Transforming Materials




Reflection Questions
a)This project was about making mundane everyday materials look interesting, and to set out to put them in a new light and context. My intentions were to try and think outside of the box that materials such as tinfoil and baking cups are usually constrained to. Of course I tried to focus on composition and attention to detail.
b)My work conveys my intentions, in that I successfully "transformed" each photo's material, although my they shifted throughout the project.  As I sought to experiment with reflections and shadows. Frustration in the earlier stages of the project required hat I persist and overcome the challenges presented.  I stretched myself and explored the different aspects of the project, broadening my horizon of a photographer. As a student of art I think I refined my craftsmanship conceptually.  My most successful photos made use of the reflection on the glassy black piano.
