Mini assignment - Typologies.
Typology are a range of different thing; natural features, objects, Abstract, Still life etc. Typologies can be anything, It must be a series of images which are put together in one photo or just a series of different photos based on the same thing.
Click on the picture below to see pictures on Typologies.
Heres a range of different pictures on Typologies that I am quite drawn too.
These all have a different type of contrasting images. From contrasting in movement, how things grow, contrasting in different types of the same thing, contrasting in colour, shadows and reflection, edges, shapes and forms etc.

Adam Houghton
I came across this picture on Pinterest and Google, I was quite dawn as I like how theirs different eye colour and eye shapes etc. It expresses the differences we all have compared to each other, in regards to our facial features. During the course I would like to try this out myself form Typology, I would probably change it up a but by taking pictures of people with different race's, black, white, mixed race etc. The contrast in this picture is the contrast in colour, it's quite effective because no one really takes notes in the differences that we have like how we all have different colour eyes and eye shapes. This is a really good typology because it shoes quite a lot in the space of these 9 pictures that Adam.H has taken.
Ana Mentdieta
This is Ana's Typologies. I really like the idea of these series of pictures as of the distort of the facial features and the human body. It reflects on how our body looks if we was flat rather then 3D. I find it really interesting with the filter of the picture. It looks as if pictures have been taken on a digital camera and has been printed and scanned onto a computer, which gives it this grainy effect which I feel gives it a better vibe etc.
Sam Taylor-Wood
This is Sam Taylor- Woods Typology. Sam TW took a range of different pictures of a woman which is help up by a harness which must have been cropped out from photoshop, also the chair is hung by a hard string which is held up so the chair is held up on one leg which is slanted. I really like how the light shines on the woman and how the shadow of her body is reflected onto the wall by the shadow. It makes it so much more realistic how the chair doesn't have a shadow either.
This is a series of pictures that I have taken of Ocean. I took a range off different pictures of Ocean's hair style just as a little practice to what Typology is, I've linked this to contrast in a way by all the different hair styles that you can make. I found this quite successful as It's quite interesting. I put the pictures into a collage and edited it on photoshop, I brightened up the contrast, making Ocean's ginger hair more brighter in contrast. The background was meant to be white but for some reason it came out like a light greeny colour.
Still Life.
Sam Taylor-wood
Sam Taylor-Wood is one of my favourite photographers, This is one of her famous still life videos which is published in an exhibition. It's a four minute time laps video of probably around about a couple thousand pictures that had been taken during the course of a couple days or a week. She took picture of the fruit from it being at it's freshest to how it stars to decay. It's very interesting as we never get to see how things mould but this time laps really shows a lot that happens during the course of that happening.
Irving Penn
Ivring Penn is a Still life photographer. He works with a range of different foods, I am mostly inspired by his Ice photography. Irving Penn freezes a range of different fruits and vegetables and takes a series of pictures of them with a white background, this makes the picture more effective showing the shape of the ice and also showing parts of the fruit and veg which are frozen and parts which have melted etc.
I want to work with the idea of Irving Penn's Still Life, to link Still Life to Typology I want to freeze fruit and vegetables in the freezer and project them In a show room with good lighting. Reflecting this to Contrast, Contrast is show by the way that the fruit and vegetables start to decay in regards to how it frosted into a solid and then melts back into It's normal formal element. I will be taking a time laps, I will put it on a 1/2 hour timer and it will take a series of images though out the time of how the fruit and vegetables start to melt into a liquid. It will be more interesting how the start of the pictures that will be taken will be still and hard, as the heat from the projection lights shine of the ice it will start to melt it. In the other series of pictures that will be taken the Ice will have started to melt it will then show the liquid starting to form a little puddle surrounding the fruit and vegetables.

These are the pictures that I have taken. I started taking the pictures at around 1:15pm till around 3:10pm, I feel as if it I could have spent a little more time melting the fruit and veg as the ice didn't melt as quick as I thought it would. The frozen tomato melted the most out of all the other fruit and veg, I really like how it has a trail of liquid from the ice to the edge of the picture. To improve on this I would spend a couple more days on this and alongside watching the ice melt also have the fruit and vegetables start to decay to give it two types to focus on.
Here are my 6 final pictures that I have chosen out of the ones above, I edited them on photo shop and and cropped the image. In these pictures you can slightly see the change as the ice starts to melt. I printed these pictures out as A4 and was going to stick them onto a think board canvas but not much time happened so I decided to put the pictures that I had taken in a time laps instead.
For my final piece with the pictures that I have taken of the frozen fruit and veg I started off by choosing six of the 200 pictures and printed them out A4, I then trimmed the pictures, I was going to stick them onto a thin board canvas. I got feedback from other teachers saying that instead I should do a time laps video. This is because I didn't get enough time to spend on taking pictures of the ice as it starts to melt, in the 2 hours that I spent on it not much progress has happened and In them six pictures, tiny progress showed. I decided to stick to the time laps idea as I thought it's probably much more clearer to see the change that had happened. The time laps video is made on I movie, on the time laps video It has effects to contrast the pictures and you can replay the time laps as long as you want. My time laps was around 1 minute and 25 seconds long. It look 10 seconds for all 200 pictures to slide so I put them on repeated time laps which when you watch it gives you a while to figure out the ages that happens in such a short period of time.
In the next week or so I am going to redo my final piece into something even better, I'm going to work with smaller ice cubes with blackberrys and stack them on top of each other and take a series of pictures throughout the day. It should then show the ice cubes falling and melting off each other, more should happen cause as it's so small. I am going to spend a good 5-6 hours taking pictures maybe on a timer of a minute, I should get at least 360 pictures which I can put together in a time laps and a typology.
This is my final timelaps video of frozen fruit, I would say it didn't work as well as I wanted it to. I was expecting more of a change in to where the blueberries would shuffle around. A positive side is that the way that the Ice is melting is quite interesting, from when the ice is melting the blueberries start to fall out of the ice cubes.
I had taken a picture every minute or so for around 3-4 hours. Over 300 pictures where taken in that space of time, for this I used a timer which would be in charge of taking the pictures itself rather then me waiting around every minute to take a photo each time for about 3-4 hours. The contrast in this Video is the contrast in how the ice redevelops back into it's normal form of liquid.
