Here is one of my favourite graffiti photographs and the areas that appear more clearer and sharper are the colours on the wall and the writing on the photograph. There are no highlights and shadows ion the photograph but you can guess the time of day on the photograph because it is very bright the photograph you cant guess the specific time of day for the photograph. The dominant lines on the photograph is the black lines with the writing and the lines in between where the bricks have been laid on the wall. There are no lines that are repeated in the photograph not even the colour is repeated on the wall because there are different shades of purple on the wall and this doesn't create a pattern. I do se some geometric shapes in this picture which are the bricks on the wall which are rectangles. If I could touch the surface on the photograph you would feel all the different lines and textures on the bricks and you would feel bits of lumps on the marker where the writing has been done on the wall. There are a range of tones on this photograph because the further away from the writing the colours are darker whereas the colours are closer to the writing are brighter tones of purple so this will create a contrast between the colours with it being brighter closer to the writing and the tone being darker further away from the photograph. There has been no cropping or framing used in this photograph and I did attempt to use the rule of thirds to this photograph.

The type of lighting that is in my photograph is daylight because that was the time of day that the photograph was taken there is no additional lighting used on the camera I used flash on the camera to help being out the lighting and bring out the colour on the writing on the wall. The lens and camera that I used to take my photo was a Cannon 1000D which is a really good camera to use to take high quality photographs. I tried to use different settings on the camera, the setting that I used was the depth of field setting I took one photograph with thus getting on and one with it off and I felt that the photograph with depth of field looked much better. I also haven't used any shutter speed in my photograph such as my motion blur, panning or over or under exposed. The ISO speed for this photograph is 400. I haven't had to add anything else such as contrast to the photo I didn't think I needed to put this photo into Photoshop because I really liked the photo how it was.
Contextual
The time and day where this photograph was taken was around 10:00am in the morning and this was in Manchester in the Northern Quarter. This is because in the Northern Quarter in Manchester are some of the best graffiti art in Manchester this is why I choose to go to this location and take graffiti photographs. The equipment that was used when I was out taking this photograph was a Cannon 1000D because this was the best camera to use when taking photographs because you are able to get HD quality photographs when using this camera. Similarly to the Nature photographs I wasn't going to consider doing graffiti art at first I was looking at doing Fine arts instead of doing this topic for my final piece for photography and some of the photographers I looked at to get some inspiration when doing Graffiti Photography are Ian Cox who was a male graffiti photographer. I also looked at Mr T who is a french graffiti photographer and his photos inspired me the most of all because they convince with attractive perspectives and interesting colours. What I really like about this photograph are how the colours contrast from being the further away from the photo the darker the colour and the closer to the writing the brighter the colour that colour being purple. The theories of mind with graffiti is that it catches your eye when your out and about and also can be really interesting to look at with all the different colours styles and patterns.
Connections
The connections that I can make with my previous knowledge is that they are similar to ones that I have looked at on the internet although before considering doing graffiti I looked at fine arts but I decided to change my mind and do graffiti. The relationships that I can make with other photographs are that I have looked at some exhibition on google from different artists and they all inspired me to take similar photos and I have also looked at the photographers work who I researched into which was Ian Cox and Mr T. The views that this image gives is that it shows how different graffiti can look on the wall when you go into greater depths with it and go and explore. Looking at different photos has inspired me into taking these photographs and this has developed my work even further and when taking these photographs because I have taken in consideration all the different colours and all the different surroundings in the photos. What I have learnt from taking photos graffiti is that it can be really interesting to look at and is also very eye catching when being looked at on the wall and makes Manchester a more interesting place.

Here is one of my favourite graffiti photographs and the areas that appear more clearer and sharper are the colours on the wall and the body of the man on the wall in the photograph. There are no highlights and shadows in the photograph but you can guess the time of day on the photograph because it is very bright the photograph you cant guess the specific time of day for the photograph. The dominant lines on the photograph is the black lines going around the persons body and the lines in between where the bricks have been laid on the wall. There are no lines that are repeated in the photograph not even the colour is repeated on the wall because there are different shades of purple on the wall and this doesn't create a pattern. I don't see any geometric shapes on there or and organic shapes because these are graffiti photographs and there are no objects that appear 3 dimensional so this will mean that no effect is created. If I could touch the surface on the photograph you would feel all the different lines and textures on the bricks and you would feel bits of lumps on the mans body where the writing has been done on the wall and you also be able to rip some of the dried paint on the wall. There has been no cropping or framing used in this photograph and I did attempt to use the rule of thirds to this photograph.

The lens and camera that I used to take my photo was a Cannon 1000D. I attempted to use depth of field I took the photograph once using the death of field and once without depth of field and the photograph without depth of field looked much better. I also haven't used any shutter speed in my photograph such as my motion blur, panning or over or under exposed. The ISO speed setting for this photograph is 100. I haven't had to add anything else such as contrast to the photo. I didn't think I needed to put this photo into Photoshop because I really liked the photo how it was when it was taken although I did consider upping the brightness in the photograph

This is because in the Northern Quarter in Manchester are some of the best graffiti art in Manchester this is why I choose to go to this location and take graffiti photographs but I also could have gone near the skate park in town there is some good graffiti art there as well.

Here is my last favourite photograph from graffiti and the areas that appear more clearer and sharper are the colours on the wall and the main image in the photograph being the suggestion box in the photograph. There are no highlights and shadows in the photograph but you can guess the time of day on the photograph because it is very bright the photograph you cant guess the specific time of day for the photograph. The dominant lines on the photograph is the black lines going around the persons hand and the different colours of writing behind the box . There are no lines that are repeated in the photograph not even the colour isn't repeated on the wall because there are different shades of blue, red, green, yellow and brown. I don't see any geometric shapes on there or and organic shapes because these are graffiti photographs and there are no objects that appear 3 dimensional so this will mean that no effect is created. If I could touch the surface on the photograph you would feel all the different lines and textures on the bricks and you would feel bits of lumps on the mans body where the writing has been done on the wall and you also be able to rip some of the dried paint on the wall.

I haven't had to add anything else such as contrast to the photo I didn't think I needed to put this photo into Photoshop because I really liked the photo how it was although i did consider changing the brightness in the background of the photograph

The time and day where this photograph was taken was around 11:00am so late morning and this was taken near the skate park in Manchester This is because the tunnel next to the skatepark has some really interesting graffiti artwork. The equipment that was used when I was out taking this photograph was a Cannon 1000D because this was the best camera to use when taking photographs because you are able to get HD quality photographs when using this camera. Similarly to the Nature photographs I wasn't going to consider doing graffiti art at first I was looking at doing Fine arts instead of doing this topic for my final piece for photography and some of the photographers I looked at to get some inspiration when doing Graffiti Photography are Martha Cooper who was a female urban photographer and I also did some research into Ian Coxs work who is a English graffiti photographer. I also looked at Mr T who is a french urban graffiti photographer and his photos inspired me the most of all because they convince with attractive perspectives and interesting colours. What I really like about this photograph are how all the different colours contrast to the suggestion box and I think all the different colours in the background are very interesting. The theories of mind with graffiti is that it catches your eye when your out and about and also can be really interesting to look at with all the different colours styles and patterns and can persuade you into taking an interest into graffiti photography.
