Work diary - shape

Work diary - shape:

In this session our topic was shape, we had to go out and take pictures of anything that involved shape. Personally I found that this task was quite repetitive as I found most of my images being very similar as well as some of them showing the same style of shape. If i could do this task again I would try to find more original ways of showing shape in my images whether this is by the angles I take my pictures from or they shapes that I choose to include in my pictures.

Below are two images that I think best show my way of showing shape in a image. I personally like the first picture because I like the way that the focus is on the flower which is helpful to show the outline of the flower which shows the initial shape of the flower.

I think that the photo below is a more subtle way of showing shape. I think that this photo shows how shape can be in everyday surroundings. This picture also shows how multiple of the same shape and different shapes can make up one over all shape. The way that the different tiles in this pictures make up one shape makes a original way of showing shape in photography.

Below are two images that I have found from the internet that i think are some of the best ways that show how shape can be shown in photography. I think these two images show similar aspects of shape as they are both showing simple and elegant shapes.  However I also think that these images also have some differences. I think that the picture below is a more serious way of showing shape, this pictures has also be placed on a certain background in a certain way so that a certain effect is given.

I think that the picture below also shows shape as a clear outline of the flower (the object that is being focused on) is being shown therefore a clear idea of shape is being showed in this picture. This picture is different form the one above as the picture has not been placed on a certain background or has it been altered for the photographer to take the picture. I think that both of these pictures show a clear representation of shape and how it can be shown in photography.

Below are images that represent shape. they do this by showing the out line of an object. the pictures that i have chosen show how common shape is as some of the pictures are in realistic settings while others are not as common. The pictures below also show how some shapes can be made up from a collection of shapes to make up one big shape. As a whole the shape in the pictures help to give certain aspects definition and help to centre where you should be looking in the picture.

In this image the use of form and tone have been used to create a shape. This is effective as it is a creative way of showing a shape that clearly standout. The use of tone in this image helps to make the outline of the shape be clear and the angle of the photo makes the shape of the ring and the heart look 3D.

Above and below the a circle is shown clearly through the use of shape. In the image above a black outline allows the shape to standout in the photo. Also the blurred background means it stands out even more. The use of shape is clear here as the shape is easily identified and is made to be the main focus of the image. In the image below shape is show in a photo of multiple tubes. In the image the tubes are placed at different distances from the camera. By doing this you can get a clear view of multiple circles at the ends of the tubes. The one closet to the camera stands out more than others making this shape appear bigger than the others.

In this photo shape is shown through the positioning of a leaf stem. The leaf stem makes a out line of a heart shape, this creates the shape that is photographed in this image. This is a effective way of showing  shape as the shape is clearly identified, but in a simplistic way.

In these  two images the use of colour helps to make the shapes stand out. In the image about, each individual colour helps each section of the shape standout The single colours make the heart shape appear clearer to the human eye. The use of the pink colour with the light in the image below makes the heart shape look effortless. The shape is highlighted by the light in the middle making the colour standout even more.

Definition post - shape:

Definition: a geometric figure such as a square, triangle, or rectangle.

Describing words: Triangle, Square, Circle, Rectangle.

This is a creative way of showing shape as it uses different shapes ( pencils) to create the main shape which is the circle. I think that this is a creative way of showing shape as its not a plain shape on its own its a shape tarts been up.

This picture is a collection of shapes that make up another shape. I think that this style of making shapes is effective as it shows how diverse shapes can be as it shows that they can look completely different when they are on there own than when they are put together.

This picture shows shape as each single heart is a shape. I think that this picture is effective as it shows the shapes on there own but by showing multiple of them it shows how they can be the same but different as the photographer has decided to alter the colour.

This picture shows how shape is found in everyday life. This picture of a fence shows how shapes make up pretty much everything that we can think of. I think that this picture is effect and fulfils its purpose as it shows how the shape is in its natural surroundings with a plain and simple background.

My definition: shape makes up everything that we can think of and is around us at all times even when we cant name the shape.
