The Decisive
Moment is where the photographer captures a certain moment in a split second
not a half a second more or after because the moment will have past, once it
has past you can never recreate the moment again in terms of location and
people.
For D&ad brief The Decisive Moment I
was to use my own intuition to produce an image that is not disposable but
represents a particular moment in time.
I struggled to spark up any ideas because I
would always end up with an idea, which involved street photography but this
area of photography is very common for the decisive moment so I wanted to stay
away from this. I used prezi as a kind of mind map to spread out my ideas and
see if any ideas had any potential that I could branch off on, the other ideas
I come up with where slow motion and portraiture.
My slow motion idea was to capture water
balloons popping and paint splattering but I didn’t have the right equipment,
In the future I would like to experiment with slow motion photography, as it
looks fun and interesting.
My portraiture idea stemmed from taken
selfies and my passion for portraiture, this seemed to be the best option, as I
wanted to make it personal, none disposable and interestingly funny. I made a
throw away comment to classmates to do funny faces that I had done in the past
but I couldn’t visualise them done professionally. It wasn’t until I was told
do them because of how good the idea was that I become certain I will do them.
I am very happy with my funny face outcomes
and I believe it speaks of the decisive moment because I have captured the
movement and character within the models faces. I produced a set of six images
in a grid because with the type of images I produced a set works well, but I am
aware that the D&ad states one image, which is a shame.
From the set of photos the image of Ben I
believe is the strongest because it represented the decisive moment the most
this is from the movement and character in his face.
