Mood Boards“Discovery”

Jessica Hedley

The income of natural light helps to illuminate the contrast of colours and overall gives a bright shot

with more light being let into the lens.

Macro shots work well with capturing intense detail and vibrancy. It also

includes the technique of reflection.

Intense colours work better against neutral tones to add drama and life to

a shot. It also helps define shadows and depth.

The composition of this photograph works well with leading lines directing the eye to the

waterfall.

A wide aperture shot using a slow shutter speed allows the water to give a misty effect whilst

coming from the water fall.

Black and white photography brings out more definition in texture on objects such as flowers etc.

They are more classic and contemporary to observe.

Very fast shutter speeds of water being splashed can create interesting shapes and illusions that give dynamic effects

relating to discovery.

Macro imagery works very effectively with showing texture and detail in extremely up-close images. This

particular image of a strand of rope is very high in vibrancy and intensity to show the textures and shapes in which

the rope is intertwined. It also works especially well with fast shutter speed but would require a lot of lighting e.g.

light boxes/flash – to not black out the image and the detail be subdued.

The methods of macro photography I am particularly interested in is taking photographs of moving water using a tripod and a fast shutter speed e.g. a fountain or heavy

rain.

Another example of macro photography I am interested in is still water droplets on objects within nature, as these provide a short amount of reflection and help to make a

photograph more dynamic.

Working with a mixture of angles and compositions to show length and depth.

E.g. weather, sunlight and moonlight.

Using a low aperture allows the camera to look for natural light sources, which lets more light in to demonstrate texture

and dimension of clouds.

Using additional props helps to distinguish the theme and it’s meaning, it also works well at bringing character to an image.

Aerial views are a good way of demonstrating closer views of space, especially at night, where patterns and shapes can be created via lighting,

almost like veins in the human body.
