Research

Brief
I have been approached by a highly innovative and creative design website to generate six high- quality, experimental images for their company. They also want to run a feature documenting the development of your work and you have been asked to present this in the format of a blog.

Scenario 
Photographers often present their work in a portfolio. A typical photographic portfolio will show a variety of photographic skills that includes a range of the diverse approaches by the photographer. Experimental photography encourages and develops the learners’ creative skills to challenge the more conventional methods to produce individual and innovative outcomes. The final portfolio for this unit will consist of images on a website.

Scanograms

These are created by putting things on the flat bed scanner, to get the black background you leave the lid of the scanner open. I really like these photos because you can do a lot with it. I really like the technique used because it is so detailed and looks very natural. 

This cover is usually removed or held open when scanning a object/objects, to stop damage of the subject. Flatbed scanners normally have a hinged cover that covers the bed, and reflects light back into the scan head. Taking off the cover also allows the photographer to use different lights that can be positioned above the bed, which can be used to improve the depth captured by the scanner. A famous photographer I have found that uses scanograms is Richard Dawson. I really like his work because it is really effective and well thought out. I like the way he has positioned it so it covers the whole picture/scan and it is not just in one spot.  


Emulsion Transfers
These are created by taking a photo then putting emulsion paint onto it. Then you place it down onto some paper and wait for it to dry. Once it has dried you get a damp cloth and rub over the top of it until the photo is revealed. I do really like these photos because they give you the feeling that they're old, they look quite vintage. They especially look old because the colors are quite faded i do l would definitely try this effect out. A famous photographer i have found that uses Emulsion is Gary Auerbach. I really like his work because it is quite fairy taily. Its really nice how he has only rubbed like half of the photo off and left patches throughout the photos. 

Projections
These are created by projecting a imagine onto a person/object. I really like these photos because they look quite mythical and unnatural. I like the way some of them have been put in black and white and I also like the affect of the ones in colour. I especially like the ones with bugs and wings because they're really interesting and look a lot more interesting then just a pattern.  A famous photographer that uses projections is...
