Conceptual Photography

Conceptual project, had to take a metric butt tonne of photos for this one :/

Conceptual Photography

1.

A really professional setup with a good use of lighting and perspective.

This photo clearly took a bit to set up, and it all meshes together into a visually impressive piece

Solid use of photo adjustment to add contrast, but a simple scene leaves something to be desired

A very good angle, but it otherwise left to after editing in mother natures will.

This setup leaves a lot to chance in terms of the paper falling, which could possibly go astray

2. Large use of shadow, They all have a deeper meaning, they all also use lighting creatively, along with using actors to add humanity to the pieces.

3. They all include some form of danger, as well as using a human element to them. They also invoke feelings of loneliness and sorrow. With elements of losing something as well.

4. Image 4 shows a man getting hopelessly lost in the woods, with nothing but a lantern to guide him through the night. Image 1 showcases a tragedy involving the murder of a lover during possibly a honeymoon. Permanently scarring the spouse in the process.

Photo Critiques

Photo 1:

This is a photo of a strained shark barely missing its surprisingly calm prey in what turns out to be a sweet looking action shot. This photo really captures the moment out in the ocean. I like how focused it is on the action, with the out of focus horizen giving it a certain depth to the piece. The sun also reflects off the sharks skin just right, adding the correct contrast to the piece.

This piece Creates a sense of danger and despiration, which is surely required with a shark out of the water.

This is a photo of either a angered or entertained walrus creating quite an impressive set of bubbles, set in whats most likely an exhibit in Seaworld. While its certainly lacking depth. Its contrast is actually leans quite heavily towards the darker side, the only highlights being the bubbles themselves. EIther way there is a certain playfulness to this scene that would be hard to capture again.

Cacticide, A Triptych. Think This one came out real well, for once

Motion project for Photography class

Missing a bunch of index frames, but thats what happens when you have a relative taking the photos :/

10/27

An average man grappling down a woman's face, whom oddly enough doesn't seem to care about the man on his face.
1.A man is grappling down a womans' face.
2. it's an Artistic piece
3. the image is probably photoshopped
4. To have a interesting looking piece
5.it could say something about always being watched
6.The size difference gives this peice a surreal classification

The photo now happens to be a girl staring out over the city scape, and also appears to be a combination of two girls at once. The feeling here seems to be a bit muted and blank as she startes over the urban skyline, almost as if shes lazily looking for something.

Inside me project

A little late, but still got it up in time.

Projects to grade

In terms of The projects I would like graded, I'd like my Fears project and my Inner beauty project to be graded.

A1: Louis Daguerre Was the inventor of photography, which led to his fortune

A2: Portraits and landscape, Rudimentary camera's required immense hours to produce a single photo correctly

A3:

Daguerreotypes,Ambrotypes,Tintypes

A4: A long running series of easy to use cameras produced by Kodak, with a simple one push system, being fairly cheap and simple to use. Technically you could buy one, but it'll be a hand me down.

A5:An art movement spawned from the horrors of WW1, There photography was based on things with little meaning, They were the ones who made collaging.

Hidden Beauty

Hidden Beauty project involving a neat little mushroom colony, seems to be a theme of mine, for some reason...

9/25 Response

I think we can all agree here that keeping the photo as close to the original topic as possible. The matter in this case is to make sure the point of the article is expressed clearly, and if that ends up getting lost by an artists rendition, then the piece fails as a whole.

Forced Perspective: "Not-So-Buff Tin Bottle

A forced perspective project for the class, The arms area bit off, but there not much I can do at this point to alleiviate that.

Is it art?

In all honesty, the answer to this question is a definate yes. The piece clearly shows some form of emotion, yet leaves it up to our interpretation. Art can be flexible in this regard, and its up to us as viewers to fill the gaps. Is he shouting for joy? or anguish? That is up to us to decide.

Fear Project

Where them Projects at?!?:

Since I seem to have none of my projects available to upload, I'll just explain all of the reasons there missing right here

The Animal blend project is most likely lost on my first USB, which could be at either of my houses(Or my Backpack, which seems to be an infinate pocket dimension sometimes.)

The Back to school project shares the sam fate as the ANimal Blend project, and would most likely be uploaded with said project.

The Inside me project actually still has to be done due to an internal(Hah, Ironic) conflict during the main work day, I'll certainly try to work on it when I have time, although for all rights and reasons that's my main zero at this point.

And lastly the fears project is sitting pretty on my SD Card. unfortunatly We don't have a card reader at my current house, and I wanted to upload in order (Which probably isn't a requirement, in hindsight) At any rate, this project will be the first to be posted once I get the chance to do so.

Hopefully that explains my lack of projects. Until then, this blog lies empty :/
