Second shoot contact

With these images I wanted to show examples of entropy in the old part of the graveyard, many of the headstones have been eroded over time as well as as the old chapel which is in ruin. As well as this surface decay i believe some of the images to be suggestive of something deeper, intertwined with the religious iconography is the idea of human entropy, a concept i believe is enriched by the sense of time and history present in the of the psychogeography of the area.

First contact!

Camera: Arax 60

Film: Rollei Retro 80s

Update: studio shoot

Today i finished the roll of film i started in Wales at the weekend, i have been photographing objects in the studio which are examples of entropy, I cant wait to develop and scan my film and see what i got, pictures to follow!

Update

Okay last weekend, that is the 6th of october I was in wales to make my first image for this project, this involved a 3 hour long night time exposure as well as the use of flash, unfortunately when i returned to my camera water had condensed allover it and the lens was pretty steamed up! So im not sure how the image will turn out but for now heres a rough artists representation of how the image should look.

Personal Project Planning

Subject matter/theme:

I have decided to base my project around something physicists call entropy, also known as the second law of thermodynamics, it explains why matter will always be much more likely to be in a disordered state rather than an ordered one. I plan on capturing representations of this through still life work, as well as outdoors.

Initial research methods and material:

I will research into my chosen area through library, journal and web based research. I plan to shoot using film, and print my images in collage. I am going to engage in studio-based work possibly alongside outdoors shoots aswell.

What, why, who, where, when and how?

This project will be medium based as I plan to produce fine art prints using photographic emulsion on canvas, I am also interested in using darkroom experimentation to further abstractify my images. Through this abstractification I plan on emphasizing the visual ambiguity of the theme I have chosen.
