Artist Project Draft #1

My project was inspired by Kevin Bjorke's liquidity project which can be found here: (https://goo.gl/RBLqVf


My goal with this project was to capture motion in a still photo with a clear sense of direction. My photos may be abstract, or more clear. I try to make the tone of these photos mysterious, where it way not be initially clear what you are looking at while still having a subject to focus on. 

The recipe for creating these photos is a camera with a darkening lens. I change the camera settings to lower the shutter speed depending on how much blur I want, and how much I want within the frame. To take the photo I point my camera at, or next to the subject and move the camera in various directions. I usually taking several photos of the same subject with the camera moving different ways. After the photos are taken I edit them by putting on a Black and White filter, doing any necessary cropping, and then adjusting the exposure to fit the mood of the series.

  1. Greeting Declan. Your work truly emulates your artists work. He also captures people in his photos and I think that would be an interesting direction for you to go with the next batch. Great work!

  2. Hey Declan. I really enjoy all of these photos and how sophisticated they are. These photos are great and really show the goal of your photographer to capture motion in a still photo. I like how you incorporated light into some of these photos, its really cool. Great job on this set!

  3. I like the mood that all of the photos portray in that each photo says, "time passes really fast".

  4. I think you did a really good job with capturing the blur and most of the photos appear to have a sense of direction but some seem to me to just be blurry without direction. Other than that great work

  5. I like the framing of the shots and how you made it clear that there was a lot of movement going on in the frame.
