Out of College Photography.

Maria Allen - Lo Fi Zine. Finished

Idea 1. Headingly Uni.

These are just random test shots of the place I call home :)

My student accommodation at Headingly Uni that I share with my partner.

So i ended up changing my idea because of complications.

My new idea is to take pictures of my room that i have at my mums.

i spend pretty much most of my time there so its quite fitting.

preferably, b + w macro.

These are pictures of what i think of when i think of my room.

These are examples of photographers from Google. 

These are like what I want to do but in black and white,

especially the ones of the animals because my dog is pretty much my life.

Contact sheet from my final shoot.

Final edits.

Final edit Mock Zine

After mocking all this up I decided my images weren't that strong, So i decided on doing my Dolls house in macro and room scape.

These are mock shots for my final shots I am hoping to move the house so photographing wise it is more 

accessible, then I am going to try get the lights to work for some slow shutter photography.

I wanted to take macro and fish eye shots of the furniture and get as much images of the detail as i can.

For my actual book I am not wanting to use any text I am wanting to just have a title and my name on the front cover that is all, I am going to have my lay out as 2 ribbons binding together I am going to buy some colourful ribbons so i can have different colours for each ribbon.

Final Images.

Using my macro lens I got this warped and distort affect on the clock and I just like how It worked out of focus.

I think this image could of done with better placement for its background.

I think the fish eye made this image look really nice because you have all the nice detail with out stretching the image too much.

I really like this image mainly for its depth of field but i think the composition of the pans work really well too.

I think this image stands out from the rest because its not internal like the others so its external and i think its quite out of the pattern and I'm not certain I like that idea.

I think these images worked really well because the black and white gave them a really nice old fashioned affect and the fish gave them more detail with out distorting the image all together. If I could change the image in anyway it would be that I would of done some long exposure pictures of the lights switched on but unfortunately one of the wires had frayed so they wouldn't switch on. But i would of also waited until the house was finished but I didn't have 6 years for my mum to finish it.

These are some examples of Zines I built in the past:

(Did these through photobox).

I have done portrait and landscape pictures so that when you look through you tilt your head as you go.

My final book 

Evaluation.

I really think my book went well i think the idea of using a dolls house as a home was a unique idea, the dolls house is pretty much a home in my house, because we've lived in loads of different places shut in every house we've had that dolls house was always there, my mum began to build it when she was pregnant with me and she built most things herself, so it has a lot of sentiment to me. If i had to change anything on this it would probably be that i would have tried to get the house finished totally finished and have the house lights working so i could have done slow exposure pictures also i would have tried to get better lighting for the images.
