Two of my Favourite Images

Two if my favourite images would be one of Ifield Community, where I took photos of Ifield and it’s historical heritage, the other of Photoshop, where I did many styles and alterations to a photo by using water paper, pallet knives, mosaics and many more.

The reason why I chose Ifield Community is because Ifield is the oldest village in Crawley and I know the village better than anyone else, I’ve been around the village many times and know it from the back of my hand, taking pictures of historical heritage and modern convince together gives Ifield a wonderful added dimensional background unlike any other.

The reason why I chose Photoshop is because using all sorts of artistic styles and alterations to a photo of me and Jay gives it a new dimension where art and photo form together to create new stylised looks, it’s about altering your photo, giving it a style that you like to have and making it more interesting so it would stand out.

my idea

  • What is your topic?
  • What I'm going to do for my topic would be of Ifield's community
  • What is your purpose (What do you hope to say)?
  • Im hoping to say would be how old Ifield is, what buildings there are, when they were built, where they are built, why they are still here and who lives there.
  • Who is your audience? Who would you like to view your essay?
  • People who might live in Ifield.
  • What pictures do you plan on taking? Write them down before sketching them into a storyboard.
  • The pictures I'm planning on taking would be...
  • 1. Ifield barn Theatre.
  • 2. Ifield Church.
  • 3. Deerwood House.
  • 4. Manor Green College.
  • 5. The Plough Inn.
  • 6. Ifield Parade.
And Ifield Watermill if possible.

National Geographic: China


The difference of these two photos is that the first picture is of a thousand chinese people walking in one direction and the second picture is of the Great Wall of China having a snowstorm during the winter night.
They are similar because the Great Wall of China is a symbol to the chinese people and the chinese people's ancestors built the great wall long ago.
The different books are formatted into pictures first and then journals later, or it could be all journal and no pictures or all pictures and no journal, either way it's all the same, they are all articles on the same subject that the National Geographics show us.

The author would choose the pictures first because if he or she writes out the journal first without knowing the subject by visual, then he or she would've got the wrong facts and the book would be useless without visual facts first.

A book illustrated by photos instead of drawings is accurate, photos provide accurate details while drawings provide fiction, unless you're an artist, otherwise it would be a different story altogether.



The list of my three photo essays would be of the following:
1. Beautiful
2. Insparational
3. Accuracy
