Using Adobe Bridge

Adobe Bridge is essentially a program for the categorising of photos. This could prove to be extremely helpful later on, particularly when we begin to take more and more photo's. it will prove essential when selecting the good from the bad and sorting those chosen photographs in an easy and manageable way.

As shown here, we have collected a large verity of photos, and have searched through and rated all of these in as either a Reject or using a star rating to narrow them down to the ones we actually want. this rating is based on creativity and technical quality

After the process is completed, we are left with the final ten photos that are now ready to use.

LO2 Concept description

My concept for how to capture creative and digital sheffield:

I will capture a collection of photo all showing different aspects of sheffield. These will deliberately contrast, having advanced areas shown against the older areas. The images will then be dissected. One half of each photo will be of a well built, technologically advanced area of Sheffield. The other half of each photo will be a greyscale image of a more run down or industrial are of the City.

This contrast should be good for showing how much sheffield can change depending on the area you are in. This will require double the amount of photographs required, as each one will be half of a whole image edited on photoshop.

Otherwise, I will do the same thing, colour, wide angle shots to show how advanced some areas of the city are, and the greyscale photos will still be used to show the older side of the City. These will then be shown alternating between greyscale and colour images.

Ideas for colour images:
1. The fountain/ Peace gardens
2. The orb fountains outside the winter gardens and the winter gardens themselves
3. Millenium Galleries
4. The Crucible
5. Fargate/ High street

Ideas for greyscale images:
1. The Court room
2. Buildings near the river/ old industrial quarter (Kelham island)
3. The site of the Tinselly towers
4. Totley
5. Bus stop

Sheffield Photographers and Bulb photography.

Bulb Photography:
Bulb photography is a type of photography, a reference to old photography, where the bulb was an air bubble that would open the shutter and allow the lens to capture an image. In modern photography, bulb photography is when the shutter speed is adjusted on a modern camera (controlled by the photographer) to allow for long exposure.

The following photographers are famous sheffield photographers:
-Chris Saunders (portrait and music)
-Mark Harvey (ID8 Photography corporate events, editorial)
-Duncan Philpott


Chris Saunders
Chris Saunders has been a photographer for over 10 years, during which time he has photographed many well known authors, actors, film directors, musicians, comedians and had the resulting work published in numerous publications worldwide. 

 The Guardian, The Observer, Sony, EMI, Universal Records, Random House Publishing, & Harper Collins Publishing are all clients of Chris Saunders.
He has photographed award winning actors, guitarists & many famous film directors, authors, comedians, & musicians.  

He is passionate about his works, starting from an early age to follow his dream. he doesn't class himself as anything special, and works in the same style as many other famous Portrait photographers

This is one of his photographs, a picture of Derren brown, the famous illusionist.  His images are supposed to capture the personality of their subjects.  In this image, He is wearing a large coat, his body turned away and the collar turned up to obscure part of his face. All of these aspects give the subject a feeling of mystery, and given the nature of Derren Brown's works, makes sense.

Mark Harvey D8 is all about getting the shots that they claim other photographers neglect, The world as it is, not filtered, not set up, no fancy lighting, no doctoring of images. they try to capture the world and not the personality of a single person or place. even then, they still require editorial images that are designed to impress. based in sheffield, they now take images for many famous companies, usually of sheffield city. As stated before, the images, while angled in a specific way, hide very little and are not particularly focused on any one subject. they are more of the environment itself, trying to capture the heart of the area rather than of a specific landmark or person. The first image is particularly vindictive of this, as there is no discernible landmark to draw the eye, just the landscape as it is. Duncan Philpott  Duncan Philpott is part of a company known as Steel City Media. The company hit it's stride when he moved to Sheffield and studied mathematics. His first images were small projects for editorial companies, but evolved into working for a range of editorial and commercial clients as well as following the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup series across the globe. Being a sports photographer, the images need to reflect the pace and action of the said sport, in this case the UCI Mountain bike world cup. The sport is fast paced and action packed, so the images need to capture that. the angles are usually ground based, making the bikes look considerably larger than they are. The flames of the last image are likely photo shopped in for effect. The second image is interesting, as all of the screen besides the actual bike in the race.
