G&G: How to create a basic Gilbert & George

G&G: Gilbert & George Research

Nick Chaffe & My own version

 Nick chaffe

Nick chaffe takes Images of people and then he adds their personality around the outside by drawing creating there ways of living how they are and what they do in there spare time.

I like this image because it shows of is personality well by using what he does in his spare time as it shows it quite clearly  he maybe likes graffiti and comics. 

This is my version of an nick chaffe image created on photoshop. I have Photoshop to create this image, i have used the path tools or its called a gradient tool, you can change the colour's of these tools by a side bar.  

Self Image: High Key Lighting Studio

In the high key lighting studio we took the photos in the style of jesper molin, shadi ghadirian and nick chaffe. This is not the studio we took the photo's in however its the same lighting. As you can see in the image the studio includes two soft boxes, and a laser light soft box where you have to insert to standard lights into it to create the background effect. 

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.
