Research


 William Snyder

Annie Leibovitz

Tim Clayton

Once these pictures are all towards my research in finding my type of photography that i like and can learn from. they are all interesting and all these photographers have intriguing back stories and different ways in how they started their careers. I will be doing more research on them and there history but i have to say i like the way each of these pictures have been shot. They are either being shot as they happen or has been set up in studio.

IDEADS FOR SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY


Adrian Dennis

Tom Clark

Paul F Gero

The above photos are example of sports photography that i feel like i can emulate and relate to. The photographers each have their own style and stamp on these photos. They all picked different times to take the photos and also edited them differently and some didn't. Some here are self portraits they all give me a sense of style and timing i like these photos and they are all tools and research for me in my self portrait Project. They are all different but they all help put ideas and timing into prospective, and allows me to figure out how i want to take my pictures. The shutters speed, the lighting, whether its in studio or its being shot as the sport is being played. They all have there reasons and angles in the photo you can see the emotions in the photos being portrayed by each individual. 

My six powerful images

The above images are the before and after of some ideas for my self portrait project. This is a before  and after that shows the depth and the quality of the picture once i added the air brush and black & white effect. As you can see this is me in my work clothes but i am also wearing basketball shoes as a metaphor and symbol as me still relaying on them and using them as my foundation for comfort & joy as i work. Most people would wear shoes designed for work i wear shoes of my preference and what would make me happy.

Ade's mirror

So where do I begin when talking about me well all i can say is that I am An artist who likes music, art, Photography, comics and graphic novels. These are thing that i enjoy my passion burns the strongest for the sport of basketball. I see basketball as an art and everyone on your team has their own picture to paint. Each player and or artist has a position to play or a their own paint brush to help paint. so hear i am studying DFSA trying to find a place for my self expression in the genre that i pick  within digital film and screen arts. i believe this course will allow me to find something to be a professional in and then find the right place for the art i create. It can be some photography, it can be cinematography, sound engineering, spoken word or whatever i feel i can express myself in the same way i do in  my basketball. this is my journey in finding myself and what I'm comfortable taking on as a profession. I am  on myself this is Ade's mirror
    

My inspirational role model

“I've missed over 9,000 shots in my career.
I've lost almost 300 games.
26 times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.”
