Final Project

 Echoes Of Yesterday









My final project is a photo documentary of Mckenzie where Bethel is located. The photos are shot in colour to keep the feel of the town as accurate as possible. The photos are framed landscape to capture a full view of the area. These photos aim encapsulate the past and current of the town. It is a place that has historical value and I show its value through my photography. It is a place where I find myself after 18 years living in Australia and I want to explore the place I now reside through my photography.

In my work I aim to capture the veins and roots of this small town through the lens of my camera. Finding the beauty and history in the small details and the values of the larger ones. I want the viewer to see that this is more than just a small town but a place where many call home and have a deep connection too. Whether capturing the modern landscape or finding historical sites, my aim was to capture every important detail through my photographs.

This series of photos encapsulates some of the architecture and scenery found in Mckenzie. From a relatively busy town to a quiet and run down town. As you walk the streets of Mckenzie and pay attention you can see the former shell of what it once was, with old florist carts to signs still advertising past businesses. These photos display some of the towns new features still mixed with the old architecture.

Assignment 3 Portraits

Image
In these portraits I worked with 2 models, each sporting different clothing choices. The first model donned a Portugal football top leaning into an athleisure style. The second model is wearing a brightly colored jacket and black undershirt. These clothing choices helped my theme which was different types of fashion which they portrayed. The brightly colored clothes helped add some flair and catch attention especially as I used a plain white background to help achieve this.

Assignment 2 Check-In

Image
This photo, similar to DOF 1, aims to us an external object as a frame with the subject centered and in focus. However, this image is my least favorite as it was used with digital crop zoom on a wide-angle lens therefore resulting in lower image resolution and quality. (DOF 2) In this photo I tried to frame the persons head in the outline of the goal net. I got the goal net out of focus creating a blurred effect and shallow depth of field with a small F stop number. (DOF 1)   In this photo I took of someone kicking a ball. I set a high shutter speed in order to freeze motion. I achieved this well but there is a slight distortion in the kicking foot. (MOTION 1)
