Taking inspiration fron the famous poem 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe, Bells has been creating imagery that relates to the loneliness and darkness of losing someone close to you.

For our group exhibition, Giorgio is photographing his Grandad in the form of documentary photography. Unfortunately, he has Alzheimer's which affecs both Giorgio and others around him. He will portray his strong relationship with his Grandad and the memories which can be drawn from the photographs. In particular the 'Shed of dreams' image.

Emma Swain's concept

Portrait by Emma Swain

"Are Women Really Innocent? Have Fairytales Covered What They Are Really Like? My Work Is Questioning The Preconceived Idea Of Innocence In Women. "

Lisa's idea development.

These are two very different compositions that Lisa Leverseidge created of Emma Swain. These are test shoot images, and she has more to edit of other members of 'threepointfour as well as further shooting.

A series by Sarah

“Experience is not what happens to you. It’s what you do with what happens to you.” - Aldous Huxley

Sarah Kathleen Page has been reflecting recent life events after a talk with our tutor behind the doors of 3.4. During class last week we all opened up and told each other one personal story/event/issue they had experienced which was negative, a "sob story", if you will. The point being addressed was that we all go through sh!t and if you want to succeed, these are things you have to overcome. Taking heed from the quote above, you have to take every experience, whether it be positive or negative, and let it strengthen you. You need to look back at where you've come from, and look ahead to where you want to go and how to achieve it.
Our tutor was also explaining that, in documentary photography, the best work comes from the photographer that can relate to what they’re trying to portray. Sarah said "I have already gone though many things in my life, some I got over, some I wont."
Here she has combined self portraits and other photographs she has taken throughout her life whilst experimenting with photography to create these beautiful double exposures. Inspired by the book ‘Perceptions of Pain’ by Deborah Padfield, she wanted the finished product to visually communicate her pain and her feelings.

“Although we all experience pain it remains extremely difficult to define or communicate.” Unknown.

A shoot with Chris and Nikki

Two members of the group, Chris and Nikki got together to do a paired fashion shoot. Chris was the photographer and Nikki modelled.

The set-up was quite basic, flash head with an umbrella to the left of the camera. and camera on tripod and simple black sheet for back drop.

 

 

 

 

Video production

Today ThreePointFour started creating a video for our website. Here are some behind the scenes images.. look out for the video soon! :)

Emma Swain

"Growing up in a family of 6, and having two deaf parents reveals just how different my upbringing has been. My past, my experiences and my present create a thread of narrative that runs through my work and stems from my living in an environment void of sound. This is reflection of who I am and how I communicate visually revealed in my photography as a natural tool of expression."

This is an image from her experimental imagery in preparation for threepointfour's exhibition:

Glenn's Iphoneography

Not long ago, we all got given an assignment to take pictures with our camera phones. As a group, we like to embrace a range of different photographic mediums and approach all assignments with an open mind.

Here is Glenn's shoot:









All videoing and editing done by Sarah Kathleen Page, who is also part of the group, "Three point four".

Lisa's exhibition concept.

Inspired by Alfred Steiglitz's quote: "To demand the portrait that will be a complete portrait of any person," he claimed, "is as futile as to demand that a motion picture be condensed into a single still", Lisa wants to challenge the genre of portraiture. She has taken inspiration from artists such as David Hockney, Matisse and Picasso to construct this image: 
 

 Titled "Who am I?", this piece consists of numorous portrait images where the colour balance has been altered to reflect the different emotions. She is now looking beyond digital photography and has begun experimenting with large format film and also the Diana F+.

Bell's test shoot.

A sneak peak into Bells' most recent work. Following the theme of fairy tales and anything magical, Bells is incorporating her own dreams into her photos. Here is a sneaky preview of one of her images from her second test shoot today:

Saskia Cole's exhibition idea.

Saskia is aiming to "recreate pre-raphilite fine art pieces by using a range of models of different ethnicity to show how the times have changed and that we are in a new age of acceptance".  

This photograph was taken using a cannon 5D Mark 2 as Saskia wanted to experiment with shooting digital in natural day light. She also took some film images on a Chinon CE-4 and will be developing these shots later next week.
