An Exhibition of my work

During this time I have spent researching about Narrative Photography and having Gregory Crewdson as my inspiration I have created some images of my own. With the new skills that I have learned, and having a great photographer to look at, I have developed my own style. For this part of the Gold Award, I was needed to have an exhibition of my work. So, once I had took the photos and had some which I was happy with, I started planning how I was going to show my work.

I though about a number of things, and a number of places where I couild show my work. I felt none of these would be right. But, as I was sitting and thinking one day at school, I though of an idea which
I felt could work. This was to display my work, in a local libray, with various people that are able to stand an pose in photos for me, with my own photos being displayed around them. It would almost be a death scene, surrounded be death scenes, which I thought would add a good edge to it.

After I had took the photos that I needed to take in the library, I was to have people fill out questionnaires so that they could evaluate the photos around them. This would help me to find out whehter or not people actually like my photos, and which ones they liked best. This would help me have confidence in my work, and let me know that I have created some good photos in the style of narrative photography.

My photos

Over the past few weeks, I have been developing my own photos.
I have been planning photo-shoots and working on Photoshop to make the photos better.

Here are the best few out of my own photo selection:

Photo 1

Photo 2

Photo 3

Photo 4

Photo 5

Photo 6

Photo 7

Photo 8

I think that these 8 photos are the best ones from the different selections of photos that I had. I feel that I have done well in creating some photos which display narrative in them. I feel that they are all of a high standard and should be considered as good pieces of artwork.

There were two other photos that I was going to use, but having the display location in a Library I thought that these two other photos were not acceptable to have up. So I didn't include them.

But here they are:

It was not right for me to show these because the fake blood looks very real, and there is a knife being shown in both of these. This is not suitable material to be displayed in a Library where children could be present. People could have been offended and shocked by these pictures and I did not want that to happen.
The reason why the other photo of the blood is still able to be included is because there was no knife, or harmful object, and the blood doesn't look so real. You are able to tell that I it is not real blood.
