Project 11 Part 1



In this video, I used techniques such as fast panning, slow panning, close up shots, bugs eye shots, and birds eye shots. I enhanced the video by making colors more vibrant and brighter, some shots needed to be slowed down, while others sped up. I also made the video flow with fading and blur transitions along with a ripple transition at the end.

Project 11 Part 2



For this video I also had many panning shots along with some motion shots. I enhanced the video by making the colors darker and making the panning scenes seem panicked. I also used the zoom in and zoom out method and used mostly blur and fade transitions between clips. I believe that the most effective clips were the drinking fountain and the moving swings.

Project 9




Fine Art

The subject in this photo portrays a mood of pride along with a feeling of power. The lighting from the right makes the face shine and reflects nicely off the plain white shirt. 



Fine Art

The face expression of the subject looks deep in thought. The body position is in a power stance. The back is straight while the body is leaning in with one foot forward. The hands are partially in the pockets indicates that the subject has something on their mind.




Magazine Cover

I made this cover black and white to bring in all the colors from the original edited photo. I experimented with different style fonts and colors to achieve a professional looking magazine cover. The subject in the photo looks very concentrated on his task.




Magazine Cover

The subject, photo edits and background look professional for a magazine cover. There are no shadows in the cover photo and the colors contrast nicely together. The subject looks lost in a sense between wonder and confusion.

Project 8


Surrealistic Photo


This is my interpretation of surrealism photography. I made this photo by cropping multiple objects, and layering them all into a single photo. I also messed around with scale and color to make the photo look more surreal.

Project 7 Alternative Processes


Daguerreotype


This is a daguerreotype photo of a rabbit. I was able to edit tis photo on photoshop to give it an old look. I layered the photo with a metallic and concrete textures. I made the subject clear while making the surroundings appear blurred. The fur on the rabbit looks very soft.




Cyanotype


This cyanotype was made using a water color paper texture. I was able to crop out the edges of the photo using a type of fan brush. The photo is tinted in a blue tone to add to the cyanotype effect.




 Gum Bichromate


This gum bichromate was formed using multiple layers of colors, all overlaid over another. The Image also uses a water color paper texture and the bright colors make it look very colorful. The edges are cut off to give an interesting affect to the image.




 Gum Bichromate

This is a gum bichromate of a skateboard out on the road. This was made by layering multiple colors on each over and using techniques such as overlay and lighten on photoshop. I also added a water color paper texture like on the photo above.




Personal Choice


This personal choice is a mix of a daguerreotype and a cyanotype. The tint of the photo makes it a daguerreotype and the rough edges make it look like a cyanotype. I also added a dirty texture to the image to make it look older. I was very pleased to see how this photo had turned out.
