MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES.

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES.


Double Exposure:
  •  I could potentially use this technique of editing my photographic prints to compare and contrast two different environments or areas within two different societies and how areas are constantly changing due to the construction, deconstruction, community usage and damages etc.
  • The use of this technique would also cause the photographs of the city and street environments within our society to look grittier and dirtier which could be good to emphasize certain misuses of the societies that we live in and how we as a community could help to change this. 
  • Show the similarities and differences between two different areas of our society - relating to human impact, both positive and negative. 
  • This could also help to create a impactful leading line of focus within my photographic responses to this project, regarding the themes of society.
  • Artists I could research in regards to this technique are - Daniella Zalcman and Jasper James. 

Monochrome and Selective Colouring:
  •  I could potentially use this technique to create gritty and atmospheric street and city photographs to emphasize the negative side of human impact within the societies that we live in such as construction, dirt, graffiti, litter, loss of animals and wildlife. 
  • This technique could also be combined with selective colouring to highlight or emphasize specific areas that I would like my target audience to focus on whilst viewing my work, the colours would be muted but still bright enough to draw attention - paint, ink or digital colouring. 
  • Artists I could research in regards to this technique are - Fabienne Rivory, Maurizio Anzeri and Mauren Brodbeck. 

Liquid Emulsion and Darkroom Prints:
  •  Using this technique within my photographic responses to theme of 'Society' would create and emphasize gritty urban landscapes and city or streets views of the different societies that we all live in - relating to human impact and the negative we have on where we live. 
  • The dark contrast and grain of using a film camera would be a design choice that would also help to emphasize and make the photographs look dirtier and grittier.
  • Artists I could research in regards to this technique are - Sigmar Polke, Ansel Adams and Bill Brandt.
