20 Photographs

These are photographs that I took of shells and one of the rock on the crystal. My focus for these photographs was colour and texture as I am mainly focusing on the use of colour and texture in my work with my artists at the moment. They are all close-up shots of the subjects to focus on their colours rather than the objects themselves.

 I chose this photograph because I loved how focused it is on the inside of the shell to reveal all of the beautiful colours in the shell, the colours in this shell are very warm colours and are like the sunset and I think that I managed to catch them in the light beautifully to really make them more vibrant.

 I chose this image because the colours and the pattern of the shell reminded me a lot of my artist Karen Hansen, and I think I have managed to recreate her style in this photo.

 I really liked the varying tones of pink in this shell, and whilst the picture itself isn't clear I think it was very successful in capturing the different tones and shades of pink.

 I chose this image for the beautiful orange/brown colours in the shell.

 This is the photograph of the rock on the crystal which I took because I liked the purples and oranges in it because they reminded me of the sunset and I wanted to try and capture these colours closely in my photograph.

 I loved the pattern of the shell and how the camera lense has given in an almost underwater effect which is why I chose this image.

 I chose this one for the beautiful colours and the resemblance to my artist Karen Hansen.

 I chose this picture because I loved the beautiful orange in the inner shell that really contrasts with the outer shell which itself is mainly white with some very light orange tones.

 I chose this image because it managed to captured the pearl like colour/texture on the inside of the shell and the light reflecting off of it helps you to see that. I also love how the rest of the shell has blurred together so you just see more the colours of the shell rather than the patter and texture.

I chose this photo because I think that it shows the texture of the shell really well.
