Rationale
Understanding
how I took, manipulated and produced my images, it is easy to see how “digital
photography has in many ways raised our standards for the quality of the image
… we erase our mistakes and work to find the best shot before saving it”
(Murray 2008, p145) so our end product exceeds our ability to create the
perfect photo.
Jazz
Infused Street Lamps is my photo essay highlighting the everyday presence of
light with reference in particular to street lamps. Many of the photos taken
were located throughout Europe and Sydney, so the positioning, effects (Sepia,
Black and White and the Antique) and transitions used, aimed to highlight both
the Street Lamps (main focus) and the background in which the image was
captured. The use of Jazz/Blues as the soundtrack proved more versatile as it
wasn’t limited to particular pictures and atmospheric creation. This inturn
creates ambience and evokes a sense of feeling for the individual, highlighting
the power and history of certain images in contrast to the others, depicting
the everyday aesthetic of Light in a new light.
