Week 4- 360 Degree Photography & Digital Studio Copying

An artist that although does not use a pinhole camera fits in well with pinhole photography is Sam Taylor wood as she produces 360 degree images within her body of work. A good example of this is a piece called ' Looking Out' which is shown below, it is done by c type colour medium. It is not as big as most of her work being only 50cm x 60cm.

 

In the afternoon we did studio copying using the canon 5D. Here is how we set the lighting up to take the photographs:

As you can see this is a fairly basic set up using 2 light boxes for natural lighting with a board on the floor to put the small objects and camera above to capture the photograph. We then used a light meter to check the lighting was correct. 

The objects were meant to be objects which represented yourself which was hard to doing as most of things that are important to me are back at home. Below are my final studio copies ready to use in a later workshop.

Necklace- Sentimental value as was a family members 

Ipod- represents my love for music and also showed it was the cover as i shows my love for cats.

Hand Cream- An essential that i could not leave the house without. 

Jersey Stamp- A little bit of insight of where I live.

My converses- Something I wear often.

Charm Bracelet- Each charm is individual and shows lots of information about a person the more charms collected.
