Photo essay
It all started with the photo essay. I went to a home for old people and I was allowed to go around with one old man to see how life is at a home like this. His name is Viggo and he has two horses, that he cares so much about. He goes horse back riding as often as he can, but now its hard because its winter and it is so cold. His horses are outside for now but he said that he will bring them into the sable soon. I went with him out to see his horses and I ate with him in the cafeteria, it was really interesting to see, I thought that it would not be fun to live in a place like this but after spending some time with him I realized it must be kind of nice, he has his own apartment, even tough its not big, it is still big enough for him. His wife died about 10 years ago and I could see that he misses her. He told me stories about his life and we even watched some videos. He told me many things about having horses and it was really interesting. I wish I could have spent a bit more time on this project and I am thinking of going there again to take more photos of him and his horses.
Black and White
There was another project to take photo of something black on a black and white on white. I decided to take a photo of Coca Cola and milk, it was a great challenge but after a while and with some friends help I managed to get a good result. I had the glasses on a table, the milk on white and coca cola on black, I used only one light and reflectors while photographing the black but I used a light from above and a honey comb on the right side, I used some reflectors as well. I did some photoshop work but not to much.
Industrial
I made an industrial serie, where i took photos of a man making custom made shoes. It was an interesting process and I never could have imagined that it was so much work. It was all done by hands, except fore the time when he used the sewing machine but its not even an electric machine. He said it is expensive to get shoes but because he is making them for people with special needs, then the government pays 90% of the shoes, so its not as expensive for the costumer. I like this serie so much, but I want to do another industrial serie where something is as much hand made as this.
Architecture
I had to take one more photo for the architecture project the one I did earlier, because the teacher wanted a photo at winter time and in the twilight. So I went to the museum again early in the morning to photograph a house there, it was not even open yet. I think I captured a good one and I am lot happier with that photo than the once I did before. At December 6th we will have an exhibition of some of the photos we took there and I am deferentially going to use this one
Now I am trying to finish the final works, I am planing on making a photo manipulation and I want to make a scene like "post apocalyptic" but I want to have at least one person left. During the weekend I am planing the shots and sketching it up. I want to take some photos in the studio and put them into a photo of a street view. I will post it on t
