by Anais Jourdan

Photography level 3 year 1

 Rationale
What I Have Learnt
• I learnt how to use basic tools in Photoshop and Illustrator.
• I learnt how to use a sewing machine and design and make a good quality shirt.
• I learnt about fashion communication and how to capture a customers attention through a
window display.
• Through fine art I learnt how to use a lot of new and interesting mediums including: wire,
mono print, paper, clay and cardboard.
• In photography I learnt about alternative processes including: chemigrams, cyanotype and
scenography.
 Rationale
What I Have Learnt
• In photography I experimented with light painting, portraiture, levitation and dioramas.
• I also learnt about time based photography which included creating: flip books, stop frame
animation, and spirit animal transitions.
• Through all the rotations I completed research and learnt how to have good time
management.

I chose to do photography because I thought it was the most fun and interesting.
 Concept
• I want to take photographs to narrate short
stories and poems written by my friends who are
youth.
• The photos and stories represent some emotions
that teenagers often feel including: fear and fear
of change, freedom and happiness, and sadness.
• I have been inspired by articles about abuse and
a poem about a bad dream which both tie in with
the stories my friends wrote.
• I am not sure exactly how many of the stories I
will use yet but I am going to experiment with all
of them.
 This photograph
shows freedom
and happiness.

These two photos show distress

from bad dreams and fear.

These photos show loneliness, fear and

sadness.
 Practice
• I will need to read the stories and pick out things to photograph that will best
narrate them.
• I will research some artists to find inspiration.
• Some artists I like are Nan Goldin and Josefine Seifert because of the lighting and
mood.
• I have found lots of inspiration from photos from the internet as well.
 Practice

• I will do several shoots

• Some will need to be taken in low light and
some in bright light
• I will use my sister for most of the
photographs as I cannot use my friends
• I will use different locations such as: a bed, a
field of wheat or flowers, and an empty room
 Practice
• I will use a Canon 1000 camera to take the
photos
• I will need to edit the photographs in
Photoshop
• I will adjust brightness and exposure and
perhaps use a black and white filter on a few
of them
• I will also evaluate all of my work as I
complete it
