Creating our own images using inspiration from researched photography.
In connection with previous work, in task 3 my chosen aspect to capture is colour and the use of it to portray different emotions and subject matter in photography. I also want to capture techniques that highlight the time-period the shots were taken and also how camera angles can effect the message of the image and the personal/impersonal connection to the audience.
Weegee - Sammy's.
Following research about WeeGee's project named Sammy's, for task 3 i wanted to create my own images using techniques and styles that he used. The images I chose to photograph capture the personality and tongue-in-cheek attitude of the cabaret club Sammy's in 1930's New York.
Although the images are in black and white, which sometimes can be viewed as changing the mood of an image to depressing or negative, Weegee used a bright flash which brightened the black and white making it appear much more positive.
To create this I used flash in natural light and turned my ISO to 200, shutter speed to 1/125 s and exposure to -2. This made the images have a bright focal point and the background appear darkened.
After shooting, I used photoshop to make the images black and white and also used curves to change the exposure of the images.

David Gillangers- Street kids of Ukraine
This is an example of how black and white photography can be used differently to emote sadness and desperation. The photographer shot these in the 1990's. As David Gillangers uses such a strong message in his photographs, I wanted to recreate one of his iconic images using colour and camera angle. Using flash, natural light, ISO 200 and exposure 0, i created a darker black and white image. Moving onto photoshop, I firstly made the image black and white, then i made my model appear dirty and darkened her hair colour in an attempt to made her look homeless.
William Eggleston- Troubled waters.
I chose this photographer as he is very different then the previous photographs in the colours he uses and his message. As the photographer shot these images in the 1970's, the images appear sharp and have a red tint to them. The message he portrayed was the simple life of southern america and simple pleasures. I tried to recreate this by photographers things in my home such as my fridge and one of my living rooms. To create these images, i used flash, set my aperture to F5, shutter speed to 1/125s and ISO to 200. Using the program Picasa(similar to photoshop) I made the images sharper, and added a red graduated tint which i feathered throughout the image.
