Level 5 photography
Nature Morte / Vanitas still life Mini Assignment
Weeks 21 and 22
Had an introduction to the traditions of nature morte and vanities in still life artwork and how will objects consider how they translate into contemporary photography. This mini assignment the class are put in groups and required to select a painting and research the historical still life image and remake this as a photograph using modern day materials and objects. Each group must print one image (A3 or 12x16) to present at a group critique on friday 20th March.
The remake image must be created in the studio using lighting equipment and workflows appropriate to this genre of photography. Before starting this assignment the groups must discuss and evaluate choices of objects and lighting and allocate tasks so each individual is involved and share ideas how to change some objects to modern day if possible and giving tasks will ensure that everyone successfully meet the requirements of mini assignment.
In creating my work I will need to research and consider the context that the original piece was produced and how I am going to update this into contemporary photographic context. I need to be careful and fully understand the visually interpret of the props from the painting, why the composition placed that way it is and the atmosphere and the way the lighting should be shone and placed in studio.
