Locating Unit

After learning where I went wrong with the first roll of film I decided to try again. I planned to take darker images as the first set and lighter images with more contrast for the second set. I bought two rolls of film and decided that on one I would have darker nature images, avoiding large volumes of light, followed by architecture images with contrasting shapes of light. The second film I decided to test using portraiture silhouettes, looking back at my initial research, this was then followed by images of trees. The intention was to cast the tree silhouettes onto the portraits. This was the outcome for the two films.

These images were much more successful that the first set and some of the frames were really interesting. Because of the fact that I rewound the film and took a second set of images, the frames haven’t all lined up perfectly, creating shadowed lines and empty spaces. I am excited about these marks and the effect it has had on the images. It has blended and merged frames together creating a bigger image. The way the images have layered up is also exciting; because of the spontaneous way the images have merged together.

  

These are some of the successful frames, these are completely unedited in terms of composition, the only changes I have made are to the brightness and contrast.
