Proposal What type of photography are you going to produce?

Architecture

What contexts could this type of photography be used in? It can be used in calendars, on websites, in books, on greeting cards, in leaflets and galleries.

Who are your influences for this project? My influences for this project are Simon Kennedy and Roger enton. I think Simon Kennedy!s work is the best architecture work I!"e e"er seen. It is such good #uality and is so uni#ue. All of his $hotographs are "ery sharp and ha"e a high contrast. %hey also usually ha"e lines guiding you around the Image to make sure you ha"e seen the whole photograph in detail. Roger enton is a past architecture artist who died in &'(). I think his work is of a "ery good standard seen as they!re "ery old and ob"iously it was harder to take good photographs back then because you could not see the image you had produced straight away.

What will your subjects be for this project?

%he subjects I am wanting to photograph are the *unnington +all ,uilding which is "ery big and looks "ery old, this could be good for making photographs abstract, by taking close ups of the window. I am also wanting to photograph the bridges their with the +all in the background of them, I will most likely place the tripod at a low angle to take a picture of the bridges at eye le"el through it. %his will make someone feel like they!re standing on the bridge if they look at my photograph. Some of my $hotographs of the buildings I am going to manipulate to look different, some to make the meaning of them good and some bad. %here are ruins at *unnington +all, located in the forest, which will also be good for taking photo!s for because they!re "ery old and different from modern buildings. %hese will also make my photographs look abstract. %he use of colours with the place I am going to is limited, but the use of white balance will come into good use. %hey also ha"e metal gates with distincti"e patterns on at *uninngton +all, which will look interesting- I want to take some close up photographs of them. If these photographs are not the ones I am looking for then I will go to .ork and take some photographs of the old buildings their, such as the Minster and the church near main street. /%his is *unnington +all, which I ha"e found on 0oogle maps. 1ooking through this helped me decide what I wanted to take pictures of, Including the mind map and mood board also.

What techniques will you use? %he techni#ues I will use are different angled shots, sometimes for making the photograph look abstract, for e2ample using high angle shots on windy stairs. I will also use a low shot to get a shot of a building from a low point of "iew, this is used a lot in architecture work I!"e seen. I will also use a "ariety of long, mid, close and e2treme close up shots. %his is so you get different si3es of a building and also to look into detail. I will use all the camera settings on the S1R to make the images all look different so I ha"e a "ariety to choose from when I select my best $hotographs. %he settings I will use are white balance4 to see which colour I like my image to be in. I will use white balance for either making the photograph not look real or either making it look better. I will use aperture to see what the photographs look like on a low aperture, but will usually use the high aperture to make the whole image sharp and in focus. Shutter speed I will not really change that much, because I usually use that for if I want to free3e something or make something look blurry and out of focus, which I won!t want to be doing for architecture photography. IS5 I will be e2perimenting with, because I would like to see what each photograph looks like on a different IS5 setting. 6hilst doing all this I will use a tripod to make the images the sharpest they can get, without distorting them through camera shake. After taking all of my photographs I will be doing some manipulating to some of them, whilst still keeping the originals. Manipulating photographs is good if you want something to become abstract. I also like changing the colour adjustments on $hotoshop because this can change a whole meaning of a photograph. 5n most of the photographs I will use post production just to correct some of the e2posure and sharpness of some $hotographs. I will also use dodging and burning to change some of the highlights and shadows.
