Triptych work

Need to work more on backgrounds and veins

The work above shows examples i did experimenting with triptych's, my initial idea was to somehow portray a story, giving the viewer a broader angle of the subject and theme. Personally i do feel that this has worked well but would like to use a single image as my final as i not only think that this will be more effective but will hopefully result in clearer and more obvious meaning image.The images seen were all shot on the same day using a tripod. I only used the lighting from my laptop as well as using wires and technology based objects i found around my flat. Initially i wanted to experiment with having different objects, angles and overall environments in each shot as i felt that this would work best in relationship to the theme, for example one image showing my arm wrapped in wires, the other showing an environment laced in old technology while the other followed a similar theme maybe the inclusion of a human face or body as whole. Yet when i began shooting i found myself wanting to capture more of myself in different situations rather than concentrating on capturing a single objects or spaces. I began working on the idea of wanting the work to almost simulate a documentary set of images, unaware and as unstaged as possible, where each image worked off the next which when placed together created one whole photograph carrying the same theme and meaning.

Looking back on this work i do feel that the idea of recreating a storyboard appearance has resulted in a set of images which i found to be too complicated or lacking in context to later edit on Photoshop.  If i was to do this again i would have experimented more before hand knowing what i needed to capture in relationship to photoshop. As i feel that i could have produced some good photos to edit. I also feel that my lack in confidence within Photoshop has not helped this as i felt unsure and unaware of the capabilities to which could have been achieved within photo editing before this was done. As knowing what i know now i think i would have changed alot of the ideas and areas when shooting.
