Project 8 Commercial Portraits and Fine Art Portraits

Project 8 

Commercial Art Portrait 

I took down the brightness and exposure an made the clarity really really sharp and crisp. Then I brought out the red but very densely. Which gives the shoes the extra pop they need to make it look like they are popping out at you. 

Commercial Art Portait

Here I brighten the whites and and tried my best to really darken the blacks. I made the clarity a little bit blurry to give it a softer look. And there are two main things that catch your eye. One happens to be her, the other happens to be the water bottle in her hands.  

Fine Art Portrait

Here I took a lot of the whites up but just enough to make sure that there is glow around his figure. I also took the saturation down a bit but still left a little bit of color, then I took the clarity to the highest point it could be which makes it look really rough and scratchy. 

Fine Art Portrait

Here I used a preset then took the clarity way up and took some of the lightness out and made it look really really rough. And the reason I didn't crop the brick wall out is because I think it makes it more tough and since it's just a wall you don't really focus on it and your eye catches him and just focuses on Q.

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.   

Katerina Plotnikova Fine Art Photography

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.

Wet plate collodion print  - Wet-collodion process, also called collodion process. In the process of making a wet collodion print you have to mix 2 types of chemicals then coat a glass plate with that mixture. That mixture consists of adding soluble iodide with a solution of collodion.

Project 5 Multiple Perspectives

HDR 1: The Old Into The New

Here in this HDR I took all 5 images changed the exposed value and put one main preset on it and it made this photo wicked cool.  

HDR 2: Views Of Scenery
In this HDR I changed the whole color/tint of the picture to a blue-ish purple-ish color to give it a cool feeling like if you were actually sanding looking towards this.  

HDR 3: Hawthorne Black & White
Here I had to add all 5 images into into photoshop and change the exposure value and it was originally bright then I put a preset on it to make it look black and white.  

Motion 1: Views
Here I darkened more of the layers to get a shadowy feeling and point of view of this cool sculpture.

Motion: Hawthorne In Color
I layered 3 images and messed with the whole picture color, changing it to have a red-ish tint and it made the bushes in front look 3-D. 

Panorama: Here I took about 7 different pictures then had to merge together and change it to a warm tint and mood.

Panorama: This was an originally a normal panorama.
