Exam Shoot 2 - Straight Images - John Clang

These are the best images from my exam shoot linking to the work of John Clang.


This was the first edit I did for my exam shoot. I set up looking out onto a loading bay and took photos each time someone came across the path of my camera. I made sure I was out of the public's way and only took as many photos as I actually needed so as not to aggrevate any members of the public who may have disagreed with what I was doing. After taking the photos I uploaded them onto my computer and set about deciding which ones were the best. After deciding and in some cases editing the images I printed them off and set about organising the image into a decent order. Once sure, I ripped the images into sections with the people in them and blu-tacked them onto a fresh piece of A4 paper. Once I was happy with what I had I scanned it into the computer. I made sure the image size and the orientation were correct and then I uploaded it to this blog. I feel that this image is a good one that links to my 'Passing of Time' exam piece quite well. For all of the images I had my camera set on auto mode and auto focus. 


I really like this edit as it is more alike to John Clang's work than any of the work I had done before. In this edit I didn't just take different parts of the same sized photos and then put them in a row, I cut around different areas of the image and then stuck these areas in their relevant places on the final edit. This meant I was able to fill more of the image with less pieces. For example, where the front entrance of Boots is, I ripped around the entrance and then put it on top of the other image. And on the far left of the picture I cut around the two men walking and put them down on the image. I really like this image and think that it gives you a real feeling of the passing of time. Thereby, I think this is my best image from the series.
