Shoot 9 Work Diary

I attempted to use photomontage in a way that allowed me to accurately depict the movement of objects and people in a single image. I looked at photomontage on different scales with people in large environments to objects with on a desktop. Since I wanted the image to show evidence of movement I made sure that the image showed a natural range of movements to show progression of the subject.

This image shows the movement of a person in a large environment. I wanted to incorporate objects within the surrounding environment in a way that added to the journey of the movement. As a result we can see the person sitting, walking and interacting with objects along the way to her destination. A black and white filter is used in order to add tone to the image. I used the tone as a part of the progression. Initially the person starts in a dark lit environment but as she ventures on her surroundings become more brighter as she reaches the end of her destination.

This image shows photo joiner on a smaller scale in order to replicate the movement of a bottle that has just fallen over. I used the label of the bottle to give the effect that the bottle was rolling. I was able to make the photo joiner more convincing by including a black and white filter which helped to create distance between each bottle. Depth has been used within this image through the use of the bottles. The audience can see how the size and shape of the bottles begin to slowly change the further that the bottle gets away.

Progression:

For my next shoot I would like to further explore the theme of evidence in movement in a different way. I would like to experiment with the use of light and different ranges of shutter speed to show movement in a more visually interesting way.
