The Big Jumper Project

We were required to bring in a large
jumper or cardigan and a camera
for a big jumper project. We were put into
groups and one member brought in a
duvet cover. We tried to attach it suitably
around the person, and used elastic bands.
It didn't turn out as well as we hoped, as
you couldn't move around properly,
so we moved onto another idea. 

Here, we borrowed a large 'sock', which
was a lot better  as  movement wasn't
restricted. Various poses were tried, and we
achieved lots of interesting shapes. However,
we wanted to incorporate something else intoour final image (below). 

This is our final image. We had the idea after looking for objects and finding
an umbrella to create a lightbulb. We draped material over the umbrella and enclosed
a torch inside, which would be the top of the lightbulb. The stripey sock was the
base, and we used a photography lamp to light it from behind when the torch
didn't show up properly. It was very hard at the beginning because the light wouldn't
show up, however when we turned the studio lights off, it was too dark. Also, by
turning off the flash, the images were not as sharp as they could be. With a little bit
of editing though, we managed to get a good end photograph.
