To photograph in the style of Thomas Allen:I will photograph card cut outs coming out the book. Instead of using people cut outs, I will use trees and buildings. Thomas Allen photographs in a studio, instead I will photograph out doors amongst the nature.

What worked? My paper cut outs turned out really nicely in the photos. The time I shot had beautiful lighting that worked really well in my images. From the artist model my own ideas morphed and changed which is good.

What didn't, how could this be improved? The paper cut outs although they looked good were really hard to place in the books and to stay standing up. With the cut outs it was hard to not make my images repetitive. Some of my images came out blurry because I was so concerned about the pages flipping over that I did not slow down and stay still while I shot.

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea? Next time I would photograph the building cutouts in the book with buildings in the background, that way I could look more into to architecture if I wanted to. I would also look more into shadows and light because I played around with my placement to get the lighting form the sun.

To photograph in the style of Abelardo Morell I will use shutter speed to catch movement. Instead of using hands on the book, I will use plants so that it relates better to my prior shoot.

What worked? I captured the movement of the plants well. This extended into other ideas, I looked into a model. I captured the hands of the model like Abelardo Morell although had them still instead of moving.

What didn't, how could this be improved? My shoot has a lot of repetition, I took too many photos that look quite similar. Some of the photos had very bad lighting and came out over exposed a little.

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea? To further extend my idea I would look more into the silhouette shape that I captured in my photos and experiment with different ways of showing silhouettes. Like cutting a silhouette out of one of my images and having words underneath. I would also look into more of his photography because he has a wide range of different ideas.

Ideas

To photograph in the style of Abelardo Morell I will use books as my props, as well as using plants to relate the shoot to my other shoots. I will use a macro lens to get close up photos of the words.

What worked? The macro lens worked really well. I extended my ideas well, from inspiration from the artist model.

What didn't, how could this be improved? The photos came out either over exposed or under exposed, this was because I was experimenting with the different lights. Some photos came out blurry because I did not have a steady hand.

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea? If I were to do this shoot again I would focus on having a steady hand and I would make the zoomed in words more purposeful.

To photograph in the style of Amy Friend, I will print out photos of my work and I will poke holes in them, to have the light shining through. Amy tends to use photographs of people, where as I will use photos of plants, fire and books.

What worked? The light pad worked really well in producing light through the holes. My photo with the leaf worked the best because it had an abundance of holes where the light could shine through.

What didn't, how could this be improved? The process of poking holes often took a long time, and was not always effective with every image.

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea? If I were to do this shoot again I would experiment with more images, as well as more different sized holes.
