20200515-update to learning

With the ongoing COVID restrictions to work and travel, I will be looking to returning to work in the coming weeks TBC.

So what have I been doing recently?

• exploring self-portraits
• understanding the use of studio/flash
• WiP with assignment five
• researching new ideas
• purchasing second-hand books
• getting outside and taking pictures
• different forms of media creation (zines)

Working with light and dark is always something I enjoy looking for. During this time I’ve started to see places I’ve not seen before. The lack of people walking and congregating around what would normally be a tourist haven and direct route to Windsor Castle, I’ve started to find small areas where the light bounces of or creates strong backgrounds to capture contrast silhouettes. These are for me the beauty of photography, where compositions are found and developed during the edit. These locations will be great spots come the days we return to normality in the future.

I intend to use one or two of these images and few new ones I need to recce first to add the assignment two adjusted version building on the use of colour and chiaroscuro.
