Final Images

- Kiwiana are certain objects or icons that are considered to be special to New Zealand and it's history. I decided to photograph icons such as marmite, fish n' chups and the famous Swanndri because of their well known aesthetics e.g red and blue chequer pattern or greasy white paper for fish and chips. My project looks at some of the more well known icons and portrays them as how they may be used in context as well as in the studio.

In the week leading up to my hand in, my laptop was stolen along with memory cards containing the bulk of my work throughout this year. Unfortunately I was not able to recover a large amount of the images I had taken throughout the semester. Fortunately I was able to reshoot a few of the more solid photos in the extra time I was given. Although not all my work is able to be presented, I feel that my final images are a good representation of the process I had followed and the images I had already taken.

 Last Shoot

Second Studio Shoot 

- I wanted to try using colourful backgrounds (instead of the plain black or white) and match the background colour with a particular product and its colours, in this case marmite. 

First test with location lighting

- I wanted to experiment with the portable lights however I was cut short from finishing this shoot.

 On Location shoot - Masterton 

- Although I had used the portable lights in the previous shoot, i was still uncomfortable using them on location. For this shoot I decided to set up under a bridge in Masterton. There was no day light left, but I was able to recreate the overcast lighting effect with one soft box light.

Studio Lighting for Industrial design #2

- For this shoot I needed to capture the details of the two objects and portray them in a neutral way. This quickly setup studio used one umbrella reflector light in most of the photos
