Becoming Someone Else

This Photo was inspired by "Become Someone Else" by the Lithuanian  Agency called Love for Mint Vinetu . By taking A Life Apart  and placing it in front of shagun. It was easier being that it was a profile  veiw.

Watermark

 This dyptich photo was taken of Al  using a action, reaction type of  idea. in the first half Al is acting like he is going to hit someone and the photo to the right is Al shying away being scared.

 This Dyptich photo, the left is a smart side that studys hard and cares about there grades. On the right side Cameron is a less caring position while instead of studying he is texting on his phone.

In this Dyptich, my friend, Al, on one side is shuffling all night long. Then on the other, Al is dead tired from shuffling to Party Rock Anthem.

Selective Coloring

Hockey Puck Series

i think alot of these photos came out well except how there is a diffence in backround color. otherwise i think it was a successful project and was interesting to see the final outcome.

My Photo Series

My theme for my Photo series is Dominos. i used a bunch of different angles and i thing that made this Series a success.

Whats a "Series" ?

This photo series was taken by Brandon Luhring. Luhring is a Web Developer,Designer and an art director for Daniel Burton Dean. Luhring gained a degree at ball state and a minor for business managmment however, he focused most on marketing and advertising .When taking this photo  Luhring said it was completely black and the shutter was open, and used the negitives and filters to create this series.
This Series attracted me to this photo was that it was simply black and white but still was very appealing and noticable. I think that in this series the first photo taken was the most successful because that it was unlike the other to , which worked to his advantage.http://www.luhring-design.com/photography/series/kevin/photo-series.html

Surrealism Photo Montage

Actions Speak Louder then Words

I took this photo basing it off the famous quote " Actions Speak Louder then Words."  i took this photo represting it by using hands because they are usually used to make an action. however the quote is not always true  and this is why i choose to add an effect making the hands almost dissapper except the one coming out of my mouth since thats where i wanted the emphises to be.

Where id Rather Be

i choose to use this because mario is a timeless game and is always noticed. i also always loved playing this game and is a past time.

Childhood Recreating

I choose to use this picture because the original photo includes me with a letter from a teacher and the newer photo was me with a acceptance letter to college.

Favorite Button

Surrealism Theme

For my Surrealism Photomontage i would like it to include myself with either an arm or a hand coming out of my mouth. The theme of this photo would be that actions speak louder then words.in order to complete this photo i will need to take photos of myself while either screaming , or being silent as well as multiple pictures  of my arm at different angles. i also plan on have a background as a shings light when i am placed over it or a dark room where you can see other arms coming out of doorways and windows.

Surrealist Artist Inspiration

Ben Goosenes –Born in Belgium as an ad agency art director he started creating photos with a surrealism style. Some of his best pieces have allowed him to receive awards such as the gold and silver medal at the Trierenberg Super Circuit. In each photo he has tried to create his own personal image, and with success. In the last few years you can now find his photos Published in books and magazines.

Max Earnest- A famous painter from German whom dropped out of Bonn University to start his career as a painter. He also became the leader of the Dada movement in Cologne, and later settled in Paris. While in Paris he was noted as one of the Founders of Surrealism.

Only OPENS, When Open for Fantasy

Time taken : 2007

This photo was a great picture and defined surrealism. This photo gives off a sense of mysterious gloomy fantasy , which is what surrealism should commonly represent.  The lighting in the photo played a huge part in this concept, and the usage of a neutral background made it more appealing to the eye and brought out the  focal point of the photo.

Interpretation: I think that for this photo Goossens is trying to tell that when a door opens, when imagination is used. Doors are commonly used as metaphors for opportunity.  this is why included the private sign though opportunity isn’t open all the time however it does come along.

Judgment: I feel like this photo is a success. I believe the lighting and use of contrast colors like the red sign and green grass make it easy to view and easy to understand the photo.

The Fireside Angel

1937

      

In this photo  Earnest used a good sense of colors and gives a happy vibe on the photo. This picture also has a very complex subject matter which allows the viewer to interpret it in any way. To me the meaning of this photo is to express some type of celebration. I get this because of the usage of a bright, intense composition I feel like this was also a success as this picture played a huge part in the history of surrealism and is supposed to almost confuse the viewer in a way of what the subject exactly is.

Compare/ Contrast

These to photos are very similar in a sense that they are both successful in their own way.  Both are a great representation of Surrealism. Both photos are however  very different the fireside angel is more of a complex piece that really has any interpretation that the viewer wishes to give it while , Only Opens, when open for fantasy is a little more straight forward and you  can tell what exactly the subject matter is.

Partner Picture

in this picture i was trying to symbolize my self as almost a king kong type figure. i feel like it came out well although i would have liked to use a different background picture.

David Hockney Inspired Collage

For my portrait i used my father as the subject which workedout well except the lighting and reflections where an issue.

This photo was taken of a pond across my street which i enjoyed because it included alot of things going on in the photo.
