Series Project (draft two)

For my latest post, I continued with my plan. This week's goal was to convey another world using the reflection. Last week i started off this assignment by walking around looking for every reflection i could find. i soon realized that was not the way to do this. THIS week, i walked around and let the reflections come to me. for every reflection i stood there with the camera for a while trying to get the perfect angle to show the reflection. In this weeks post my editing was also quite a bit different. As you can see, it isn't all B&W this week, some i've left the way they are and some i've slightly edited the color.

Series Project (draft one)

This is the draft one of my new series project. For my series i am actually doing two different topics; Shadows&Refections and Portraits. This post is my first draft which contains the Reflections and Shadows. I walked around the neighborhood talking photographs of shop windows and angled myself to get the right shot.

Series Ideas

Series Ideas:
1. Street Photography (2nd Choice)
2. Shadows and Reflections (3rd Choice)

Negative Space

This is my Negative Space Series. For this series, I used reflections, rooflines and skylines, shadows and other various subjects to create a sense of negative space in the camera frame. 

experimental series

For this series, i decided on one style that i found when doing the experimental sketchbook. The style i decided to use was layering on photoshop and editing the layers separately. to do this you use the quick selection tool and use the (+/-) tools to select the right amount of the image you want. after separating the layers i used alot of vibrance, brightness and exposure. 

Experimental Sketchbook

This past week I have been experimenting with two styles of photo editing. I used words to simplistically add a short caption. They are personal thoughts and sayings. In my other photographs, I experimented with  using photoshop. I found that by layering parts of the picture you can use effects to edit the layers separately, showing a very interesting result. 

"The Bird(s)"  I used photoshop to layer, made some edits to the color and used memory stamp to copy parts of the image over and over.

These two photos (the one above and below) are two different versions of what you can do with changing the backgrounds without editing the main color of the photo. For the spikes I used liquefy to change the emotion of the image. For the one above I turned the whites into blacks and darks.

This photo I used the space generated by the camera to frame my wording.

For these two photos (above and below), I used photoshop. I separated the photos by the top and bottom areas and layered them. I increased the brightness on the top part of the picture while putting the bottom in B&W (bottom photo). I then used sepia on iphoto effects to create the picture you see above.

 For these three photos (the one above and the two below) i used captions and separated the groups of words and faded them into the picture if necessary.
