Narrative film photography brief

For this brief I decided I would focus on capturing and framing the everyday, the sites and objects we walk past on a daily basis without noticing the work of art before our eyes.
There are certain places in Limerick city that have really captured my eye over the past year. I decided to photograph these places the way I look at them. I used dodge and burn effect on a few of the images and high contrast with a filter 4.5 on others to slightly distort or manipulate the image. Through this brief I have learned to look at everyday objects in a different light and how to edit in the darkroom which I found to be quite intriguing.

Robert Smithson Walk- Brief

For my Brief I focused on searching for beauty in desolation and destruction. I focused on certain areas that Sean showed us and also at certain spaces which we would normally not pay much attention to as we walk by. I was influence by Smithsons style of photograph and interpreted the work of Jeff Wall and Lewis Baltz and Richard Wentworth
