Photography
















Here are some photographs that I have taken. I did Photography last semester at uni, which I really enjoyed. At the end of the semester we had to put together a photography book of photos we have taken during the course, above is some of the photos and pages in my photography book

For one of my classes this semester at uni we got given a Haiku poem and then had to explore the poem and create an AO poster about our Haiku words using text and images (above)

My Haiku poem is:

coquettish seagull
melting blushing grotesque prune
hastening echo


After finishing my AO poster I create a 30 second film in iMovie HD going through the story of my Haiku poem. I made 5 silhouette shadow models based on my Haiku poem. I then put my models on top of my A0 poster and used lights to project shadows. The whole time that the light was projected onto my models to create shadows I was taking photos documenting the shadows.

I imported my photos into iMovie and started experimenting with the timing of the photos so that it would run smoothly when played. Music was the next thing I added. Seeing as my poem is quiet dark and gloomy I decided to have music by Evanescence ‘Tourniques’ playing in my film. I experimented with my photos and music so that the different scenes would work together and work well as an overall short film. I also recorded myself saying my Haiku poem and placed that at the start of my film to introduce my Haiku poem.

Here is my animation film on my Haiku poem:
