Item A Method for Investigating Photographic Visualisation Practices(2013-01-01) Bellette, AaronThis paper will explore the possibilities afforded by the utilization of a head mounted GoPro video camera and subsequent screen capture software in the analysis and subsequent understanding of reflective processes in the creation of photographic imagery.
The method is contextualized within an understanding of the work experience; affect and memory play in a photographer's intentionality. It is also framed by Ansel Adam's ideas on pre-visualization and Jerry Uelsmann's work in post-visualization or 're-visualizing'.
It seeks to understand the extent recall of the environment and experiences impact on the pre-reflective stage and the later editing process with pedagogical implications for teaching photography.
Item Cliff Ghost(2015-01-01) Bellette, AaronCliff Ghost is the exploration of costal region around Catherine Hill Bay. The images examined the effects of coal mining on the local area. This image is from a medium format film and it is a record visual experiences.
Item Composition Purple(2015-06-01) Bellette, AaronThis work was created through an exploration of space and time; it was also a personal exploration of identity. The Composition Purple explored the abstraction of the photographic imagery. The image was taken by the photographer hiding under a doona with light shining through the feathers to create an abstraction and no sense of time or space with a child’s sense of play.
Item Disk.15.14(2015-08-01) Bellette, AaronThe series Disks of Time and Light particularly the work Disk.15.14 is a body of photography, which does not adhere to the traditional illustrative photographic approach where the outer experience is used to trigger an affective response from the viewer, such as capturing a sunset. Rather, it employs a symbolist motif approach aiming to represent affect and cognition, to challenge the viewer’s perceptions and ideas of a traditional landscape photographic image and sunset photography.
Item Leaking Thought(2014-03-01) Bellette, AaronLeaking Thought revolves around dyslexia and ways in which dyslexic artists represent reality in their art. The interior is exterior -Imagination is reality.
Bellette uses different visual modes of thought to rotate, distort and interrogate an image in any way, and still understand it both in terms of its inherent meanings and as a new, purely personal entity.
Item Researching Photographic Participatory Inquiry in an E-Learning Environment(2015-06-01) Holbrook, Allyson; Bellette, Aaron; Grushka, KathrynThis article focuses on the use of Photographic Participatory Inquiry (PPI) in researching the teaching and learning of photography in the e-learning environment. It is an arts-informed method drawing on digital tools to capture collective information as digital artefacts, which can then be accessed and harnessed to build critical and reflective photographic practices. The multimedia tools employed (for example GoPro video and screen capture) are critically discussed for their potential to contribute understanding of photographic artistic practice and the learning of a digital generation. The article may also provide critical insights and inform more nuanced methods for research and scholarship when wishing to investigate the personalized, participatory, and productive pedagogies of a networked learning society.
Item The Embodiment of Photographic Imagery Through the Lens of Time, Light and Memory(2013-01-01) Grushka, Kathryn; Bellette, AaronThe photograph has its own unseen and implied past and future. The lens of memory accesses both the conscious and subconscious thoughts of its creator and audience. The photographer utilizes memory as an embodied experience in the construction of the photograph. Memory is filtered through the prevision experiences, assumptions beliefs, and cultural biases of its creator.
This paper is a theoretical discussion about the way memory, experience and vision can connect the photographer to their photomechanical device, the camera, as an extension of the body. capturing time, light and memory shapes new states of beings and opens possibilities whereby the improbable and the impossible are envisioned as an embodiment of the photographers past, present and future imaginings.
In field of visual art and design education, students must develop skills as inventive designers and photographers who can connect to their embodied past. For the students to achieve embodiment of the image, they need to have control of the technical and aesthetic elements of the photographic medium through the lens of time, light and memory.
