FINAL IMAGE - Dan Mountford

This is my image inspired by Dan mountford. When I did an example of his work i really liked his work so I decided to make the technique that i used in his work to be used in my final portrait project. I layered a portrait and a landscape of my choice over each other on Photoshop. Then I lowered the opacity until I was able to see where the portrait is and to decide where i want it to be. Afterwards I added a layer mask on the portrait layer the rubbed away with low opacity until I was satisfied with what part of the landscape was showing. I want to do more like his work in the future too.

Arnold Newman- My own

This is my own image as an example of Arnold Newman's enviroment portrait works. The idea of this photograph and hie work is to capture an image with a background that reflects the enviroment that the person in the picture lives in and experience through their life. As shown in this image the background is an art-pottery room, with paints and pots shown in the image it tells the viewer what kind of enviroment that the model works in. I like this kind of photography as it has meaning and a story behind the image taken this way.

 

Arnold Newman- Artist research

Newman found his vision in the empathy he felt for artists and their work. Although he photographed many personalities. Newman is often credited with being the first photographer to use so-called environmental portraiture, in which the photographer places the subject in a carefully controlled setting to capture the essence of the individual's life and work. Newman normally captured his subjects in their most familiar surroundings with representative visual elements showing their professions and personalities. A musician for instance might be photographed in their recording studio or on stage, a Senator or other politician in their office or a representative building.

Stina Persson - my example

This image inspired by Stina Persson watercolour work. This portrait shows a fashion illustration inspired portrait. In this image the 'watercolour paper' layer is adding a texture to my work o make it more like a painting.  I like how there isn’t any sharp edges and totally looks like it was painted. Also, even though paintings aren't very clear but I like how you can see the model wrapping a section of her hair around her finger. I think i might do something similar to this in my final piece.

STINA PERSSON - Artist research

 

Stina uses a combination of watercolour paints and inks to create vibrant, colourful illustrations with a modern twist. I particularly love how simplistic shapes are transformed with loose watery and painterly effects created when colours bleed, disperse and blend into one another, resulting in usual marks and colours. I like how different images give different vibes as you use different colours to express or show emotons.Her work is simple and fluid in style. I love arty photographs (paint used in the image) for this reason I was instantly drawn to the natural drips, splats and watermarks in her work.

 

My example of Maurizio Galimberti

This is my own photograph inspired by Maurizio Galimberti . I think that this is my favourite piece of work I have done so far in photography. What I did was basically taking pictures of the model as she turns in the chair. As you can see I kept going down with the camera gradually so that you get the full view of what the model is doing .

His collection of mosaic portraits made up of slightly tilted Polaroid photos lined up to show each subject from three different angles. The images seem to capture the celebrities deep in thought, sometimes leaning their head down or placing a hand on their chin. All portraits are arranged in the same order, but the collages are as different as the stars who populate them.

My Example Of Julian Wolkenstein

This Photoshop edit is inspired by the photographer Julian Wolkenstein, where you will be producing two mirror image portraits of my model. An example of this photographer's work can be seen on my before post.

This is an image by Julian Wolkenstein who uses the idea of reflection in their work. Most human faces are not completely symmetrical and this style of image can prove this. I like how you can get two completely different images from one portrait just by flipping half of it.I perticulary like this image as the first time i have seen it i did not know that it was flipped or had anything done to only when i was told so. it's very interesting to see how what we used to believe isnt really true.

MAXIME QUOILINE MY EXAMPLE

This photoshop edit is based on the photographer Maxime Quoilin, where i combined a 'Silhouette' portrait with the 'face-On' portrait. An example of the photographer's work can be seen on my artist research the i have uploded.

Maxime Quoilin

This a famous image by photographer Maxime Quoilin due to how differet the perspective is. The style includes 2 images using the blending mode option on photoshopl. The first image is a silhouette which is a side profile photograph and the second image is shot face-on. The way the images are put together lines some of the facial features up which gives a kind of optical-illusion which i especially like about this image. Another thing I like about this image is how muted the colours are which works well with the bokeh and gives an overall soft look.

Matt Wiseniewski artist reasearch

Image by Matt wiseniewski

Wisniewski has created a particularly successful iteration by overlaying portraits with organic patterns—from flowers to jagged peaks to a Rorschach blot. He came to the combination through experimentation.

For his image of a bearded man in a diaphanous red coat, Wisniewski found an overlay photo that “fit well and had a similar shape to his body.” Although many of his portraits eschew color, the red hue of the overlay image appealed to him. “I just thought it looked interesting.”

He once said "Initially I take a number of portraits and textures I’d like to use and experiment with quick overlays. Once I find a combination that works I’ll expand on it. In terms of technical stuff the actual overlay is as simple as using lighten or multiply in Photoshop. Most of the work is deciding positioning and what parts of each image to show, cleaning things up and matching contrast.

Matt Wisniewski my example

This is my example image inspired by Matt Wisniewski's work. For this photoshoot the theme was fashion so the model did a different kind of  poses. I also took a series of landscape photographs that I could combine with the portrait in photoshop. I imported the images and selected the clothes using the mask tool, then inversed the mask so the clothes were selected and rub them out using the eraser tool at 10% opacity. Which allowed me to  control how much of the portrait was rubbing out and therefore how much the image underneath was coming through. After the double-exposure affect was finished I selected the background using the quick-select tool and painted it white using the brush tool. This gives the fashion magazine affect as there is no distracting details in the background and usually in fashion magizines they add info on the makeup or clothes etc. The white background makes the words easier to read.

