Form Work Dairy
In this lesson  i made a image bank on form and then went out side to shoot photographs of form by using shadows to make the 2D image show the 3D element of the object in the photograph.

 Here are two of my most successful image in showing form. In the first image you can simply see that one side of the wall is in the light and the other side is shadow. Therefore this makes the wall appear 3D in the 2D image.

In my second image the metal trolley is creating shadow of lines all on the wall behind it. This is showing  form because for the trolley to create this shadow it must be 3D.

If i was to continue with form i would like to try and show form on the face as i found this hard in today's lesson due to light not being harsh enough to create strong shadows on the face.

Form Image Bank

 In these first two image half of the object is darker than the other. In the first image the cats face is half in the light and the other half is much darker. In the second image on if the hands is darker than the other. Both of these images effectively show form by half of the object being darker. This is one of the ways of showing an objects 3D nature.

 In the image of the person is creating a shadow on the wall. This shows the audience that the person is 3D and is one of the ways of showing form. In the image of the stairs, the stairs have also created a shadow on the wall. This is making it obvious that the stairs are 3D therefore it this image effectively shows form.

In this image the cup handle is shadowed onto the cup. The fact that this a 2D image, the shadows gives the image more depth is showing that the object(cup) is 3D. Lastly the image of the arch is showing form by the top of the arch being darker and in the shadow and underneath the arch being in the light. Also the shadow of the arch on the floor shows form as it shows the 3D nature of the object

Definition of Form

• accelerating

This first image is showing form as panels in the photograph are making shadows on each other which shows the 3D nature of the image. The mass amount of lines created by the shadows within this photograph, for me creates an element of confusion and mystery. Shadows is just one of the ways of showing the 3D nature of a abject which is in a 2D photograph. 

This image is showing form by the shadows of the building on the grass as we are able to tell that the building is 3D even though it is a 2D image. The longing of the shadows makes the building seem taller than it actually may be as well as showing its 3D nature. The shadows are sharp and solid which could be portraying the building to solid and strong.

In this third image it is showing the shadow of the stairs on to the wall. This is showing form due to the fact that the stairs create a shadow as 2D objects don't create a shadow where as 3D objects do. It almost looks like there are two sets of stairs due to the shadow being very defined and sharp, it appears sturdy enough to be actual stairs. As well as showing the shadow showing the 3D nature of the stair, it also shows how solid it by the darkness of the shadow.

Lastly in this image the shadow underneath the umbrella is showing form as it shows the audience that the object is 3D rather than just 2D within the image. The shadows appear to have a jagged edge which could be portraying the movement of the umbrella in the wind as well as its 3D nature.

My Definition of form is the 3D nature of an object
