Eyelashes

As most of us know, our eyelashes are there to protect our eyes therefore they are taking care of our vision. I decided to do some typography with false eyelashes to see what effect i could get and wrote the word 'protect'.

Photographs

To produce photographs related to my subject was a difficult task, whilst researching photographers i came across a partially blind photographer called Craig Royal, he specialised taking photographs of light reflections in water which i found quite interesting.


I am really pleased with my outcome, i think there are some really intersting photographs here, the only problem with this is that i think it answers the textures brief instead of the photography brief. When I was researching Craig Royal he said the thing he would like to see the most is detail, this made me thing about macro photography as it is specifically focused on detail, sometimes the camera picks up detail that our eye doesn't even see. I then came across the photographer called Nick Soefje, he gave his attention to detail in his photographs and one thing he like to photograph was eyes which are appropriate for my project. I then started to take photographs of my own eye.




I tried to capture as much detail as i could , i really like the angles of the eyes. I prefered the photographs in black and white because i thought they looked more striking and had more of an impact than the coloured ones.

Visual Research

This next task was to produce a piece of reseach in a visual way. I used my research on impaired vision and presented it around the eye and the words are tangled with the eyelashes.

Textures

Here I created some textured associated with vision, at first I found this task really hard, but after research and lots of thinking I came up with some good ideas. This first set of textures were to express how our vision can be obstructed through dirty glass, mist or rain.

This second set of textures were to express blured and disorted vision, I created these by using a slow shutter speed on the camera and moving the camera in a fast motion to get these blured movement effects. I really like them and love the colours within them, I like the soft, delacate effect they have and are quite calming.

These textures were done with the use of light, I thought this was appropriate because light plays a very important part in our vision. They are done in the style of Alan Jaras, he passes light through patterned glass to get these interesting patterns, his were more colourful than mine so in the next set of textures I put them in photoshop to add colour like the colour in his photographs.
