Project 8 Pre work



Katerina Plotnikova Fine Art Photography 

I like this photo because of the interesting concept of it. It's unique and rare, which makes the photo so cool. Not often you see a woman putting their face on a fox. I also love the head dress, because she may be Native American which would be even cooler because so am I.

I like this portrait because of the way the photographer made the lights pop and blur the background. Also love how this photo has a tone and mood that it gives off. Also love how the model was able to get so close to the wolf. 


Raven Varona Commercial Art Photography

I like this photo because of the lights and how it brings out this very vibrant but settle tone. I also like how you get a feeling of being off balance but at the same time stable because the model is clearly holding onto an object that keeps her from falling over. I also love the shoes because they are the best type of Jordan brand shoes called Carmine 6's which are limited addition. 


Liz Barclay Commercial Art Photography

i like this photo because each pair of shoes cost $250 and because of the way the light hits the shoes makes them pop with color. I also like this photo because its's Oregon Duck shoes not often you see shoes like this.

Project 7 Surrealism and Photo Montage

Project 7: We learned how to make surrealism artwork. Which was basically a concept of randomness and fun, weird things. I had a very fun time making these photos but coming up with ideas were very hard and stressful.  




Misdirection

I took the statue from pioneer square and place him and gave him a darker transparent look to it so it wasn't just a solid figure. I also took a famous street sign which had like 30 different street names all pointing in different directions and made that sorta invisible a which made the statue almost give off a feeling of he is pointing at the sign. 



Baby's

In this photo I originally capture with my girlfriend in it and I decided to put a $20 dollar bill inside of the piece she was looking at. Then Ms.Abens my photography teacher advised me to but my nephew in it as well. Which turned out pretty cool. 


Revenge Of The Hydro's

In this photo I was messing around and I realized that I have tons of Hydro Flask's and it would cool if I made a collage sorta kinda. It isn't the best but it isn't that bad.

Project 6

Project 6
In this project we experimented with 3 new different types of editing photos, Cyanotype, Gum Bichromate, and Wet Plates. Three very different and fun types of editing and making.   


Cyanotype: 
I used a water style type of brush and just started clicking around and dragging my brush around to make it look really cool. Then put a cool blue tint on it and I used a water splashing type of brush because we were on a field trip at the fountains in Portland.   


Cyanotype: 
I be a radial balance on this photo and made sure to make it look cool and forestry. I used a light brush to almost set the tone and give it a cloudy and spooky feel towards the photo. 


Gum Bichromate: 
I took this photo in Alaska with some of my team and I put some bright vibrant colors on it and you can sort of see the colors in it but I really like it because it looks fun and happy. 


 

Gum Bichromate w/o a tint: 
I was just messing around in class and didn't put a filter on it just to see what it would look like and i think it looks really fun and playful.   


Gum Bichromate:
I originally took this standing under a tree like the one above but it is a totally different picture with a totally different edits. I set a tint to this originally and added orange to the edges and also a light yellow over all of that.   


Wet Plate: 
I used 3 different textures 1 being a rust, 2 being a mossy filter, 3 being a crackle, I forgot to add a border to this picture but it still looks pretty cool.    


Wet Plate:
I took this on the patio of Lincoln High School and it was a picture of the trees and I had to capture it. The layers and textures give this old throwback look to this picture.
