Kimberly Wallingford- Final Project

Feelings About Leaving
     For my project, I chose to do two serials of photos.  The first is a serial of headshots.  All of the individuals are students studying abroad at the University of Stirling from the United States.  For the second serial, I asked each individual to write a word on their hand that described how they were feeling about the study abroad program coming to an end and leaving Scotland.  The images in the two serials are in different orders to make the viewer think about which person goes with which hand.  The purpose of this collection was to demonstrate that there are many different emotions that can be felt towards the same event.  To break up each serial, I chose to have the last picture be slightly different from the rest.

Kailin Cannon: Pictorialist Midterm

My pictorialist images were created through a sunglasses lens, a piece of plastic smeared with lipstick, and a green piece of glass as well as several pieces of clear tape stuck together and folded over each other.

The outside of Hamilton Mausoleum, shot through a green piece of glass.

An alternate image of the outside of the Mausoleum, this time using a piece of plastic wrap that was smeared with pink lipstick.

The inside of the mausoleum, shot through green glass.

Another image of the inside of the mausoleum, this time through a pale lipgloss on plastic wrap

An image of the inside of the mausoleum shot through a clear-er spot in the plastic wrap in between the pink lipstick and the lip gloss.

Kellie Kuzmuk: Pictoralist Photography Assignment

  Image 1: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Chatelherault in Hamilton, Scotland Hallway leading to Duchess’s waiting room Filter: plastic wrap with hole Caption: Repetition, although not exact, is created through the reflection of the light in the glass casing.  Where the light shines in the wall coincides with the hole in the plastic wrap so it is an exact light but the plastic goes over the light that shines outward form the wall, giving the photograph an interesting and unrealistic atmosphere, which is characteristic of pictoralist photography.

Image 2: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Outside the Hamilton Mausoleum

 Filter: plastic wrap Caption: The tree line and steps create the internal framing for the photograph and the tonal contrast between the sky, ground, and tree line divides it into thirds.  The steps lead the eye from left to right to the person in the photograph, although this figure is not the main focus.  Like other pictoralist photographs, the figure is meant to be ambiguous, facing away from the camera and far away.   Additionally the artificial light present in this outdoor setting is not illuminated and unlike the other photographs I have chosen, not the main focus of the picture.

Image 3: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Chatelherault in Hamilton, Scotland; Banqueting Room Filter: mesh from orange container Caption:  The red coloring of the photograph seems out of place and smeared over the light, as if a mistake or spilt paint from a painter.  The photograph also displays the intricate plaster work of the ceiling, which is meant to be subdued by the mesh.  Also the red cover the image of Bacchus, the go of wine, which is meant to display pictoralist photographer’s portrayal of history and symbolism in their photographs as a painter would do in paintings.  The red color was also chosen to reinforce the symbol of wine.

Image 4: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Chatelherault in Hamilton, Scotland; Banqueting Room Filter: Green openwork scarf Caption:  This image was captured to emphasize the materialization of pictoralist photography.  The focus is the three light bulbs, one of which is cropped to lead the eye down to the gold metal work. 

Image 5: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Chatelherault in Hamilton, Scotland Filter: Side of a body wash bottle Caption:  The plastic blur the image into a soft, romantic light.  The banding the bends in the plastic creates makes the image look surreal.  

Image 6: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Chatelherault in Hamilton, Scotland, Duchess’s Waiting Room Filter: sheer shirt Caption:  This image depicts natural light shining through the arched and two matching windows into the empty space of the room, revealing an almost smoky atmosphere. 

Image 7: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Inside the Hamilton Mausoleum, Scotland Filter: plastic wrap Caption:  The plastic wrap has a very subtle effect over the mage, just softening it slightly.  The natural light reflecting off the floor juxtaposes the symbol of the sun on the dark floor.  In the center of the sun, the natural light leads the eye right to the feet of a figure standing in the center, a figure cropped without a face, whose identity is unknown.  The other 2 sets of feet on the floor offer repetition.

Image 8: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Inside the Hamilton Mausoleum, Scotland Filter: plastic wrap Caption: the candles on top of the sarcophagus casing draw the viewer from the largest figure in front, to the light in the back corner of the photograph.  The letter from the name “Alexander” is present in the photograph, drawing on pictoralist photography’s emphasis on history. 

Image 9: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Inside the Hamilton Mausoleum, Scotland Filter: plastic wrap Caption: The image was selected to emphasis pictoralism’s focus on light and shadows.  The figures standing cast shadows on the floor that obscures the natural light coming in the door.  The eye is redirected to the top of the photograph, the direction in which all the feet are uniformly facing. 

Image 10: Date: 29/06/12 Location: Inside the crypt at the Hamilton Mausoleum, Scotland Filter: plastic wrap, folded over twice Caption: The reflection from the plastic wrap whitewashed the photograph, highlighting the dark squares where the bodies lie.  The focus is the brightened point, the rounded edge, that is only half shown in the photograph.  This point lacks the most detail so the first detail view’s encounter and the lights protruding from the brightest point. 

Jordan Dorsey: Pictorialist Project

My Picorialist photos were composed with the use of a glass bottle filter.  Other filters were used in photographing the Chatelherault Hunting Lodge and the Hamilton Mausoleum, such as plastics, clothing, etc.; however, for composition purposes only the glass bottle photographs are exhibited in this project.

This photo was taken in the Chatelherault Hunting Lodge of our tour guide after he explained the significance of the upper apartments (shot through brown glass). 

This photo was taken in the Chatelherault Hunting Lodge of a classmate sitting in a chair in front of a window facing the Hamilton Mausoleum (shot through a brown glass bottle).

Samantha Parke: Midterm

For my filters I used serveral silk shirts (red, green, pink, and white) as well as a filter function on my camera.

Hunting Lodge Window: Shot through a red shirt.

Giving it soft focus and less saturation.

Hunting Lodge Window: Shot through a green shirt.

Giving it soft focus and less saturation.

(If you look closely the reflection of candles is present in both window shots.)
