on the man's head is a circle and having a square plug socket wouldn't look as good as something that is round. I like the can lid because it's like the can has been opened to see whats inside of his head and all that's their is a black empty space. I think that having the can partly open was better than opening it all the way because then it makes me think what could be behind their if it is opened a bit more, opening the can all the way would get rid of some of the mystery.

This is my response to Tiffinany White, Tiffinany's photographs are often very mysterious and the subject matter seems to be out of place. I thought for ages of what have as my subject matter and where to put it and in the end i thought of a water fountain in the middle of a field. I have edited the inside of the water fountain by adding a filter, the filter is green so it matches with the grass in the background. 

This is a photograph that I took and edited. This is my take on the fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood”

In this photograph there is a girl with a red dressing gown running in the woods. The girl is running along a path that leads into the distance which then disappears into some trees. The path and the girl are both in the middle of the photograph. The mood of this photograph is wondering. I think it makes the viewer want to know where she is running to, what she’s running from and why she is running. The first thing I see when I look at this photograph is the girl in the red dressing gown. I see this first because it is red and the rest of the photograph is black and white and the red is quite bright.

I like this photograph because the background is monotone it seems almost evil and the girl in red sticks right out so it could be that’s she’s running from the tree’s because there quite scary in black and white. The woods where the photograph was taken don’t have leaves on then with loads of flowers the branches are quite sharp and it doesn’t look like a place where a young girl would be.

This is my response to my photographer Jen Rinaldi. This photograph is of an angel holding a book in one arm with the other arm in the air. The angel has had one of it hands removed. I think the mood of this photograph is sadness. The facial expression that the angel has looks quite sad and the fact it has had it's hand cut off makes it look even more sad. The angel statue is central to the photograph. the background is the sky which is very grey and abissmal and then some tree's behind the statue. The background is out of focus.

I like this photograph because the sky was grey but it was quite bright this would usually meant that the statue would be a sillouette but all the features are clear on the angel.
