Souvenirs: P9 final submission

After much stress, not so much with the blood, definitely sweat and almost tears I managed to complete everything I needed and submitted a final set of 15 images entitled "Souvenirs". 

This time, when I photographed, I set the depth of field and focal length of the camera and then careful place the objects with the plane of focus. Consequently, the objects are all to scale relative to each other (or at least they should be!). 

Throughout this module the concept behind my work has changed several times. It started out in a much more personal place and has end up more about tourism in general and how whether these object that we can possess from all over the world truly represent the cultures from which they originate.

P9 shoot 4

By this point in the module I felt like I was cutting it extremely fine in terms of actually getting everything done in time and I had hoped that I would be able to make this my final shoot but afterwards I realised there were still a few things that needed tweaking.

The blue background works much better for me than grey or white, I think it just gives the images a warmer, more vibrant feel. The closer up shots of the broach and key rings seemed a little bit too product-y for a fine art based body of work, hence why I did another shoot after this one.

P9 shoot 3

For my third shoot I decided to take the advice of another of my lecturers and simplify my visual approach. Working with the paper planes had been a lot of fun but I kind of felt like they were taking over what the project is actually about which is the objects.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi

These are the last of my photographs from my trip to Dubai. We spent an afternoon and an evening in Abu Dhabi visiting the Grand Mosque and grand it most certainly is! The design and craftsmanship is just beautiful.
