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.
