Linda Lomelino - Mood Board

I like Linda's work a lot she is my favourite photographer. She mainly shoots food but sometimes shoots landscapes and places I have found out this as I follow he Instagram and look on her Blog. Her style of photography is rustic simple yet effective and I love all the images I have come across that have been shot by Linda. Her work has given me a lot of inspiration for my Final Project. I like the fact she co-operates a lot of props into her work and she manages to made it look homely. I like the way most of her images are shot square or rectangle I like the way she edits them with a lot of contrast.

Proposal

 For my project I want to base it on Food Photography. I enjoyed working on our previous Food Project and felt like I had a better connection with this project than any other, and I know I want to explore it further. I would like to base my final project on magazine and bake/cook books. I am interested in the advertising side of food photography and how it makes a huge effect on the public and how simple images can change how they see food. I will experiment throughout my project with film and use different techniques. For my final outcome I am planning on having eight final images. I want to make up four Food Posters advertising different topics, two magazine covers and two pages in a bake/cook book including the recipes. I think that by covering all these I will be covering the main advertising/interest points for food photography in advertising. Since finishing my research I have decided I will be taking images of cakes, cupcakes and other baking goods. I'm not sure yet if I will use film for some of my final images until I experiment with it, but for now I plan to shoot my final images in digital. My main inspiration has been a cook and photographer named Linda Lomelino. Linda has been my main interest into Food Photography I find her style really unique and interesting. Her images are rustic and have a dated feel to them. I like how simple her images are but effective. She has her own bake book, for this she has done all the photography herself. I will look at more food photographers old a new to get more of an idea of what style I will photograph in, whether or not I will use props etc. I think for my final images I will make them into a recipe book somehow digitally or may get them printed into a book. I will choose my favourite image from this project and get it printed onto either wood, PVC, Perspex, Card or normal photographic paper and frame it. I will probably get this done at CC imaging based in Leeds. I want to print one of my final images on a sustainable background because this is something I have never done and I think it will make my work look more professional. If I have any more I wish to print I will get these done at Proam.

EVALUTATION

For this project we were asked to produce two colour and two black and white film images and a number of tasks to complete in-between.I didn't enjoy this project and I didn't enjoy working in the darkroom as my negatives were too over exposed and I only had two images I could work with. we didn't have enough time in the darkroom so I think I would have done better if there was more time. I didn't enjoy the brief and would have preferred to have worked in digital as I shot a lot in digital. I didn't enjoy anything about this project and had a hard time getting into it. I struggle with my writing and find it hard to do the writing tasks such as research and evaluations.
