Shooting

While shooting I decided to experiment with my theme portraying body elements I considered trying out a silhouette,as a way of portrayal.Although silhouettes can be pleasing to the eye ,I didn't feel like it portrayed the structure of  body form with the body being drowned out with harsh lighting 

dark room experimentation

With the inspiration of man rays solarization with film ,I thought I would heighten my research in terms of conducting an experiment.I took four images of my selected six and developed them in the darkroom as I had done previous ,printing my final images only this time mid developing switch the white light on to expose the developing product to the light.The results are as above,I'm extremely happy with outcome as the process can be unpredictable.

Final images

 

     

 

These are my choosen final six for my 

Minor project elements of the body.I believe these photos are crucial to the theme and highlight a small portion of the struture of the human form.I feel the studio lighting helped heighten the intensity and emphasis each chosen structure of choice in each photograph.

I find this image aspiring in terms of how to really challenge ones self rather than shooting the subject alone adding extra factors .In my topic of choice I choose to use harsh lighting to emphasis bone structure and delves.Where as  I think if I had chosen something along the lines of these images using projection it may not have captured the structure as I intended but could of layered over the images creating an intense atmosphere.
