what is campaign photography?
Campaign photography is photography that has been based on very serious issue such as smoking, racism,cyber bullying and much much more. Photography help the user to understand more because there are not there many words to read so anybody can understand what the photographer is trying to say.
campaign photography EXAMPLES
best photoI think that this is the best picture because it doesn't have that many words and it has a clear message even with out the sentence. I think that the image is saying with every smoke you are getting closer to activating a bomb that will destroy you forever. I think the photographer has made the bomb with cigarettes tied it to a clock and join the two with string to make a time bomb.The affect of the lighter is that it is all the smoke inside your body which has built up and is about to activate the bomb. Finally I think that the photographer has used a medium depth of filed this is used because it can get all the objects in the picture.
I think that this is a good photo because it has no words and it shows you the after effect of self harming this is useful to see all the scares that you will have after self harming so it can prevent people from doing this and in the long run it will prevent more people from doing it that is what I think that the photographer was thinking and he was taking this photo. I think that be used a medium depth of filed this is because you can see some of the background clearly. The colours of the image is dull as self harm is a depressing matter. The image has a rule of thirds as the girl is in the bottom two thirds and there is nothing in the top third. The being in the center instantly draws your eye to the scares.

worst photoI think that this is the worst image because it has too many words, and that is all it has is words and no images so this is the worst image because it is not photography because it has no images.

shoot 1
I will take a photo of a person with a medium depth of field outside the main building this because I will only get the person in the shot. I will take a picture of a paper cigarette whit a small depth of field this is because I will only get the cigarette in the shot.Then I would use photoshop and cover the person in cigarettes and make it look like the person is drowning in the cigarette. I took a picture of a clock then replace the hands with cigarettes.
final product
This image shows when you smoke the cigarettes are taking you over this help the viewer to see what is happening and there for they can see how the cigarettes are taking the body over. I made the image central this gives a greater affect because you can see the person straight away. the exposure is perfect this means that the photo is not too bright or not too dark so you can see the person clearly. I have use a medium depth of field which mean that you can see the person and some of the background.
editing PROCESS
I magnetic lasso the cigarette this is so I can make them the right size to be the hands of a clock
Imade the cigarettes the right size to be the hands of a clock
I smooth out the edge of the cigarette this is so it looked more realistic. I added sme text but I did not like the text.
I changed the text and made it bigger this is so it would stand out more.
final piece
This image show how every puff is activating a time bomb inside of you which will take you second by second closer to death. The message of this piece is a lot clearer then the other this is because it is a much simpler image then the other. I like that it is on a white background this make the clock and the text stand out more. The image has a medium depth of filed this is because you can see the background clearly. The exposure of this image is just right this is because the brightness is what I wanted to capture. I directed the camera forward facing in order to get this viewpoint so I could get the whole clock in the image.,
shoot 2
I will take a photo of a shadow hand which is trying to do self harm to a person whit scissor I will do this in the classroom for this shoot I will use a small depth of field so it will only focus on the hand. I will use Photoshop to manipulate my photographs to create a image of a normal hand into a shadow hand which is doing self harm.
best photoThis is my best shadow because you can see that the shadow is about to stab someone and trying to kill them I use this shadow in my editing. I use the tungsten background from white to blue.
This image shows you how I got the shadow in the picture above. I had to do this several times to get the perfect shadow of the hand of stabbing itself.
|
worst photoThis is my worst image because you can see the persons face which ruins the effect of the whole image.
|
editing process
This image is when I started Photoshop I put on a hand and a shadow hand on to photoshop then I cut all of the blue out off the shadow hand so only the shadow hand and the real hand. for this I use the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the all the blue out off the picture which left
This Image is when I decide to change my idea so that it look like the shadow hand had already cut the real hand.
This image is when I change my background to blue to make the the real hand stand out in the blue background.
In this image I have changed the colour of the writing to be black as the green was not standing out on the blue background but the black is standing out from the background.
In this image I have used the smudge tool which allow be to soften the edges of the image I also use the paint tool which allowed me to also smooth the edges.
final PIECE
This is my final price of work it shows if you keep your emotion inside of you you will end up stabbing yourself however if you tell someone how you fell this may never happen. In the image it looks like the shadow is taking over and there is no way to stop it. This to me shows how serious self harm can be and if you do not control what happens then you can kill yourself.
shoot 3
For this shoot I will make it look like a person who is a slave is being drag to his new home by his master. The Master has tired him up whit rope which he has warp around the slaves hand and use a large depth of filed. I will use Photoshop and make it look say that "humans are not for sale"
best photoThis is my best photo because you can see the right expression on the face of the slave and you can't the master face like he dose not care about the slave and he is just working along. For this shoot I have use a large depth of filed this is because then you can see the surrounding.
|
worst photoThis is my worst photo because the expression are wrong because they are smiling.
|
final piece
This image shows how in pain the slave is but the master dose not care about the slave and just keeps on walking. No one should be a slave as every human should have the same rights.
In this image I have changed it to black and white this is so that the writing would stand out. I have use a different image this is because the image is much more effective then the other image that I have use for my edit.
EVALUATION
In this topic I have develop on my editing skill in photoshop which has has helped me make these images even better and you can see all the photos have there own story.
