From looking at the work of Jorge Molder, i desided to experiement abit with a few of the ideas i had based on his work: the first was experimenting on how by manipulating the contrast of an image, and making it black and white, like Molders work, it seems to create a much darker effect on everyday items to create a serious of random objects that appear together like clues to a story. This will also be helpful if i decide i want to look at abit different more unusal fears that people have. Below are a few examples of the before photos and the after photos. to compair the difference. I just took a selection of photos of random objects around the home. The photos on there own are very boring and not even very good photos but once edited in photoshop, they look alot darker and very different. I used the black and white filter set to 'darker' and then using the levels adjuster made the contast more extreme. I also added blur to some of the photos in small sections to add more of depth and unusalness to the image (if thats even a word?!)
After
Also, while on the train on my return journey to leicester i noticed i could see people in the reflection on the glass bottomed luggage rack, sadly the only camera i have availible to me was my camera phone which was very pixilated once zoomed in. I like this idea and may continue with the idea of the feeling of being'watched' and turning into a stalker lending my camera to a more candid aproach to photography
I tried also this approach in a coffee shop, again taken on my phone so it appears grainy but i also converted it to black and white post production.
As much as this approach of almost a 'stalking approach' and this idea of taking photos without the person noticing, while it focusing on that feeling of anctiousness and being watched, paranoid and how it links to fear, its not something im comfortable doing. while the camera phone allows me to do this with some ease, its not really what i like doing, i dont think i have the confidence and i dont really like the streetphotography approach to things. i wouldnt like to sit there with a DSLR and take photos.
