Assignment #7 Collage

Assignment #5 Blending

Assignment #6
In this assignment for the multiple imagery and blending I used different effects in photoshop to make it surreal. I took different images from costa rica and put it on the model, then went into layer effects and used Multiply, Lighten, Difference and Color Dodge. this allows both images to intersect eachother depending on the colors.

Jerry Uelsmann is a well known photographer that does multiple photos putting several images together to make one picture seem surreal. "He is a master printer producing composite photographs with multiple negatives and extensive darkroom work. He uses up to a dozen enlargers at a time to produce his final images."
Maggie Taylor is also a talented photographer who works with digital images and is the wife of Jerry Uelsmann. "She produces prints by scanning objects into a computer using a flatbed scanner, then layering and manipulating these images using Adobe Photoshop into a surrealistic montage."

Motion

The motion pictures I took, I waited for the right moments to shoot preparing my camera in advance and waiting for an expected action to happen. I really like to take motion pictures they have the most feeling. The motion pictures captures moments you can't recreate again so all action pictures I find very original no matter what. I sometimes use no flash to get a vivid movement of lighting effects in the background so the action is emphasized.

Different Effects

The effects that work the best would have to be the different highlights and contrasts aswell as the fill light effect. Tinting also gives it a different view of the image. The effect I like the least is the blurr focus and graduated tint because they are too general in where and what they are focus on, you cant be precise with what you want blurred and what you want tinted.

Walker Evans and Henri Cartier-Bresson

Walker Evans was an American photographer who was famous for his portraits, scenes and effects of the depression. His photography showed the point of views of the american public through their eyes. He concentrated his work also on scenery around him and the conditions people lived in at this time. "As well as this strong documentary aspect, Evans went on to work in an abstract modernist, using the tools of both black-and-white and colour photography to cover both socio-political issues and more conceptual artistic ideas."

"His work uses the stereotypically male large-format, dispassionate viewpoint to emphasize the plight of the American public during this period of economic unrest."

Henri Cartier-Bresson was well known for his technique of "snap shooting". His work displayed images of things or people in action at a precise moment. "his precise eye for design, his self-effacing methods of work, and his literate comments about the theory and practice of photography made him a legendary figure among contemporary photojournalists." His photography was also a reflection of art since he had a talent for painting his studies taught him an eye for composition. "He remained devoted to the 35 mm camera throughout his career. The speed, mobility, the large number of exposures per loading, and, above all, the unobtrusiveness of the little camera perfectly fitted his shy, quicksilver personality."
