To explore theses themes i decided to explore the theme through my own photography. The theme i wanted to create within theses images is a soft shuttle girly theme as the end image i will produce will just be the background of the magazine so needs to be kept simple and plain as its there for design and must not draw attention away from the main articles and images as that may be a problem for buyers.
To explore the theme of blurred lights i took tree lights which were a plain white color and set up my digital camera in a dark room. The camera needed to be set up to allow minimum amount of light through the lens, this will reduce the central focus on the object (the light bulbs) as little light is passed through. The camera should adjust itself so the lights emitted from the light bulbs form a blurred round shape. I studied the angles of the lights and tried to aloud more circles of light into the frame this was to create the warm theme i wanted for my magazine.
I felt happy with the outcome of my picture, Theses were the basic picture without being edited. Once edited the picture will give across the warm inviting atmosphere i wanted to go for within my magazines theme.Ill need to chose the lightest images within the set to get the best outcome, the light my image the more chance the image will look warm and shuttle. If i chose an image with less light circles but more dark contrast they would be harder to edit and will create a dark photo which is not the theme i'm aiming for.
To explore the theme of flowers, i used my digital camera and went out and took photos of flowers at my local garden center . I tried to explore flower which had light shades of colors and basic shapes. I didn't want to many photographs of flowers which were too complicated or had brightly colored petals but i felt the colors in the petals will stand out better when blended with the light.I felt light colors was most appropriate for my theme as light pretty colors are more feminine than more harsher colors like blacks and reds. Below are the images of the flowers that i took, i felt it was better to take group pictures as they would blend in better against the light than to have single shots alone.
Love it! :-)
