Some one I know

This picture was taken in last weekend, she is my friend in Lincoln. It was the first time she went to Lincoln Cathedral, she likes been taken so when she walked on the road I was taken this picture for her.

This picture was been shot in my bedroom, I was changed the picture into black and white colour, because I think black and white looks more suitable for her post.

In this picture, my friend was wear her nightclothes, the background is bedroom, and she was site on my bed, so I want pictures looks as lovely as possible, then I open my light, to made picture’s color so warm, and she also gave me a smile, its really looks so sweet.

She is my another one friend in Lincoln, I was taken this picture in last week. I just think when she wear her hat and bowed her head is can been go on record by my camera. It also will be a first picture about Lincoln’s winter between us. I was changed the pictures color into black and white, because I think this color more suitable for winter.

Strangers

This picture was been taken at the first time I went to London from the Thames bank, I just saw the tourist who looks like Asian, so I taken a photo for her. I can remember I was saw the photographer who name is Hideki Hamada’s photos, in his pictures he always show lots of children’s back shadow, he think people’s shadow also can show their experiences and stories.

1.Manny Librodo

His pictures recorded stories. His photochrome brightly painted, and his black-and-white photograph has strong contrast.

What I learned:

One successful photo not only depends on the person how beautiful or handsome, but also depends on the expression of emotion, and we also can use strong contrast to show the strong visual impact.

2.Rinko Kawauchi : I want to find something beyond pictures.

She is a famous female photographer from Japan, she was good at using photos to show the little things from daily life, she also good at portrait photography. She said:” photography is not just printing, but the photographer’s unique perspective to capture moments.”

What I learned:

Every picture can tell the stories, when I saw her pictures I can feel about peacefully. And she used low saturation in her works. Makes color brightness and not dull monotonous to show the conception.

3.Hideaki Hamada

He is a famous photographer in Japan, he is good at portrait and everything which is refined in the nature. His portrait works mainly shoot children. He said:” Children’s behavior and movement always make me let myself go.” His inspirations are behavior and manner. He thinks humanity makes him feel exciting.

What I learn:

We need to keep objective view to shoot every photos, do not get too close and also do not too far from people, we just need to observe their movement. And the other important point is people’s background also can show their experiences and stories, even more interesting compared to their face.

4.Richard Avedon

He was shot lots of famous person, but he also likes to shoot average men and women, in his camera, people need to show their truth. He is good at black-and-white photography, he is very focus on face, poses and definition.

What I learn:

When we take pictures we need pay more attention on the details, and we can make people show their true face, maybe they do not need delicate make up and caparison, also can make photo get enrich.

Still life

My favorite pictures of still life also from Japaness photographer Rinko Kawauchi, when I saw her images I can feel peaceful.

Those two pictures are about flowers, they has been shot in spring, which was shot when my families and I had an outing this spring. I think I won’t have more time to see the flowers in my hometown. Those flowers were the most beautiful in my mind.

The left one : Home is where have my families and have lots of great memories with my families. My families and I went to Qingdao every vocation. Those two pictures were being shot when I went to Qingdao to take the IELTS examination for I come to the UK. Qingdao at last my second home in China.

The right one: This picture was when celebrating “the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival” with my friends in Lincoln.During the “Mid-Autumn Festival” sons and daughters come back to their home and celebrate this festival with their families. Sometimes people who have settled overseas will return to visit their families. But this year I cannot come back China to celebrates with my families. This Festival made me homesick.

Home is when you come back, you will discover the best place in the world is where you were born.

Bathroom and Kitchen in my Lincoln’s house. My daily life. I wanted to use  laundry detergents, kitchen cleaners,  soap box etc. to show my daily lives. I wanted to make them looks different but also can be shown usual. Because those things we need to use and can see everyday.

I wanted to use light to make those pictures as warm as possible. Because I thinks home can make people feel safe and make people comfortable.

I wanted use common things to show home is a lovely place.

Homesick.

In this module I was use some common things in my daily life. The first picture is key chain, I choose one which is from University of Lincoln, the second one is three paper clips, the third one is withered flowers. I putted them on a piece of green  paper, because I wanted them looks more obviously. I also used different scenes to make paper had different colors.

This three pictures by travel photographer Steve McCurry. He famous for “Afgham Girl” and this three images title is “Indian Railways”, this pictures are mainly recorded indian’s transportation. In this images we can see it were look busy, even lots of people hop on set in motion’s train, although its very dangerous. This images can reflect Indian people have a hard time in their daily lives.

The reason i choice this pictures is when i saw them i will think about Chinese transportation and UK’s transportation. China always being busy even China have high speed rail and traffic developed, so that i am very surprised how quiet stations are here. I have changed the color from original to black and white, the reason why I changed the color because I want them to look like they are from a long time ago, when trains were not such a popular way to travel.

Steve McCurry ‘ images also perfect reflect the cultural connotation, for reflex train station’s passengers’ daily lives, he have to hovered on the railway platform everyday and when the train draw up at a station he have to through the crowd and baggages to take scene.
