As I was accepted into Norwich University of the Arts, to study photography I was instantly relieved that I was going to such a prestigious University. with the merit that I was actually good at what I loved to do. As human beings in the 21st century, we live and thrive on acceptance and recognition that we are actually doing something right.
Almost immediately we were set to work. My task was to photography who I am as a photographer, and instantly I was full of wonder for who I am, at that point I had no idea what makes me who I am i spent a long time deliberating how to capture the essence of me as a photographer in pictures. I even asked photography friends what they thought.
And finally I came up with a solution!
deciding to take pictures of the things i liked, the kind of photography I wok on (which tends to be landscapes)
My first photograph was taken in Grand Central station New York. I used a long exposure to create blur and movement to reflect the hustle and bustle of the great state of New York!
I think this image achieves this effectively however the line of the wall at the bottom of the picture distracts the eye away from the true intention of the image!
I would have also preferred this image to have been more centralised rather than off to the side as shown below.
Note to self: Always take a tripod!
My second image was taken because of my love for the sea and the beach, which my A Level personal investigation heavily concentrated on. This photo was taken at a low angle looking out to sea and is framed by the green rocks at the bottom of the page.
I like this image because of the stormy atmosphere leading into the horizon line, which is added to by the almost murky water foaming around the rocks.
On the same note I don't like this image because it is very one tone, there is little to no dimension in the photo. and the green algae on the rocks distracts away from the image.
I really enjoyed discovering who I am as a photographer and I can't wait to embark on the rest of my time here at Norwich University of the Arts.
see you in the next post,
Rebecca
