Developing photography

My final piece idea was to originally recreate my favourite textures from my experiments, then adding them together to create a composition. However, after looking at many of my experiments throughout my book and blog, I could clearly see that using the material hessian wouldn't properly work. It wouldn't hold the paint properly and allow me to create texture within it and upon it. Therefore I had to start thinking about how I could integrate my best textures that represent layers revealing layers into my final outcome. After looking back throughout my blog, I noticed in my recent pieces, I used a macro lense to take pictures of the textures that I fell in love with. Now, theres many textures throughout my sketchbook that I've created that I do adore. Therefore I decided to start creating some experiments on looking at different textures throughout my book, using a macro lense to take them. I chose my three favorite experiments and with the macro lense and took close up pictures of the textures I cherished. I did this a multiple amount of times with three different pages. 

I am happy with the results of these pictures, however am annoyed with how dark they look. The last picture taken is a lot lighter than the others, I'm not sure why because I had used a solid bright light for all pictures. The pictures overall really represent what I want them too, "layers revealing layers" stands out amazingly here. Each picture shows an immense amount of detail, you can see the paint literally unpeeling to revealing the bright red and white paint lying beneath it. 

I am pleased with how these photos turned out, the coppery colour that layers the cling film makes the texture a lot more affective. The first photo looks awful, it really didn't turn out well, I haven't focused the camera properly therefore it has not focused on the detail. However on a positive side, I got the focus for the next five photos. Although the colour is discoloured, I really like how these photos have turned out. I feel that the colour highlights the burnt parts of the cling film, therefore you can really see the "layers revealing layers".  

I adore the texture throughout these photos, as you can see, I had so many different parts of texture and detail to actually take pictures off therefore theres more photos than I had previously taken of the cling film work. I'm not happy with the two photos showing the white  paper blankley underneath. Although it does show "layers revealing layers", I feel that it's too obvious. I would rather my work subtly show my theme instead of it shouting it out at you. I feel that those pictures would just make my work irrelevant, if you don't have to look in detail at my work, then you can't see all the different types of textures created on a page. Therefore my theme of 'layers revealing layers" would just be pointless. Overall I am happy with how this set of photos turned out, I feel that it shows exactly what I wanted them too. So, I will be definitely be considering using a selection or one of these photos for my final outcome.
