Shoot 4 - Work Diary

E V A L U AT I O N

In this shoot I chose to do an experimentation with a bath bomb as I can link it to my shoot with food colouring and water and the effects of coloured water and then I can link it to my shoot with water and paper as this is another permeable object which reacts with water that I am looking at. I really enjoyed this shoot as I found it fascinating photographing all the beautiful colours as they mixed together to turn the water into a beautiful bright pink lake, I found this shoot incredibly interesting as I was also able to photograph the bubbles and how they sit and look on the water. The bath bomb bubbles look like tiny little lava eruptions which is ironic as this is a shoot based on water.

This shoot was really interesting and important to my project as it allows me to focus on the way chemicals react with water. If I were to do this shoot again I would add in a few different bath bombs to see the way multiple water colours mixed together and how it effected the bath. My next shoot links to this as I am going to photograph the water going down the plug hole, it can represent the way water is wasted in the modern world when it is a precious commodity in some countries.

In this shoot I decided to focus on the way water affected permeable solids such as paper, I used photographs of a model to make the shoot more related to photography, these were my own photos from a previous unit. I splashed water on the photographs and also soaked them in a bucket of water in order to see the effects. I immensely enjoyed this shoot as I love the way the water droplets sit on the photographs and when I soaked the photograph it almost looked as if only the models eyes are submerged in the water, like part of her is missing. I believe this shoot has a lot of depth.

If I were to do this shoot again I would use a less expensive type of paper as I would like to see the ink in the photographs run as I feel it would create a more dramatic effect on the photographs however despite this shoot not working out how I imagined I am pleased with the results I got. My next shoot I am moving back to coloured water but it links to this as I am using a bath bomb which is another permeable solid however this one reacts with water. I will be photographing the bubbles and the effect the chemicals have on the water.

Shoot 2 - Work Diary

In this shoot I decided to shoot vases of water and pour food colouring in them to study the way the food colouring looks in the water. I found it created beautiful cloud like colourful shapes in the water, the wonderful thing about this shoot is that you can never take two of the same photographs because water will never fall the same way twice. I found in this shoot I was able to experiment widely, I photographed many different colours and found different colours react differently to the water, I also focused on pouring the water out and capturing the splashing of the droplets as they fall. This shoot has really inspired me and I hope to develop this idea further possibly for one of my exam shoots.

I really enjoyed doing this shoot on water and i loved experimenting with the different coloured syrups and food colourings. I have plans to develop this idea for my exam shoots where I will add ice into the experiment and look at the effects water has on ice and also the way the colours reflect within the ice cubes. For my next shoot I am planning to look at the effects water has on paper and to do this I will use photos of my model and look at how the water moulds to the paper and how it sits on the photographs.
