Welcome to my photography blog. In this site, you will find critical analysis of my own work, photography experiments, statements, and more photographical things.
The first unit of work that we’re doing is called “Greetings of OZ”, which involves creating a still-life and postcards. This unit will give us a guide to considering the compositional aspects. Besides shooting still-life images and making postcards, we will also learn the graphic design component. With our first unit, I hope to learn to interpret subject matters well, learning the camera settings better and improving my shots. Some photographers that relate to our current unit of work includes Ori Gersht, Pieter Claesz, Laura Letinsky, Rebecca Louise Law and Michael Riley.
I began taking photographs in 2013 and my usual theme is nature, but often I’ve been
taking photos of anything that captures my eyes. I edit my images using Photoshop, such as to adjust the contrast, brightness, etc. of the image. Last year, I created an appropriation of Francisco Goya’s The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. This work was by far the most challenging work I had to do. Not only wasn’t I familiarised with Photoshop, but also creating a theme or a story that is somewhat similar to the original image.
Landscape and/or nature are the types of photography I usually enjoy because I love taking photos out in public, especially when the sun is out because the shadows are shown and most of the time, shadows often create interesting shapes. I also tend to enjoy taking close-up photos. But I also take images of things that capture my eyes. Photography just came to me. I wasn’t influenced by professional photographers or even just ordinary people. All I remember is that I was on a ferry and the scene was breathtaking, and I decided to take out my iPod and say “I’m taking a photo of this.” And that’s when it all began.
