Due to your self isolating you have fallen behind with the content of the course. Your first photoshoot has been well captured and shows a good link to your chosen artist. Make sure that you have detailed and thorough annotation and analysis of your chosen artist (AO1/AO3) to meet all success criteria.
Capture your redraft shoot in class with me to support your development. Answer the questions below to support your analysis of Petra Collins:
1. Basic Information
The name of the photographer - What country are they from? (This is important as it puts the work into context)
The name and date of the series that you are interested in
The name and date of any images you choose from the series to analyse
What is the image/series about? (This could be researched or your own opinion)
2. Visual Qualities (select one photo to write about in detail)
What does the photograph show?
What is the main focus/ where is your eye drawn to?
What do you like about the image?
What composition style have they used? leading lines, framing, the rule of thirds...etc
How have they used the lighting in the image? If they have used people in their photos can you read any body or facial language?
Can you talk about any of the formal elements that are shown? Line, Colour, Shape, Form, Texture, Pattern, Tone...
How has the artist achieved the meaning, concept or message in the image?
What techniques has the artist used to create the meaning/concept or message?
3. Camera Settings
Where have they focused the camera?
Discuss the aperture settings used?
Shallow/long depth of field What shutter speed do you think they have they used?
4. Relate to your own work
This is VERY important so do not leave it out! By answering this question you will be explaining to the examiner just how you intend to use this investigation work to inspire your own work.
How will you be influenced by this photographers work when planning and taking your own photos?

Grade: 6 (aim for a 7!)
Laven, you have produced some excellent work this term and I'm very impressed with your progress in your ability to record and capture imagery and then edit this imagery to demonstrate your intentions.
To refine your portfolio, over the half term, print your images and place them underwater and recapture. Your flower photographs demonstrate a moderate ability and I want to bring this up to consistent, if not highly developed. This is an exemplar portfolio experimenting with both colour, floral imagery and water to help you with your development: http://mabelsalkeldharmonyanddiscord.weebly.com/expired-film-study.html

Beautifully presented website Laven. I'm really impressed with how thorough your photoshoot plans are and your understanding of the technical aspects to photoshop. Your ability to experiment (without over editing your work) is impressive and demonstrates a highly developed understanding to record. Focus on your AO2 experimentation, trying out different skills and techniques in photoshop to refine your work and ultimately, make progress.
Targets:
Double expose redraft photoshoot for 1st artist with annotation (9 - 12)
Images to reference for photoshoot plan 2 (artist 2)
Experiment with gradient for artist 2 redraft (9)
Level: 6 (consistent ability/highly developed)
