The depth of field in this photograph is wide which could show all the details in the picture. The cat's body language shows that it's focused on what it's looking at, so it's not really engaging with the photographers presence.

This is the first print using test trips as a practice tool. We set the timer for 4x10 seconds on the enlarger. For the final print, I’ve used the timer for 20 seconds, which produced the clearest image.

Elena is known for her unique and haunting style in fine art. In her work, she often explores themes of identity, transformation, and the human experience using elements of surrealism and symbolism.

# data[].attributes.body
Elena uses a Sony A7RII with a flash and sometimes LED light. To make these structures as visible as possible, she often uses a frontal light source. Helfrecht often explores dreams, fantasies & fears in her photography and the hidden aspects of human psychology. Her purpose is to create images that resonate with the viewer on an emotional and psychological level, often delving into the darker and more complex aspects of the human experiences.

Some of her work is considered with issues related to femininity , identity and the body. Her purpose is to challenge and deconstruct conventional notions of womanhood and identity often through surreal symbolic imagery.

She finds that stripping the image of colours digs a layer deeper, and reveals a structure beneath, the interconnect fabric of reality. Her photos are often based on dreams and hold specific stories. (Høltermand, 2021)

Avedon is renowned for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. His portraits are known for their stark simplicity, often featuring subjects against plain, white backgrounds, which allowed the viewer to focus on the individual's personality and expression. He believed that a portrait should reveal the inner character of the person being photographed, rather than just their outward appearance. Avedon's portraits aimed to go beyond surface beauty and convey the subject's personality and emotions.

Richard's subjects ranged from celebrities and cultural icons to everyday people, and his portraits have an emotional depth and psychological intensity that set them apart. (The Richard Avedon)

Wilke's photography often centered on themes of female identity, sexuality, and the female body. Her work challenged societal norms and explored the complex relationship between women and their bodies, which is a response to the objectification and sexualization of the female body of how it’s seen from a males gaze. In social norms it’s known that men portray the female body as an object which impacts the way woman are seen in the media, the way woman are expected to conform to certain beauty standards but also how woman are treated in social spaces.

Hannah used her own body as a subject. In her photography, she wanted to bring attention to women's rights & the female experience, challenging viewers to reconsider their preconceived notions about femininity, the body & sexuality.
Wilke's use of gum in her work symbolized the malleability and transformation of the female body and identity. It served as a metaphor for how society often molds and shapes women's roles and expectations. (The Guggenhein Museums and foundation)

My first shooting using the equipments. The  enlarger was set from on 20,32 & 12 depending on the lighting and background.

# data[].attributes.body
In this shoot I used a black background that matched the model's aesthetic with all the details. I’ve used one light on the right side of the model which ended up creating a great result.

Shooting this task at a slow shutter speed resulted in blurry motion. The picture was taken on a camera stand so it kind of balanced the portrait frame.

# data[].attributes.body
The technique I used for this task was shallow depth of field. Camera focus was mainly on the model, so the chair next to her tended to appear a bit blurry. The blurriness would be more visible if the chair was farther away from the model.

Conflict x Freedom

In the aftermath of Israel’s invasion of Palestine, many civilians have suffered and been forced to flee their homes. There have been many deaths among family members and friends, as well as home losses. Throughout my images, I demonstrate the power of defense by civilians from different countries who have shown support through protest & boycotting, which i would say is a response to the theme of subjectity, objectivty & power. Also, i have shown some emotions in the images to illustrate how the conflict affected the civilian population. As well as the strength of children who stood confidently up to soldiers without fear. which shows their commitment to their lands.

There was a connection between freedom and experiencing a toxic environment in my first idea, but it was in a very different way but it was kind of like a similar idea since freedom had a connection with being exposed to a toxic environment, but I got stuck trying to develop my idea. I felt it was quite complicated, so I've decided to go with the idea of the conflict because it also raises awareness & demonstrates what the country is going through right now.

I had a hard time getting this double exposure image to look clear since it took so long. My image kept appearing over exposed despite using numerous test strips. I tried experimenting with different ways in until it appeared more clear but overall, the experience was good since I got a better understanding of how to use the enlarger and what to avoid.

Subjectivity :

Having a connection with the viewer.
(Viewer can relate to the image physically, mentally or even socially).

• Humanised, individualised photography
• An image as expression
• An image made to emote
• An image that comes from a biased perspective
• An image that relies on experience or feeling for meaning
• Multiple ways of reading

Objectivity :

Having no connection with the viewer.

• An image presented as fact
• An image intended to document
• An image that removes the emotions of the photographer

The distance between the nearest and furthest elements in scene that appears to be sharp in an image.

Two types of depth of field :

- Shallow
In a photograph with a shallow depth of field, only a small area in front and behind the focal plane appears to be in focus.
(Big aperture)

- Wide
In a photograph with a wide depth of field, much more of the area in front and behind the focal plane appears to also be in focus.
(Small aperture)

Francis' photography inspired me most because he was trying to bring awareness to historical injustice and human rights issues facing black people. The images and stories he captured shed light on the struggles and resilience of those affected by this symbol.

I was inspired by his idea and decided to raise awareness about the Palestinian civilians who have been suffering from the historical injustices of the conflict and human rights issues that exist today.

Through Amouzou's photography, she has been able to address the social issues impacting the millions of people who, like Amouzou, were forced to stop living in their homes as a result of political dissonance across the globe. As a way of writing without using words, she has used a self-portrait as a form of expression. Due to the fact that she was trying to expose as many of the deepest aspects of herself as she could, I was inspired the most by the fact that images can speak directly to you without you having to actually explain what they are about.

It has been suggested that some adjustments to the sequencing have been made to the child's picture. The child's picture has been positioned in the center of the picture, which has led viewers to become more engaged in the story. By placing each picture separately and from a kind of distance from the viewer, we can demonstrate to the viewer how people are supporting each other from a distance, even though they are far away from the country's borders.

Using a double exposure for the images, I was able to convey the switch of two different emotions and by having the pictures in black and white it seemed to be more fitting for the subject matter since it appeared to have a more connected image.
