Unit 2 Relationships - Shoot 1 - Macro Photography - Inspired by Jelle Martens

Inspiration for this shoot...

Jelle Martens
'In the Quivering Forest'

Shoot 1 - For shoot 1 I took these macro pictures below, I tried to capture as many different textures and colours in these pictures, as this is what Jelle Martens does in his work, the purpose of taking these pictures is to then go on to create them into a collage, much like Jelle Marten's - 'Quivering Forest' which is my first influence. Some of these pictures worked well and are clear, and show natures different colours and textures, other pictures did not work so well, as the image is blurry and a little 'bland'.

I believe this picture worked well, it is in focus and I think the vibrant colours are effective at showing how beautiful nature is, which is what I want to portray in my collage.

This photograph did not work as well, as its not very interesting, and the image doesn't have a message that will make the viewer think.

This is one of my favorite pictures, I like the way the log in the front is sharp and clear, and as you go from Right to Left the image subtly gets softer. It also portrays the message that nature is being destroyed, which I interpenetrated from Jelle Martens work, as I think he is trying to say that we're the shapes in the piece, and that we're messing with nature.

This photograph will work well in my collage, as there are different shapes and also different shades of purple/blue, which is really effective and makes an interesting photograph.

This picture did not work well, and is probably the least successful photo as it is blurred, I must of moved slightly when taking this photography, which will be the reason for this blurriness.

I also really pleased with this photograph, I took this by standing directly above a tree, with a 50mm lens, its interesting because it makes the viewer think about which part of the tree was photographed, I will defiantly be using this photo in the collage, as the colours work well too.
