Portraits PT5 - My Final Piece

My Final Piece

after a lot of thought about which I felt was my strongest, I still found it very hard. so I went around and asked my friends what they thought. I them found some photography year 2/3 students and asked their opinions as they were doing a course based on it. I showed them my final 3 and asked what they liked and why.

One year 3 student called Ellie said, 'Personally, I really like the shadow piece. I haven't seen a lot of photographs like this and I enjoy the fact that it is different. it also shows the most technical ability out of the 3, it looks deliberate and as though you went to take it with more intention in mind than the other two photographs. I also really like how it relates so strongly to Freedlander's original piece but still shows different depth and originality.'

Another student called Phoebe who was year 2 said, 'I like the shadow piece best because its unusual. its not what I would first think of when people say the word 'portrait'. compared to what you usually see for portraits its really original and refreshing.'

after hearing what my friends and the photography students had to say about my work, I decided to use the shadow piece for all the reasons they outlined and also for the reasons I outlined previously in posts. I think I have made the right choice to use this one as it shows the most ability, it looks deliberate and not like I took it by accident. the shadow is clear and crisp in the photo and it is a little different to what you'd usually expect from a portrait.

Here is my final image without any editing:






Special mention to the photography students

What is memory?

What is memory? MEMORY:  1.  the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information 2.  something remembered from the past; a recollection The human memory is something that has been studied and researched over 2000+ years. everything we know is comprised by human memory, from learning to speak, until the memories we create today. various people have formulated research into the human memory, having completed experiments; such as in the 1960's where it was thought that memory didn't only exist in the human b rain, but also in other cells, known as cellular memory. experiments were conducted, these were referred to as "memory transfer", where they used canibal flatworms, and recipients of organ transplants, to survey the fact. it was reported that recipients had taken on new habits or memories after their transplants. however, this is now considered mistaken and has been disregarded in todays scientific journals....
