Practice Photography and More Research!

In today's lesson we continued with our research reports, researching around fine art photography and 3d art installations. This gave me a clearer visual of what I may do for my individual project; it also allowed me to add to my brainstorm.

I researched more about rules and restrictions and this lead me to religion, which is based around rules and following God. The ten commandements is their list of rules in which they choose to live their lives, so I thought it may be a good idea to research how people have photographed them. And this lead me to the 7 deadly sins.
These pictures of wrath grasped me the most:

They both represent the same word but are so different, the top one is quite literal yet still powerful because of the youthly people being so evil they have cracks in their skin. Like most fine art photography, these pictures are up for discussion and debate upon their inner meaning.
The bottom ones shows someone gripping the grapes of wrath. I don't think this picture would work in colour because the pictures purpose isn't for colour.

I considered symbols within christianity and the most obvious one was the cross, but I wanted to go deeper than than that, so I found a picture of the crucifixion and annotated it and I was drawn to the crown of thorns. Which I could make and hang the pictures from.

We then practiced taking pictures of 'control' using the black and white cameras and it gave me another chance to get use to the functions of the camera, for example changing the shutter speed in order to have a green light apear on the screen.

Next week, I would like to write out and research my rules and religion concept in detail.
