For our first task of the day, we were given a letter and from this had to photograph three objects beginning with that letter. My letter was 'T' and so I found a tap, a roll of tape, and a bobbin of thread to photograph. Not particularly exciting, but it was just to get us warmed up, plus I only had my phone so the results aren't very good quality...
Next, we were put into pairs and then everyone had to write down an action and a place (in the studio) on two pieces of paper. We then picked one of each, and had to photograph our partner doing what the paper instructed. Firstly, my partner Lydia picked out 'jump' and 'behind the door' so I decided to jump from the staircase outside the room towards the door (glamorous, eh?)
I then picked out 'gallop' and 'in the corner' so decided to focus on Lydia's feet whilst galloping. I quite like the results (although they're a bit out of focus, I wasn't really sure how to work the camera) as she looks as if she is floating in some of the images, making them quite fun. (Now the photos refuse to resize or move, cheers blogger...)
Lastly, my partner chose 'hopping' and 'in the corner.' To make the photograph more exciting, Lydia decided to decrease the shutter speed so my hopping would create blurred, almost abstracted shapes. This was really effective and the results remind me of some of Francis Bacon's work.
