Self Image: ISO

ISO

ISO is the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light. the lower the ISO number , the less sensitive it is to light while the higher the ISO number it increases the sensitivity of your camera. However the higher the ISO number the more noise(grain) is produced as shown below. In the image below we can see the difference between the two images.

Examples:

ISO 100 – 1 second
ISO 200 – 1/2 of a second.
ISO 400 – 1/4 of a second.
ISO 800 – 1/8 of a second.
ISO 1600 – 1/16 of a second.
ISO 3200 – 1/32 of a second.

Self Image: Aperture and Shutter speed

Aperture and Shutter speed

Aperture and Shutter speed are one of the most important things about photography,they can do/change a lot about your photo. The aperture is the size of the lens opening. It controls the amount of light let in: a larger aperture lets in more light, while a smaller aperture lets in less light.The image below shows how small/large the shutters open when changing the aperture.

Shutter speed is a much simpler concept to understand. It's basically how long the sensor/film in the camera is exposed to light. How long the shutter stays open depends on how much light there is.this image below shows what will happen if you have a dark image (shorter time open) and how bright it can get (longer time open).

                 

Self image: Canon 450d

      Canon d450 

We used this camera to take the following images below the camera was easy to use, i fount it quite practical as well as quite basic. Furthermore it produces a fine image even without using Photoshop. On the Canon we had to used different setting for the high key lighting studio, we had to set the camera M which is manual, also the Film speed-ISO 200 then the shutter speed was set at 1/125 and the aperture at f11. This created a better image when we used these settings.  

                                               

Self Image: My Version Of Ghadirian

My version of Shadi Ghadirain 

 

In this image i am in the style of Ghadirian, i have edited this image on photoshop the item used in this image is my phone this is because i use my phone everyday. I have held my phone in front of my face to hide my identity.
I think this image shows off my personality quite well however hiding my face makes you wonder who i really am this creates an effect of Shadi's work.

Self Image:Shadi Ghadirian

Shadi Ghadirian

Shadi Ghadirian was born in 1974 in Tehran, Iran. She is a photographer who continues to live and work in Iran. Ghadirian studied photography at Azad University. Ghadirian was inspired to make work reflecting what she saw as the duality and contradiction of life. She uses every day work objects and places them in front of her face to hide her identity.

 In these images she has used an object from day to day life to hide her own Identity, as shown she has used a broom and a glove in the other image. However this does make you think what it really is like to be Shadi Ghadirian, also how she lives knowing she uses this items for                                                                     the images.
I like the images because they are different from a normal photo you would take of someone, giving the effect of hiding your face to hide your identity, making the images a good piece of inspiring work .
