Evaluation
After studying the photographers in both the research log and separately in my photographer research. I was able to see the ways in which I could start the Journey topic. One thing I found most common about the Journey topic is that many photographers go on road trips and journeys away from where they usually live. Therefore, during the first lesson, me and a friend decided to go on a journey to the forest to capture the theme of the topic. Firstly, I wanted to take images in the style of photographer Ben Gould, where the camera was placed in a position that you could see both the rear view mirror and the front of the car - however, as I was driving this was not practical and therefore I couldn't do this. Instead, I decided to start taking images when we arrived at the forest.
One of the most challenging aspects of visiting the forest, was deciding what I was going to take images of. I was unsure of whether to take images of the Journey to the forest, signs of a Journey in the forest or a literal journey taking place which I could photograph. As a starting point, I decided to place a person in the scene and use someone walking in the forest. I walked behind them and followed them, taking images of them walking through the forest. The reason I did this was because it enabled me to start the project by directly following the theme of a Journey, however I didn't like the way my images came about as such. One of my favourite images from this shoot was the following of Josh walking through the forest. The reason this is one of my favourite images is due to the way it conforms to the theme of a Journey. There is a slight motion blur occurring in the image, which shows the theme of movement and therefore relates to the nature of the topic. I changed the colours in this image on photoshop by editing them so that they were more vibrant, as many rural images I had studied featured very colourful surroundings.
Progression
In the future, I aim to take more images in the style of Landscape, and go on journeys to different locations. I want to go to Brighton, and take images of the different cultures which come from the diverse city, and also take images in the style of my photographer research Jacob James.
