Chapbook: Planning

 ● What is your final idea? Please explain in two sentences the theme and the form your writing will take.

My idea is to write a narrative story, and the theme of the story is a life of a bomber plane and the ideology of anti-war.


● Considering the form, how do you intend to layout your book pages?

I would layout my writings just as a typical novel.


● How many pages do you expect there will be?

35-40.


● Are you going to use images? Are these your own images (illustrations/photographs) or copyright free images that you will source?

Maybe some pictures that are copyright free.


● What is the plan of your time and how much you will need to spend on this?

Remember writing is something that you will need time and concentration without disturbance - you must make sure that you plan time to do this.

15-25 hours.


● What do you imagine the final book will look like?

It will be in 5'5 x 8'5 inch. 


● Have you considered the cover page/contents page/back cover with blurb?

Yes, so that there will be a ISBN number with my own copyright.


● Drafting and redrafting will need to be done? Who would you get to proofread your work?

They are needed to be done and I will ask my classmates and friends to proofread my work and check with my grammar and vocabulary.

William Klein: Tatiana + Marie Rose + Camels, Morocco (Vogue), 1958

Image
 The second photographer that I am going to research for re-assessment would be William Klein (1926-2022). He was an American-born French photographer, and was well-known for fashion and street photography. According to  Howard Greenberg Gallery (n.d.), Klein did not study photography formally but instead he studied painting at the City College of New York, and he won his first camera in the army when he was stationed in Germany.  TATIANA AND MARIE-ROSE WITH CAMELS, MOROCCO, 1958 The photograph was taken with black-and-white colour negative, as at that time colour films were not widely used. It was taken in a sunny day in Morocco, as we can see the light came behind from the photographer onto the models' body and creating shadows. Klein took this photograph through his eye-level, because we can see that the photo itself was levelled at a low height, probably he was sitting or squatting down his body. The photograph created some contrasts between the female models and the ...

Processing Post: Shot One & Contact Sheet

Image
 I took my first shooting on 11/11/2023 in London. I have been to a couple of places to under my photo shooting. I have created a contact sheet for the shooting but it contains 55 pages, and I will put the contact sheet into a Google Drive folder, so that it would save a lot space for the post. There was a total number of 1,648 photos and 3 videos. I have used panning, rule of third, leading line and low angle for my photos. Here is ZFC_6659.jpg, this is a night shot that I have taken at St. Pancras Station. In order to avoid being noisy, I have used a very low ISO of 200 and as a result I have to lower my shutter speed to capture more light. I set the aperture to f/4, which is the greatest aperture I could have in a Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4. I shot it in portrait because it would looks upstraight. I used 70mm in order to have a tighter and narrower composition.  Another photo that I would like to talk about is ZFC_4630.jpg. The setting that I used was 1/400s f/8 ISO-200. The reas...

Diane Arbus: "Child with a toy hand grenade in Central Park, N.Y.C. 1962"

Image
Diane Arbus (1923-1972) was an American photographer, known for photographing "the fringes of the society" (Artnet, 2022). According to Artnet (2022), she was also known for her photographs of children, celebrities and the society, and she committed suicide in 1971, when she was at the height of her career. The image of "Child with a toy grenade in Central Park, NYC, 1962" brought a contrast between the boy, Colin Wood, and the children behind him. The photograph drew my attention when I was looking for a photograph of Arbus' collection "on freak" as I can feel how desperate and anger the boy was. Arbus photographed the boy who was staring at the camera through eye level, for me it created the feeling to the audience that we should immerse to her perspective. I believe that his anger was expressed through his facial expression and his hand gesture, and children at his age were supposed to be happy. And I think that he might face some difficulties at th...
