Projection photography

I had lots of fun in class yesterday  trying out different things for our new unit location photography. I wanted to find a photographer that projects images onto the body, i came across Mike crawley, here is one of his amazing images.

 

Me and my lovely friend hope 

started off by setting up the backdrop, we turned 2 tables upside down and placed a white sheet over the tables and darkend out the room.

We then used a small projector that i borrowed from the college and projected certain images that i wanted onto the backdrop, i used a white sheet and a dark navy sheet to project onto.

 

i started playing around with different images and projected them onto myself, i wore a white top  which made the images show clear, when using the white backdrop i found out that most images that were dark  showed up more clear, and when i used a dark backdrop lighter colours obviousy showed up more clear but not as well as i hoped. My friend hope took the pictures.

 

instead of just projecting images onto my clothes, i wanted to use my skin and use my body as a canvas to see how the images turned out on my body. i found out that the images projected onto my skin were so much more clear and vibrant, here is what i came up with.

 when i come to doing these images again, i am hoping to portray the beauty of the female form without the use of sexualisation. I would like to use my body as a canvas to show my/women problems and insecurites through a group of images.

Silly selfies

we were shown this picture of 8 victorians on 28th of september in class, and were asked to imitate and make our own silly selfies.
This is what i came up with...
