experimentation research

The image above is from a series of images i am creating,this demonstrates the use of technique and experimentation .I found when using Polaroid that sometimes film was developing rather lighter than i anticipated even with the flash of there is still an automatic flash on the camera which is not avoidable.So i began experimenting with the idea that covering the flash may solve this particular problem. This was the first attempt and was not what i expected but more notably more of a exciting breakthrough. Although this image is still rather dark in gave me the creative idea to carry using this method to explore different outcomes, which will be followed up in future posts.The image above has a disorientate figure barely visibly which only emphasis on studied more intently that the intriguing part about this experiment the outcome makes you study the image rather simply just view it.

comaparing primary research with use of film and digital

The above images are of similar content yet the top was taken using digital while the bottom photo was produced using Polaroid film.Although of a similar format the two images demonstrate that they couldn't be more divergent from one another. Experimenting this way when documentation my work gave me the ability to see the different qualities each possessed .Also which of the two worked better in relation with the series of images i plan to produce.

I personally feel that the Polaroid film gave a better outcome than the digital in terms of lighting and composition. The subject matter in the Polaroid is being made clear that this is objective matter ,with its central placement with little background to be displayed.Where as the digital image has a very different layout with more space in the foreground that the subject matter which in this particular case does not work well , even though the subject matter is evidently clear i feel is drowned out by the  the white background.The lighting in the Polaroid is desirably better with is softened edges display more of a subtle image.
