In last week's class, I had a photo shoot outside the campus. Our focus today was the Urban Landscape photos. This time I used a canon 700D + EF-S 18-55mm kit for took a photos. In addition, at the start of the class I looked at examples from Philip Lorca Dicorcia, Wim Wenders and Michael Wolf. I found this class to be very interesting as it allows me to see professional photographers and get hands-on experience in the class. In this class we went to the Cultural Quarter, Leicester. The pictures that I took are all in colour because I thought that the light and shadow hitting the building were quite perfect. ISO 200, f/4.1, 1/1024 sec At that time I was walking back to the appointment point and met the corner of the building with only one side of the building, so I decided to try to shoot. ISO 200, f/4.3, 1/128 sec ISO 200, f/4.3, 1/512 sec In this class, I'm very satisfied with the pictures I took because the results came out as expected, but there are still some points that ...

Rinko Kawauchi Research

Image
In this post, I would like to research about Rinko Kawauchi...   Rinko Kawauchi The Japanese photographer, Rinko, was born in 1972. She graduated from Seian University of Art and Design, Japan. She began her career in commercial photography before moving on to contemporary and Artistic photography later. It was driven by Ms. Takei, her personal manager. This made her start taking artistic photography seriously. and has published several photo books to sell later.  Kawauchi's images give an intense, almost hallucinogenic perspective to everyday events. Her photographs, which can be of city streets, flowers, oceans, or a dead deer by the side of the road, hardly ever feature people. In a series of photographs titled "Illuminance," Kawauchi alludes to concepts of dreams, temporality, and the divine. In one photograph, for instance, taken at the bottom of a set of stairs leading to a subway station, commuters make their way to the exit as a ray of diffuse sunlight descends th...
