PROJECTED PHOTO

Very interesting and creative projected work which can be used as an example for my ANOTHER SKIN project.

NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial light and using a long exposure, exposing the scene for seconds, minutes, and even hours in order to give the film or digital sensor enough time to capture a usable image.

In the early 1900s, a few notable photographers, Alfred Stieglitz and William Fraser, began working at night.

The first photographers known to have produced large bodies of work at night were Brassai and Bill Brandt.

With the progress of high-speed films, higher-sensitivity digital image sensors, wide-aperture lenses, and the ever-greater power of urban lights, night photography is increasingly possible using available light.

I made some pictures during the night in Enfield using long exposure and natural light. That's what I have.















Some of the images look better in black and white. It clearly shows the contrast between these two colours which makes the picture not only look dramaticly more interesting but also strictly otlines the shapes and boarders between black and white. This makes you to look and understand image differently.

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

Fashion photography is a genre of photography devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items. Fashion photography is most often conducted for advertisements or fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, or Elle. Over time, fashion photography has developed its own aesthetic in which the clothes and fashions are enhanced by the presence of exotic locations or accessories.
Some interesting work of classic and now days photographers.

Fashion is one of the themes which I could use for my Another Skin project. Through making images I could show the difference between classic and now days fashion photography.
