Final Images, maybe, possibly....

So I went into the studio on Thursday with the intention of it being my last time in regards to my Reflections Photography project . My goal for the shoot was to have 10 usable images, so I took 10 books with me but for some reason I have only have 8 different books in my images - I remember using all 10 books however I'm beginning to think that some of them were rather similar hence why to me now they all look the same.

That confusion aside, I now have 8 usable images that I'm going to review with Leah tomorrow which will hopefully become my final project.

I do have some favourites out of the 8, 4 I'm pretty sold on, 2 I'm torn on and 2 I'm not too keen on although that could be due to me editing them in a weird way (they look quite different to the others, I think I missed out a step somewhere along the line!)

Favourites:

I have other versions of this picture that would edit better in my eyes, I just haven't got around to re-editing just yet. 

2 I'm torn between:

I really like this one because of it's obvious difference from the other books, I think the size gives it a very different structure and presence. However I think the post-it notes getting lost in the image isn't as ascetically pleasing as the others.

I was really looking forward to shooting this book, it's a notebook I've had for years and only just got around to writing in when I came to University. I thought the mirrored edge would be a great visual effect, I didn't however click on to the fact that you would see me as the photographer mirrored in the notebook. 

The final two:

This is a very small book on bugs I took out of the library with the hope of using extra large post-it notes in, when I was shooting however the post-it notes I had with me just didn't look right when I was shooting so I stuck the smaller arrows I had with me. If I went back and re-edited the image I'm sure I could find a way for it be more interesting but for now I'm not to sure on it being a part of my final presentation.

 

In this image in particular I think the image is just a bit boring, I was trying to go for a standard organised look but that combined with the build of the book has lead to a rather lack-luster image.  Although as I said for the last image I could probably re-edit the image to be a bit brighter and a bit more entertaining if needed.

But that is what I've been working on all week, I spent my Wednesday in the library with people giving me funny looks as I just walked around looking for interesting and diverse books - you don't get a lot of variety in academic libraries or local charity shops apparently, but I tried.
