Time and The Image.

Time and the image.

I chose this as my final image for this image lab. This was for many reasons, for example I thought the composition was eye catching, not having the main focal point in the centre but slightly off set unlike in the other shot. Looking at the image also gave me think of connotations of wildness and rawness. I visualised a Lion roaring and the streaks of light coming from the side were its whiskers and the faint shadows of light on the top its ears.

This image is meant to symbolise movement and the rigidness of the choices we make which determine these movements.

I enjoyed this project as I like working digitally and work which is colourful, to me is more inviting and appeals to me more as an artist.

Time and the Image.

I've always liked the idea of long exposures in images especially those which are full of colour. I think they create a kind of abstractness that instantly appeals to an audience as they are made to look for details within the image trying to work out what things are by their lines and colours.

At first I attempted to take a few photos that were inspired by Alexey Titarenko's work I had seen.

30 second exposure.

I went to the christmas markets with the narrative of getting ready for christmas as that is what the buzz of this time of year is for.

Although I like this idea it just wasn't as appealing to me as I had expected so chose to move to a new idea.

I used 6 glow sticks and a torch to create abstract eye catching images on the basis of long exposures.
