Shoot Four - Image Bank

The apple in this image appears to be fading, due to the lighting used to shoot this photograph- it appears as though the amount of water droplets determine whether the image is seen, or not. Although this image isn't ambiguous, as it's evident this image is an apple  it is slightly abstract as you cannot see the whole object. The black back ground creates mystery as you cannot see anything apart from the slight bit of apple. 

This image is of a butterfly's wing, the wing appears to be hairy slightly, which adds texture to the image as a whole. The light blue pops out of the image in comparison to the jet black  colouring- which grabs the viewers attention. When I initially looked at this image, I didn't know what it was of, I only discovered it was of a buttery's wing when researching this image; this is what I want to create in my images- ambiguity. 

The bubbles of juice in this image of an orange add vast amounts of texture to the photograph, moreover the light can be seen to reflect in them, which gives an indication as to which direction the light is coming from. The skin of this orange would appear extremely ambiguous if this image was converted into black and white, however due to the colouring it's evident what the photograph is of. Although the viewer knows the object thats been photographed, this doesn't take away the fact that this image is still gruesome as the stringy parts of the orange are like veins, with the bumps being the recipients. 

This image of a pepper is cave-like, as there's depth within the image making your eyes travel into the background (to the back of the pepper.) I would like my images to be more abstract that this image, as I want people to guess what they're looking at I will most likely do this by taking away the colour from my images, and convert them into black and white. The angle which this image is photographed intrigues me, as it's evident this image is taken from below, looking up into the pepper. The photographer may have chosen to shoot at this angle in order to capture all the detail on the roof of the pepper. 

This image of a kiwi focuses on the patterns in which the seeds arrange themselves. The black seeds are scattered in linear structures around the centre of the fruit. The lighting would have been projected behind the fruit, as the light appears to be beaming through the white sections of the kiwi. 

This image of a pumpkin is in black and white which makes this image more ambiguous, the highly detailed cracks on the surface of the pumpkin create texture within the image, combining with the formal element of line, as theres vertical and jagged lines which take the viewers eyes on a journey. The cracks on the pumpkin look like someone has drawn all over it in pencil.

  1. a question for you Ellie, you have some strong images within your research which should provide an inspiration for your photography. The images posted and analysed here are stunning, I need to see how you can exploit your research... OK you have done this with Nadege Meriau in one shoot, you could add an additional shoot photographing exotic fruit and veg close up.. for example this might then connect with the work of Nadege Meriau and Edward weston as a series of fruit and veg photographed using either studio or natural lighting..