Cris wicks II

this is my second type of Cris Wicks work. I did this by taking one of my old portraits of tianna and used it for this kind of work. This time I didn't write the words on a paper and then edited it on Photoshop but instead used a technique to do directly on Photoshop. I like this image more than the other one because I used words and quotes to show how the person in the photo feels. *wants to hide behind the words*
 

CRIS WICKS- artist research

I like Cris Wicks work because the way he layers the words makes quite an impact on me as it somehow it shows the face's features like a real face portrait and the colour blue that he edited on gives a sad feel to the image. In my opinion the colour black for the background is most suitable as if you use any other colour; the image would lose its interesting point. Cris Wicks has more work of his own but I find this particular type of images and editing is most interesting.

CRIS WICKS - my own

This image is based on the artist Cris Wicks, using the idea of the face being made from text.I did this by taking an image of a portrait of myself, and wrote words and quotes on a piece of tracing paper ten turned this to an image making it possible to select the writing and eit it so that the writing is what shows parts of the face. I think I can improve this image by adding more words on it so that more parts of the face are exposed. I could have added more words on photoshop but it was too hard to remember the process of doing it.

BARBARA KRUGER- my example

This my image inspired by Barbara Kruger work. I’ve token several images of positive and negative portraits and chose one for this final image. Using the idea of the face being split in three parts to create a negative portrait, using the statement 'We are not what we seem'.

BARBARA KRUGER- artist research

Barbara Kruger is an American conceptual artist. Much of her work consists of black-and-white photographs overlaid with declarative caption. By 1979, Kruger stopped taking photographs and began to employ found images in her art, mostly from mid-century American print-media sources, with words collaged directly over them like this image and her work because i like how se write bold statements on pictures. I think she wrote this slogan to show that women should not be underestimated and should be taken seriously as they are strong and powerful. I think she chose this specific background image because she's making a serious expression helping the photographer make her statement.

My example of second double exposure of Thomas's work

This is my second example of Thomas's work. it's similar to my previous work but quite different ; darker.

My example of Thomas Couderc's work

This is my image inspired by Thomas Couderc Clement Vauchez photography work. I combined two images that i chose from several other which captures the most emotions shown by the model; one showing anger and the other showing depression. i like this image because it somehow looks like as if the model is stressed out or angry in the inside but totally not showing it on the outside and just looking sad. I used the colour blue to show sadness as it’s a cold colour and the colour to show anger as it’s a hot colour.

Thomas Couderc Clement Vauchez- artist research

This image is by the photographer Thomas Couderc Clement Vauvhez. Bêtes de Mode (Beasts of Fashion). Models were superimposed on to various beasts of the animal kingdom. The works were displayed at Galleries Lafayette Boulevard Hausmann. I like it when he combines the two images in a way making it look as if that model represents that specific animal. What's interesting about this image is how one eye of the model is shown with one eye of the wolf. I will try to do this on my own.

Scott Jarvie- my example

This is my image inspired by Jarvie Window style images. I used a ring flash and a wide angled lens to achieve this affect. I asked Tianna to put her hands in the foreground so they would become slightly distorted by the lens and so it gives the image a different perspective. Her eye colour is very pretty which gives the photograph a nice touch of the colour blue. The photograph makes the audience think that Tianna is watching something that is curious about.

Dan Mountford- my example

This is my own example of Dan Mountford inspired work. I’ve token a multiple of images of landscapes and portraits and finally chose the best to combine and I lowered the opacity to make this transparent effect. I like how the tree texture in the background combines with the girl’s face which gives it that interesting touch that I spoke about before in my artist research on Dan Mountford.

Dan Mountford- artist research

This is an image by Dan Mountford using double exposure. I like this style and i think it is a very interesting and unique concept. I especially like this example because of the added work of the connected dots that show her face structure slightly. I think this is what adds an interesting touch to the image as it shows detail in the face. Mountford has used at least two images to produce this final image. Layering the portrait with an image of trees and buildings, Mountford has added texture to the image. I also like this image because you cannot see the girl's face which makes it anonymous and more intriguing to the viewer.

My own Lucas Simoes

This is my own example of Simoes grid.  I’ve token three images showing different emotions. i used textured templates to get the grid effect that is inspired by Lucas Simoes portrait work.

Lucas Simoes- artist research

This an example of Lucas Simoes portrait work, made by a multiple of images combined together. I like this very unique and different style of work. We used texture templates on top of three different portraits (each portraying a different emotion) and eventually, combined all of the layers to make the desired effect.

Scott Jarvie window- artist research

This is an image taken by Scott Jarvie using a wide angle lens and a flash ring. I find this style really unique and give an interesting point of view which sets his portraits apart from other traditional photographers. By putting the hands on the flash ring they seem much larger as they are closer to the wide angled lens which gives a peculiar affect. The dark background also gives an unusual perspective. The 'window' of the flash is an impressive idea and I had fun when I attempted to recreate this style.

ENVIROMENT PROJECT- final piece

This is my environment project final picture. It's inspired by David Hockney 'joiners' pictures. My joiner image is made up about 30 different images that I have positioned together; one thing I particularly think has worked well is the positioning of different ways to turn the cars wheel around and how the hands show in the pictures too that really works in the style of joinery. The different direction that the wheel is moving to gives a feeling that the car is moving. At the upper right hand side the two pictures of the head could have been improved by cropping it to get rid of the glass window in the pictures which could actually make it look better.
