Week 1 - Learning About Fine Art Photography

  The start of the new school year also means the start of a new project. We didn't get a brief, but we got the main idea of what had to be done. You had to make a piece of fine art that would show "control" by the end of the project. So first I had to find out what fine art is and what kind of object or idea would link back to control and make a fine art piece about it. Being that art like painting and creating something with a piece of paper is by far not my strong point I think I will have to pull my weight up a bit more than I would've in the last few projects. After receiving my sketchbook (which would act like a folder) I got going in making a front page and then into some research on 3d fine artists (as in sculptors) and some fine art photography photographers. I got on to looking at a sculptor who's name is Louise Bourgeois. After doing some more research I headed of with a new school camera and tried to get the overall image and take some pictures that had to do with control. I took quite a few pictures of Maxime trying to escape the school and climbing over fences and gates, I also took a picture of what looked like a drain which had a pattern of crosses and diagonal shapes. After taking my pictures I went back to the CRaM room and got on photoshop and started editing my best pictures. I found out that my white balance was messed up and one of my good photos turned out blue, amateur mistake. I'm not the best with photoshop either so couldn't come out with the best of what could've been done. I did learn and remember a few stuff about photoshop and i'm going to have to learn a bit more when I get deeper into the project. Here are some of the photos that I had edited:
