Barbara Kasten, Scene III, 2012I think this picture is really abstract because when I looked at it I couldn't tell what it was and also I could see loads of shadows and different shapes and textures. If I was to touch the texture of the big square on the picture I would think it would be bumpy. Also I can see a mirror at the bottom of the picture. Where I can see the shadows and the different patterns on the big square I think it is a reflection of the mirror and making a pattern on there. Also going back to the texture I would think that there is a water effect in that big shadow of a square.

Wolfgang Tillmans, Freischwimmer 26, 2003The reason I picked this photograph is because I think it's really abstract. I like this photo a lot this is because it looks like a tree but it looks like it has water paint on it or water has been spilt on wet paint. I like this as well because I like the way it is not focus on the white. Also I like the way were it is not focus it goes from white to like pink then to a dark pink and then it goes into the pattern.

In the lesson I created 6 photograms. I like this one because everything is sorted in its own place. the light has not been to exposed, also you can see what some of the objects are. The image is high contrast with the objects set against a dark black background. Some of the objects are parallel to each other but others are set at an angle. This introduces a bit of drama into the photogram. Most of the shapes are rectangular but one of them is round. There is also a hole in the card at the bottom. This also provides some contrast. |
Unlike the photogram above this one is made up of curvy shapes and lines. I feel more excited to look at this photo-gram. The balloon shape in the middle is the focal point in the middle and its surrounded by lots of wavy line made by a wire mask that I fount in the dark room. it has been contrasted well. I like this photo because i like the ways there is no shadow in this photo. all it really is it is black and white. |
The thing I like in this photo-gram is that there is loads of different shapes. This is on of my favourites because where that rectangular shape is you can see through it and see the other shapes underneath it, Also I like the strip of film in the bottom right corner, I like it because as you can see half of it is a different texture to the top of the film also it is much more darker the the top of it. If I could change 1 thing about this it would be to add more objects to the photo and try different texture objects to see if the texture of the object prints on to the photo. |
Here is another one that I made i quite like this one because of the objects.The objects I like the most is the balloon and the object that is at the top with the hole in. I like them objects because the balloon showed up really well and people could tell that it is a balloon. Also the object at the top i like that because where it curved up in the corner you could still see the holes and the outline of the object,I also like that object because I like the way you can see the out line of the circles in the middle. WWW: that all the objects came up nice and you can tell what some of them are. EBI: that i added a bit more unique objects to the picture. |
I like this photograph because it is only showing half of the person.I also like it because the photograph is is black and white but then it has one other bright colour in the photo that makes it stand out.I choose this photograph because it stand out from all the other photo because of the colours.The thing what is unusable about this photograph that it all black and whit and that the person is wearing black and then the umbrella standing out because they could of used a black or white umbrella.One of the formal elements that are being used is tone, this is being used on the snow and the person because the snow is whit and then on the person straight away it goes to black so the tones combined together.The things i think that are important are the umbrella and the colours.They are abstract because the way he uses black and white and then add one bright colour to it.

This is my favourite photo I took. This is because I like the way the coloured card is in of focus and the background is out of focus. I also like it because you can tell that it is two people inside of the circle even though it is out of focus. But the thing I don't like about this photo is the background is out of focus but I think it is too much out of focus. Another reason why is that the colour card is darken on one side then the other side. |
