Using the idea from  Alfred of taking close ups, I photographed the shoe in the studio at different angles focusing on different parts of the shoe. I found these were  lot more interesting to look at as you were trying to figure out what they are and what part of the shoe they are. I think this is a lot more effective. It also gives you more if an opportunity to focus on some of the dirt stars on the shoes and the general detail of the images. I still feel these support the idea of wasted money for finding this shoe which has been ruined by the outdoor weather and how willing someone is to just leave it in the street.

From all my studio images I am then going to create my  tryptic. – The Tryptic is on the next page.

I picked some of my stronger images and tired out various sets of the images. For this i thought about the composition and colour of the images.

Version 1: For this first one they are all close up images. To me that made the images together quite unbalanced. So for my next version I thought I’d use a full length image of the shoe for the middle.

Version 2: I replaces the middle image with a full length image which I think as a whole worked better than the three close up images. however I didn’t like the two images both had the white space on the left side.

Version 3: This set works the best as it has the two close ups on both sides which balanced out with the white  space being on the side towards the middle image.  This makes the image more balanced along with the full shot in the middle.

Landscape or Portrait – I then looked at whether the tryptic was better landscape or portrait. The portrait version s stronger due to the pictures being portrait reducing the length of them image of them together.

Tara is from Boston. Her photography focuses on photographing obscure objects in the studio such as animal skeletons or insects. This theme goes across all her images. However the shoot which stood out to m the most is ‘Seven Evil Throughts’ (2010) which focuses on multiple images where they are either, the same image split up, the image mirrored, a different version of the same image all next to each other. I tried this with my final images of my triptych to create a new type of triptych.

Using my final images, I tried this technique with my images to create a triptych from one of my photos, instead of combining three.
