Organisms

After my visit to a animal centre, I managed to get some interesting shots of insects, reptiles and some animals. The most successful photographs were the ones of the reptiles and fish - this was because of the scales and colours.

I took these photographs to get a spectrum of different life cycles and although I feel the pieces are intriguing aesthetically and conceptually I think I may find it difficult incorporating all of them into my current practice. I have a wide collection of photographs looking at different organisms and this is diverse from my current plan of trying to hone in on a particular subject - however, I believe some of these prints will be useful for experimentation and merging with plantation to show comparisons between life processes/textures and forms. I plan to use any of the images that do not link too well as a collection that I may continue into my third year practice. I am interested in the subject I am working on as well as the techniques and development I have made so I believe they will be a useful kick-start for next year. Some of the images ( in particular the reptiles pieces) I have edited using either applying images on top of each other and merging them myself using clone tools or altered the colours/contrast etc. All the images have been touched up with photo-shop to enhance the colours, sharpen the image and reduce noise.
