Anne Geddes

Anne Geddes was an Australian born phoographer. She lives and works in newzealand.
She is known for her sylized depictions of babies and motherhood. Her images show babies and oung children dressed as airies and fairytale characters,flowers,or small animals. She descibes herself as a 'baby feak'.

Her motives and influences are that she had always been intrested in babies in general.
She believes that'emotional content is an image most important element'.

She says that colour distracts the image and that black and white shows the natural beauty of it. She chooses to use black and white photography to create and get more detailed images.

I have chosen her as I am useing the theme of love and I am showing this through using my nephew. As he is a baby I though that her work would relate to my idea as she caputes babies In different ways and this could help me to gather ideas to use for my final design. The thing that inspires me is that she creates intresting images of young children or babies. She also inspires me as I luike some of her work and I think I may use an idea that she has photographed to create my final design.

My final idea is going to focous on the aspect of love partically my nephew Karter

dominick collage

 In this piece of work I was trying to achieve a response to David's Hockney's style of work of he produced of his mothers face. I also wanted to achieve a better understanding of using photoshop and also and better understanding of how to position my images to create a piece of work in the style of an artist that I have looked at being my inspiration. The aspect  of his style that I was trying to copy was the part of his mothers face and how he re sized some of the images and where he positioned them to get and effect of the two sides of the face.  I have produced this image by changing some the size of some of the images and also changing the position of some of them to produce a image like this. This relates to the theme of love as it shows someone I love.

I have learnt that using photoshop can be quiet tricky but once you get an understanding of using it you can produce some good work. I also learnt that by just having 25  images you can do a lot with the photos to create an interesting image. Another thing that I have learnt is the way that you can position you images can grabs the viewers attentions as one side of the image might be different to the other.

It has helped me to understand how important formation is when creating an image in the style of another artists work. I have also learnt that that trying to do work in another persons style could be difficult but once you get the hang of it you start to gain an understanding of what they produce and when you produce something in the same style how it looks.

I think that my photography in the style of David Hockney's work was successful as it looks like the style he has used to create the photographs of his Mothers face. I also think I was successful because I took my time and concentrated on creating and building on my photo even though at times I came to some barriers that make me want to give up.

visual response orginal images

I have taken photographs of my brother to create a response to the artist I have chosens work. I did this by going home and taking images of just his face and hair. I also did this by making him sit in the same position for about 20 minutes to make sure that my image was done in the right position. By doing this I wanted to achieve about 18 photos of him and also I wanted to achieve that they all looked kind of the same and done in the same postion.
This relates to my theme of love because its my brother and its something that I love.
from doing this I have learnt that taking images in the same postion can be quite difficult as the person may move abit. I have also learnt that images of the face can be quite detailed and intresting to capture as you can capture different emotions through the persons experssion. This has helped me to over come barries of capturing an image of the face as it has shown me that it takes take to get a image that you would be happy with

karter photo experiment

in this collage i have imerged images of my nephew and tried to make it look like david hockneys work. this was my inspiration.

I used photoshop to make my images smaller and then put them together in a way that I think that David hockneys work would be. from this I wanted to achive a piece of work that looks like Davids Hockenys style of work. this relates to my theme because he is something that I love. from doing this I have learnt that I may not beale to do this because he may not stay still for long enough for me to be able to take my images to make my final peice of work. this has helped me to see that I may not beable to use him to create this peice.
