Lo2 KTA1 Concept Description

Concept Description and Mood Boards


Concept Description

I'd like to take photos of art around Sheffield e.g. graffiti, street art, statues. I'd also like to take photos of artistic buildings e.g. the Lyceum, Crucible, Arena, Millennium Galleries, Showroom cinema, etc. Mostly use low angle shots of buildings and statues. Take photos of Crucible when dark, when building is brightly lit. Possibly get models/people involved in photos taking part in creative activities such as painting, drawing, etc. Must get their permission first and explain to them how the pictures will be used.Use a Canon camera with wide angle lens? Digital side, take photos of people working on/using devises.

Mood Boards


Below are mood boards I created when planning what to take photos of to represent Sheffield in a creative way.

Lo1 KTA1 Research

Leading Lines, Portrait photography and Wide Angle Photos.


Leading Lines


The first time I saw this picture, it was a very large, long picture on website, which you to scroll down, so you would spend ages scrolling down, following the leading lines of the road which would lead all the way down to the novelty item of a happy sheep at the bottom


This is a nice picture which someone would probably use for a calendar or as a screen saver. The leading lines are the pier which  lead to the sunset. Some people will look at this and picture themselves at the end of the pier, looking a the sunset infront of them.



Portrait Photos
Above shows a portrait photo of Che Guevara, a revolutionary leader. This famous image was taken at a memorial service by Alberto Korda. The picture was made even more famous by Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick, who re-created the image with an artistic style and colour scheme. His image was used for products such as shirts, posters, shoes, bags, etc. This is quite ironic as Che expressed his hatred for consumer culture and products that people had to pay for.

Above shows a picture of Albert Einstein. This picture has probably become popular mostly due to the historical figure in the photo and the humour, as people find it funny to see such a well respected and intelligent person doing something immature and childish like sticking their tongue out.


Above shows a photo of Princess Diana on her wedding day to Prince Charles. Diana became known as 'The people's princess', even after her and Charles divorced. Diana became a British icon, especially after her death in a car accident. Images of Diana were used for commemorative items such as cups, dishes, jumpers and tea towels.

Wide angle lens photography.


The photo below uses wide angle lens and possibly a leading line. The photo uses wide angle lens to make the buildings look taller, also using a low angle. With the angle lens it also shows the sets of buildings on both sides of the road as well as the traffic lights and shows them all clearly. So, wide angle lens can be used to get more subjects into a shot.
