Autumn

In today's lecture we were given our 2nd task of the year. This task was called 'Autumn' and were told that the shot should be as striking and memorable as possible and convey something of what ‘autumn’ means to us.


Below are the first photographs i took for this task: 




When first given this task i was racking my brain and trying to think of what autumn meant to me. The first thing which came to my head was farm animals as i live on a farm and autumn is when the lambs from spring are nearly fully grown and out in the fields and when the cows are all out grazing. So i went out into the farm grounds and starting to photograph. When i had finished the shoot i was very happy with the photo's and thought they were good. 

After a couple days i was thinking more into 'what autumn meant to me' and i realised that although autumn is a time when the farm is full guns blazing and the animals are all out grazing it isn't what autumn fully means to me. For me autumn is all about colour and the natural beauty of our land. I wanted to do a series of two images maybe three which represent this colour which I love so much.
I didn't want to produce your average run of the mill photographs of autumn which i knew everyone would be doing so i decided to go out into Worcester town and photograph people. I came across a young lady called Amber who had full head of ginger dreadlocks and wearing an clothing which incorporated an array of colours. i asked if i could photograph her and she said yes which was much to my appreciation. 

My aim was to represent the colours of autumn through my subjects clothing and hair - capturing the natural beauty and joy which the land so delicately flaunts and represent it through a colourful, natural young lady. 


These were my final two photograph's for the ask. 



I am so happy with my final photographs and feel they really do represent autumn to me and hopefully others will understand the aim of these photos and feel sense of nature lurking into them even tho the photos were taken in a very industrial setting.
