Chapbook research: The Fairy Stories of Oscar Wilde

-
Today I would love to show and express ideas and style of writing which I was inspired in my research for chapbook " The soul with green eyes". One of main book witch inspired me is "The Fairy Stories of Oscar Wilde" of famous author.


One of famous story in this book is The Happy Prince, the classic fairy tale with rich language, deep world of imagery and interesting themes. Wilde's writing style is characterised as elegance and emotional deep. Author created a beautiful story, with help of language and describing details. Thought created descriptions, Wilde transfers readers to atmospheric city with busy streets.

Another aspect of Oscar Wiled story is impressed combination of world reality with world of fantasy. I really love how author express love, comparison and self-sacrifice. Supernatural with the real-world issues, reader just deeply involved to the story. Huge significant is taken to moral in sociality in this short story. Through the interaction between the Happy Prince and the Swallow, Wilde explores the themes of wealth inequality, social injustice and the true meaning of happiness. "It captures the reality of life. It does not have dreamy endings, become life does not have dreamy endings. It is a collection of short stories for children, but I don’t think I as a child was able to appreciate the irony and dark humour that exists in this book." (Bora, 2022)

In my story "The soul with green eyes" I would love to take some techniques with use Oscar Wild in him book, there is about beautiful and detail expressing of environment and about morality and essence of happiness and values with I would like to show in my own story.

Today we will create our new photo-project during our classwork witch called "Above & Below" here we will practice to create different angels shoots and setting up the camera. Also we will work with different light and practice portrait photography.  Sounds interesting, so let's have a start!  Class research During the class, we looked at different variations of the photographs showing Kate Moss and the work of Terry O'Neill. After looking at more of this photographer's work, I identified my favourite: Faye Dunaway At the Pool This photo shows the American actress Faye Dunaway the morning after the Oscars. I like the impression she conveys through the photo, a feeling of being slightly tired of everything. This photo also conveys a calm luxury, a woman completely alone by the pool in a gorgeous dress looking directly into the camera, with a lot of news from the newspapers about last night's Oscars under her feet, but she looks so calm, as if she doesn'

Hey Team! Today I would like to start my practical steps the main photo project. On my previous blog post  I have already shown the initial ideas and plan for my main photo shoot. In this post, I want to show my model for the shoot, the location and of course process.  The issues addressed in this shoot are quite personal to me, so I wanted to express them through someone who could feel and understand them. I decided to share the idea with my classmate, who became my model for the portrait shoot. Then we were thinking about location for shooting and went to Victoria park in Leicester together on Sunday sunset time, around 15.00 pm. I choose to use my old camera Nikon D3000 and some sitings with lighting. First of all ISO 200, F 5.6 and exposure -0.3. I wanted to create effect of a bit of blurry photo, so was changing ISO from 200 to 400 and several times change exposure from 0.0 to -0.7 There is result witch I got and download to the Contact sheets: In this shooting I managed to create

Initial Ideas & Planing for Photography project

Hi team! Today I will be researching and planing my thoughts and ideas about portrait photography, and I am really exited to start! I was thinking for a long time about what idea I wanted to express and show through portrait photography, and then I recalled that I have been really interested in the psychology of human behaviour for the last three years, reading books, articles and listening to lectures about psychology. So I wanted to connect my personal hobby with the photography. At the moment, it sounds quite confusing and perhaps difficult to put into a photograph, but step by step I believe this interesting idea will be possible to present. Step 1: Planing  Firs of all,  I started with planning on a piece of paper and wrote down a few ideas that came to mind, described what it looked like in my head and what I needed to realise the plan. I separated this plan into three parts, including the main issue I want to address in my portrait shoot.  I also decided that my photo would be n
