Infrared:Final Project Proposal

Final Project Proposal

I)
Romantic landscape photography, a selection of technical and eye catching landscape images. With the concept of things we can not see but are none the less there and romantic landscapes. Using the same type of composition as the romantic style of landscape paintings, and using the same type of image construction.
II)
They will be either be printed on 16x22 digital paper or printed on 12x16 photographic black and white paper, from black and white negatives/infrared.

I)
Influences:
Romanticism
Starting Points:
Black and White Landscape Photography
Contextual References:
Casper David Friedrich, Simon Marsden, Ansel Adams
II)
I could use Infrared film to explore ideas of things we can't see but are there and convey ideas of romanticism, such as Simon Marsden Or I could use red filters and long depths of field like Ansel Adams.
Books:
The Photograph by Graham Clark
Photography: A Critical Introduction by Liz WellsInfrared Landscape Photography by Todd Damiano



I) I will be using a medium format film camera, black and white 120 film with the use of filters. I will be using either digital or analogue media to print the final images, as time will play a factor and I will have to make a decision then.
II)
Week 1: Reading and Research
Week 2: Idea Development and Research
Week 3: Preplanning and Technical Research
Week 4: Shooting
Week 5: Printing and Technical Details
Week 6: Final Prints and Evaluation
Week 7: Presentation
Week 8: Exhibition I)
Self and peer review is my chosen proposed method of evaluation, this is because i find this easier and I feel that it will get the attention it needs.

Final Project:Un

Image And Text:Un


I Began to think about text and image and my previous attempts, then i thought about visual images which are described as text their, are only a few the obvious one is dreams. I have weird and vivid dreams, and some that often come true but what other dreams do other people have, i liked this idea and it was easy and accessible were ten years ago it would be difficult without Photoshop, so the plan was simple. Get 3 people to write down a dream and take a high key portrait, which went well except one person Lizzie Duffell didnt write it down. Then I scanned in the textand merged the image and the text,seen left.

Then I tried to put relay and anachor text together via the use of a name,age,occupation block text at the top, which i believe doesnt work too well and i should just write it as the image title, if anyone would like tell me over wise please do?!?

I also think i will do this as a book after the deadline, i need 30 people!
