Independent shoot 1
The focus of this shoot was to create images that focus on the formal elements of tone , line and form.
I was inspired by Ansel Adams and his technique of the zone systems to create a large tonal range in order to bring a sense of surrealism to my images. his techniques of filters and exposure times give a sense of godliness landscape and object photography due to the tonal range and framing. His images portray mountains as large stone golems that are the guardians and the overseers of the natural world. I will similarly attempt to use techniques that transform once functional aircraft into the warriors and saviours of the sky.
I decide to do this by composing my shoot predominantly of aircraft and an aviation theme as I feel these machines are exquisite examples of line and form. by further converting the images that i have taken into black and white I will therefore be able to achieve the desired effect of those tree chosen elements that I will capture as a part of aviation.
the shoot was conducted at RAF Duxford near Cambridge which was once a fully functioning RAF base and now serves a purpose as a recreation airfield with a new link to the imperial war museum where planes are kept to educate people on aviation of all sorts and showcase these engineering marvels to the public.
The camera settings all vary due to differences in light when moving from hanger to hanger. in areas of these images I have used the doing and burning technique in Photoshop to allow the shadows and highlights to be more pronounced allowing me to create the large tonal range even if it wasn't already present with the converted image.
The series of images was taken over a day in various parts of the workshops and museums. My aim was to use the lights placed high in the hanger to help bring out the form in black and white images as a result of the highlights and shadows.
