The 'Perspectives' exhibition took place at Uclan university located in Preston town centre. In the university there where an exhibition floor with metal railings going along the walls. The frames sat on the metal railings on the wall on metal hangers.
Where the images where put tried to complement each other. For instance my image was a fairly dark and low lighting images and that was in the middle of two very bright and colourful images. The images all complemented each other.
This is the layout of my group of images. I believe this works well with complementing each other's images. Also the two surrounding images are in landscape and mine is in portrait.
I didn't like my final image because of how grainy and noisy it was. I know that this is because of the lighting and iso I was using. The iso was at 800-1000 depending on the shot. The lighting was continuous. I did this because I wanted to keep all the detail of the freckles and that using flash would blow out some of the detail of the skin.
This is the image that was used for the exhibition. I like the image as an idea but it could have been a lot better due to the grain. Thankfully some of the detail is still there but not all that could be, again due to the high iso the image is slightly softer too. If I was to do this shoot again I would have used a flash, maybe a harsh flash or a reflector just to add a bit more light and bring down the iso more. Overall I do think it is a good image I just don't like how it came out, it could have been better with the detail and other aspects of the image. Essentially this is the raw untouched image, no sharpening or touching up. The only edits in the image is just processing the raw file into a jpeg
The images that where used here I really enjoy looking at. I especially like the left image because of the pureness and simplicity of the image. I like the composition and how innocent with the leaf it almost makes the image look playful but with a quite contrasting facial expression. It could have a little more head room just to add a little more framing to the image.
The image on the right works really well with the composition in that it has looking room and the facial expression is that of wonder and content. She looks like she's looking into this blank space wondering about something or is in deep thought. The lighting works really well and I think it looks great.
Overall I really enjoyed this project and the exhibition considering the time scale we had and the little amount of preparation we had for the exhibition.
