Work Diary:
In this photography session, we were asked to go out and photograph the topic patterns. This included finding anything that included repetition, for example, the tiles on a floor that followed a certain pattern to ensure they fit. This could also have been the a repetition of colour or of an object that created a form of pattern. To begin with, I found Pattern to be fun, interesting and a completely different take on what I before believed to be photography. This being said, it was still challenging finding patterns and making them look as good as they did in real life. One of my favourite photos from the shoot was this one:
I prefer this photo to the rest of them because I feel the term 'pattern' is explored differently. Pattern is displayed many ways in this photo, the slats that make up the building can be seen as a pattern as they are continued through the entire shot. However for me, the main focal point is in the windows. Each window between the bold green posts follows the same style and therefore is a less obvious pattern. This photo enables the mind of the viewer to focus and distinguish their own choice of pattern. I also like the way that colour enhances this as the bright green is attractive, bringing the eye closer to the centre of the photo. This photo is full of vertical patterns and therefore it is one of my favourites from the shot. On the other hand, a photo I did not like so much was this one:
I didn't particularly like this photo as I did not think it suited the topic pattern as much. It is not very obvious, and the focal point is not as strong to due it being so enlarged. It blends into the background and there is not a clear line between which is the pattern.
Progression:
If I was to continue with the topic pattern and work with it again, here is some photos I would follow. I love the colour of the chairs in the first image as it increases the aspect of pattern as they are all the same. I also like the construction of lines in this image also. In the second and third image, as the pattern is the strongest element shown but not the focal point of the image. Similarly, the fourth image shows pattern on architecture like the lines one did. I think this is key at enhancing the image and the formal element in the topic while still being interesting. These inspire me to look for pattern in a variety of different ways:
