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.

LO1 Photograph analysis

This image is good, as the subject's shoulders are visible and his head is fairly centred. However, it is slightly too low and a little to the right. Ideally the subject should have been slightly closer and elevated, or if the camera was lowered.

This photo has some issues, but  shoulders are not visible. however, the subject of this photo is considerably more centred. It would be preferable if the target was slightly farther back

This photo again, has issues. The subject is well centred, but again too short and leaves a considerably larger amount of room above the head than desired.

This images framing is done well, but it appears that not all of the subjects were ready when the image was taken, as positioning of each subject differs.

This image is one of the best images. head room implies thought, the framing of the shot is well done, and the subjects are well positioned in the image itself.

The main problem with this image is that the subjects are poorly positioned. The subject on the right is partially out of frame, and at a different angle to the other two.

While it is not as important as in the portrait images, it would have been preferable if more of the subject was in the image, shoulders, tie etc.

This doesn't suffer from the same problems as previous images, the subject is much more centred and is brought considerably closer to the camera, as intended.

While more of the subject is visible, the issue persists here that it loses the effect of making he subject appear larger than it is. The camera needed to be positioned at a steeper angle to give such an appearance.

Despite what may appear to be a joke image, this actually is a good shot. Both subjects are well positioned in the shot, with focus on the left half of the image.

A similar image, however with less focus on the left side of the image, considering that both subjects are fairly central.

Similar to previous shots, this one succeeds greatest on positioning as both subjects are well centred and focused on.

Being a wide angle shot, this needed to capture as much of the environment as possible. in that respect it succeeds. The tree in the foreground helps to draw the eye as well.

This is a good example of leading lines in the image, as the roof of building to the right and the flower bed both help guide you through the image to the horizon and the skyline.
