Spring Portfolio

Here is a collection of all of the photos I made for my spring project. During this project, I experimented with many different technical skills, such as lighting and staging. I started off building my collages on the tables but later moved them to the ground so I could make my photos more stable.  I also started using more online archives for my image and text sources. I also experimented with different types of tearing to create texture and mystery. 

 

Collage Photos #3

 For this set, I experimented more with textures and used the same source for many of my other sources for photos and text. Because of this, the first two photos of this set have an increased sense of narrative. I also experimented more with texture and sharpness. This, along with other things changed the legibility of the text I put into my photos.

Spring Project #2

I continued my project of setting up objects and photos (my own and other's) up in order to have an interpretive narrative. For these photos, I focused more on texture, making its presence in the frame much more dramatic. I also made a couple of these photos from mostly one source, instead of the collection of many different sources I mostly did on the last set. However, I made sure to limit the amount of context for the photos to remain mysterious. 

Spring Project (Collages)

For my project, I laid out a collection of objects and photos from various sources. Some of the photos I took in previous projects, while some are from other sources. These photos are designed to have an interpretive narrative. However, they are also supposed to be mysterious, with little context given to the meaning of the writing or other images. 

Class Portrait Set #2

Ben took portraits and then layered images of plants and animals over them, along with a blue filter.

Bethany took photos of people and drew over them with markers. The photo is then scanned, and then sometimes a filter is put over it.

 Hayden layered two images, one of a landscape and over it an image of a person or people. The people are then erased from the image creating a silhouette of landscape where the person used to be.

Jack mostly took images of buildings and upped the saturation and shadows.

Malia took images of the same subject from different angles and composed them on top of each other. At the end of that editing phase, a black and white filter was then added.

Owen took images of interesting textures, and then applied a black and white filter.

Class Portraits Set #1

Ozzie made mirrored images of buildings and hallways with a black and white filter.

David took portraits with an emphasis on expression through the hands, with an edited black and white filter.  Ideally, this photo would be taken on a black background. 

Danny, Pablo and Stefan all did light painting. This type of photo is taken with a still camera on a long exposure setting. A handheld light is then moved around within the frame, creating trails of light.

Tim made photos on a long exposure setting with a still camera. The subjects of the image move and get blurred. The images are edited with a black and white filter.

Winter Project Portfolio

This is the final Portfolio for my Winter Project. My final product are photos with a puzzle like composition,  with recognizable elements hidden underneath the blurry texture that comes with the slow shutter speed motion blur type photos that I experimented with in my artist project. I experimented with many elements in the creation of these photos such as textures, filters, and mirroring.
