LO2:planning the photograph

I would take several pictures of different thing that show sheffield creative side. E.G. people with  in sheffield who do creative things like art, music and so on. There are some buildings with in sheffield that are modern or strange. Art in gallerias. There is also a digital side of sheffield where new all new original ideas are made. There is a lot of street art in sheffield that would be a good point to start at. I would go from one topic like art then move to an other. I will be using ken bears in my pictures to show them more professional.

LO1:Practitioner input/write ups of talks

Chris Saunders 
Chris Saunder is a professional photographer who is from Sheffield. He started off by borrowing a camera from his friend to take pictures of his funny cat. After that he liked taking pictures and went to college for photography. He started going to a local bookshop to take pictures of famous writers to start to build up his portfolio but this was not for any college project it was all in his own time. He then went on to do photography at university but he do not do very well.   

He said that 90% of his work is portraits he never said what the other 10% was.
The first person he talked about was Daivid Lynch. Daivid Linch is a famous director. Chris Saunder sent a letter asking him if the next time he goes to the United Kingdom if he could take his picture. He then got a replay saying yes but they cannot see him coming to the United Kingdom in the next couple of years. He then sent the same letter back every year after but all ways got the same respones. But eight year latter they said that he will be in the Unied Kingdom for a couple of days and could have half an hour with him. When the day came Daivid Lynch was late and Chris Saunder  could only have five minuets of his time and this is what he got.





 



After he was done talking about Daivid Lynch he then went on to talk a little about what typ of person is best to photograph is some one who whats to be photographed some one who is the right state of mind for it.


He then started talking about a man named Mike Lee he wnt on about how every thing went wrong for that photoshot. The light that he tested the day be for stoped working on the the day of shotting and that he forgot his reflective sheet then he had to go to the corner shop to go get tin foil to use.

Here is a list of band he has tuck photos of.
1. 65 Days of Static 
2.CoCo Clocks
3. Wet  Nun
4. John Maclow
5. Heavily Pregnant Brothers
6. The Gentlemen
7. Dizzy Rascal
8. Flaming Lips

He allso said that he all so did a lot of pictures for a magazine called the sandman that is no longer running.

He all so like to use photoshop in some of his work but like to make it look like that he has not used it at all as he said some of his worjk has a lot of work done on it on photoshop and some has a little and other have none at all.

There was 20 people in his class at university it was not as popular as it is known.
He did lots of extra training.
He had worked at lots of different when he was at university like toy shop, hotel, bar, shelf stacking.
Having done all this is makes it a good base because he knows how to tell people what to do and how he what’s it.
He worked at hotels where he got lot of work long hours and not a lot of money. He then worked at a different hotel where he got lots of money.
He planned out a lot of events like just to come in and sit down watch a football match to a fancy dress at Halloween.
He did not like working in shifts so he sent out his C.V to get a new job saying that he would not work shifts.
He has done lots of jobs even if he did not like them.

Land scape pictures are A long shot of some sort of naturel or man made structure. It can all so be of the sea, sky and a couple of other things.   




I like this picture of A  desert with mountains because of how he has got the maintains in the picture and the very ashen in colours.

This leading line follows the track 

This leading line makes you look at the for ground to the back ground

Lo1: camera terms

ECU: extreme close up
CU: Close up
MCU: mid close up
MS: mid shot
WS: wide shot
EWS: extreme wide shot
LA: low angle
HA: high angle

Lo1:wide angle lens pictures

I think the person who tuck the photo used a wide angle lens to fit all of the building in.
 I can easily tell that this picture was tuck with a wide angle lens because all of the building
has a len to it.

Lo1:my photoshoped picture

I think that photo shop made my picture look better as all the imperfections could be taken out.
I did have a problem with the lighting as when one part looked good an other part did not. The picture that I used was good as it was perfect lee in focus.
