Suzanna Saroff
Discuss Saroff’s work:
Suzanne Saroff takes photos of fractured and skewed images of common foods as seen through vessels filled with water and glass objects. She does this by using water in cylindrical vessels to distort the images of the very thing that fuels us, food, and other naturally occurring entities like flowers. Something interesting about her photography is how she photographs her work by using different objects and changing the positions.
I could work in her style by using more plants and fruits.
To make the work more my own rather than just copying her work, I could also try using techniques.

Development 1: Water Distortion
In this task I took the glass of water around the school to see how it would distort the environment.

In this task I had to photograph the environment reflected in the glass. I wanted to choose better locations than my last set.

it's in a good focus. The locations are more interesting.

If I had tried different shaped glasses.

Instead of photographing through the side of the glass I am photographing through the bottom of it. I wanted to see the different effects this would make.

Explain why you've gone back to bubbles. What are you trying to achieve. Don't just explain what you're doing, explain why.
I have chosen to go bak to bubbles because it looks interesting and it stands out more.

WWW- anything?
The subject I chose to photograph suited the theme as it... reflects the image through the bottle.
EBI
The image is over exposed and too blurred.It also could've been in more focused. The base of the bottle is also too textured.

Introduce this next set and how this will develop your idea
This task links to the theme, ( Reflection ) as it shows that taking pictures of people, streets and buildings doesn't look plain and boring.

How did you create this effect- you need to explain it.
I created this effect by getting a photo, and putting a glass over it and spraying it with water.

They are better than the images from the last set because the last ones were not in focus.
