Shoot 3 - Snow Work Diary

In this shoot I explored the topic of showing evidence of the weather of snow. Throughout this shoot, which was carried out at home, I searched for interesting pieces and compositions which show evidence of snow. A lot of my successful pieces were close ups of snow, showing detail, shapes and patterns. I thought quite a lot of my work was successful by showing the contrast between the snow and other darker objects, therefore enhancing the shape, detail and attention to the snow.These images show a clear evidence of the winter season through the recognition of snow.

In this photograph I captured a close up of flakes of snow which were attached to a net of a trampoline. Lines are clearly shown in this piece as many dark thin black lines are organised in a crosshatch style in order to demonstrate the pattern of the net. Also the blurred background of the composition is very dark which amplifies and contrasts with the light speckles of snow which are shown in the foreground. This contrast also enhances the shapes of snow. This pieces also implies a sense of depth as the background of the photo is blurred whereas the foreground is in full detail.

This is also a successful image which shows evidence of several things. Firstly it shows evidence of snow through the white sections of the composition and the thin lines travelling upward towards the left side of the frame. These lines also show patterns which contrast with the dark surface of the road and therefore illustrate tire tracks. These tracks are included upwards on the left side of the piece where one separate track starts on the right side and moves diagonally towards the direction of the others. Therefore demonstrating evidence of a journey and travelling.

Progression:

In my next shoot I would like to carry on with exploring the theme of damage. I could do this by taking a photograph of an object in its original form and then take a photograph of it after it has been damaged. Also I will search the college campus for any interesting inspirations which illustrate abandoned objects which have been damaged.
