Research On Location and Asthetic theme




Unit 29 fashion and Location



Calverley Woods




For my first idea I have decided to capture still life images of watches in a natural environment, the most suitable location is a woodland located in Leeds. It contains many attractions such as rivers, tree stumps, fallen leaves, ponds and flowers.

Centenary square 

 




My second shoot will be carried out in Centenary Square Bradford, it is a perfect location for urban images because it contains man-made water features this would be great when comparing to a river image from my first shoot. Other subjects are statues, mosaics and patterns, gates and railings.

I have chosen to shoot Formal and smart watches against a natural environment to create a conflict between subject and background, and if this shoot goes well I will choose to shoot within Bradford city centre this will allow me to compare urban and natural environments.

I could use tree stumps as a stand to capture high angle because it is at an elevated surface I would be able to get underneath the subject. I could also create distorted circles when shooting upwards towards the sky. High angle would also allow me to play with people’s minds by changing the scale for example if I was to shoot a close up of a watch beside a tree the watch would look larger this will make an interesting image.

Shadows will add detail and it could also create dark tones this will allow me to avoid reflections that would ruin my images. Furthermore shadows can add lines and patterns to guide and attract the viewer.

Urban locations contain many colours and materials I can create strong contrasts for example I have a silver watch with a black dial if I place it against a black surface it would create a strong contrast between the silver and a harmonious effect due to the black dial and background.
My Aesthetic theme will allow viewers to contemplate and discuss which images they prefer and why this will create opinions that I will be able to use to improve to any projects I may have in the future.
