Blog 11 - Emulation project

 why did you choose these images? I choose this image because its similar to my kaupapa and the contrast of the colours

How have you emulated your artist? I choose Rinko to emulate because she has soft photos and great contrast of the colour and the edit of the photos

I choose Rinko Kawauchi as my photographer's inspiration

Blog post 9

Blog post nine: Looking at daguerreotypes and faking a darkroom - analogue practices in a digital world.

 Reflect -

why would this be useful in your work? It could be useful by trying to add edited photos to the panels

What mood or feeling does this kind of editing create? It gives the feel of a dark vintage and old type of photo.

How can you develop from here? To make this try to match my theme and just make it soft

Peer critique

Space and balance: In the picture, it got divided by the leading line which is on the front there's grass and on the other side it's tall trees. 

Space and balance: In this photo, it divides by the leading line. At the back, there's white snow and grass. At the front, there's a plate of circle and mandarin. 

Space and balance: There are a lot of spaces in this photo. The part of the water. The leading line makes them separate.

 Forest

ORIGINAL

Forest.edit1 

used: Levels and Curves

Forest.edit2

used: Levels, Curves and Photo filter ( 40 )

Forest.edit3

used: Levels, Curves and Hue/Saturation.

Critique and analyse with your peers what looks best:

The first image is definitely the best looking among the bunch. Compared to edit number 2, the white balance is on point.

Compare to the original and make notes:

Comparing the original photo to these 2 edits makes it different and for the 3 it looks washed out by white and less colour to pop out.

Nature

ORIGINAL

Nature.edit1

used: Levels and Curves

Nature.edit2

used: Levels, Curves and  Photo filter

Nature.edit3

used: Levels, Curves and Hue/Saturation.

Critique and analyse with your peers what looks best:

The first photo is the best-looking edited photo. This is because the image has more contrast and details of the trees and the river in the photo. Compared to the two photos, the first one also has a balance in both highlights and shadows.

Compare to the original and make notes.

The original photo is just like photo 1 but without the edit. The edit makes it stand out.

Duck

ORIGINAL

Duck.edit1

used: Levels and Curves

Duck.edit2

used: Levels, Curves and  Photo filter

Duck.edit3

used: Levels, Curves and Hue/Saturation.

Critique and analyse with your peers what looks best:

The first edit is also the best in these photographs. It has the most contrast and the most balanced among the two images. The last image looks too washed out.

Compare to the original and make notes.

The original photo is just basic but when I edit them it makes it stand out more.

Photogram blog post 6

 

What is the most successful and why?

Among the different kinds of layering, colour and using different kinds of objects. The most successful is the flower with a white flower because it's a very unique technique to do by using a separate photogram and cutting them to overlay into 1 photogram by scanning it again so the result will look like 1 photo with overlay.

What were you trying to achieve when you created these?

What I was trying to achieve was to portray the contrast of different compositions with the flower and different objects to choose which one.

What are your next steps?

My next step would be to create more ideas and make them more lovely and meaningful.

                 

                  

 

 

 

Creating a contact sheet

 For the past few weeks, we been continuously working on our blogs. So for now I'm working on creating my first contact sheet. To create or start an idea.

All of the photos that I took has the technique of close-up and long shot.

It also has a lot of colour contrast eg: warm, has too much exposure and is orange in colour.

What is working well? What worked well is that each of these photos has similar bright lighting and red lighting. But for my future mood board, I will be using bright lighting as my artist is Rinko Kawauchi.

What can be done better?

What can be done better is by focusing on one lighting so it doesn't get mixed up.

For my mood board, I will still need to take more pictures. My contact sheet is only in draft 1 at this point.

Mood board draft one ( Art )

 Here's the first draft that I made so far I'm not quite sure what colour palette I'm gonna be using but for now I'm gonna be using this palette

Also here's the first board draft that I made

So the first picture at the top, I'll be using that as a reference to the board I'm gonna do and I'll be deciding whether I coloured it to B&W or with a coloured and it's from Mark Adams.

The pictures underneath, it's a coloured photo and also they are from William Eggleston and Rinko Kawachi. I took some photos of what I'm doing on my board so which is Location-place with flowers. 

For the last 2 dead flowers.

L3 Art Matrix

 Brainstorm

- Environment

- Lighting

- Focus ( Main subject )

- Location place

The theme I chose is the location-place, sense of place because of what artist I chose and what they took.  Also, the compositions of the lighting were made by 3 different photographers and by the 3 photographers have different focuses or the main subject to take a photo.
