I used long exposure and available lights for this shoot and i wanted to capture lots of different movements as much as possible.

I good place to experiment with the light trails idea was the fun fair. The lights on the rides are set on fixed paths which creates some really interesting shapes. I was aiming to make it clear that these were rides but use the trails to show the movement of the ride.

I want to do something like this for my project.

An artist with an interesting take on movement is David Hockney. Through the 70’s and 80’s Hockney produced a series of works that he called ‘joiners’. These were multiple photographs, often Polaroid’s, arranged in a collage. The earliest pieces in this series of works were often portraits but as the subjects moved, as would the framing of the photograph. This produced a short story of the way that the photographer perceived the subject over a period of time (all be it short) as appose to a single moment which is a restriction of a single photographic image.

My experiments.

For our purposes an image like this there are lot’s of visible moving elements, the students walking by and lot of additional detail. I experimented with using different exposure and timimg. 

Yesterday afternoon me and my friends set up a still life studio, for photographing commercial style and the ideas was to capturing slow motions, freezing motions by using the objects we brought, also my tutor left some objects for us too use. For example: #eggs, #wine glass, #food colours, #balloons, #bubblegum. ..ect.
