Final Project: Photo emulation

Project Four: Diptychs and Triptychs

 For this part of this project we had to create diptychs and triptychs, a collection of two or three photos

that are viewed as one and have a relationship which each other. We also created a series of kaleidoscope images, where we combined four images and edited them in photoshop.

Dancing orchids- This is made up of three different photos I took of orchids in my house, I loved the lighting and the contrast between the black background. I like the contrast of the background with the orchids vibrant color.

Eyes- One photo I cropped to make it match up and create one image. I like the contrast of his bright blue eyes against the neutral colors of the photo.

Fish- a series of photos I took in Bali, Indonesia. I like this triptych I think it's sort of eerie. I went back and forth between color and black and white but ultimately settled on color.

Cat- A diptych of my cat behind a curtain, I loved the color and glow this photo has.

Pike's Place- A few photos I took while in Seattle, I like how it shows the activity throughout the market, in the second photo I tried to draw the focus away from the people on lightroom and photoshop it didn't work super well but I still like these two photos together.

Old Faithful- A triptych I made of three photos that I took at yellowstone national park earlier this year.

Skiers- Two different photos I took at timberline lodge of skiers on a ski lift. I used an old preset to make the sky yellow.

The city- A kaleidoscope image made up of a photo I took downtown, I rotated the layers and added filters to get this effect.

Autumn- A kaleidoscope image I made from a photo I took of a tree on my street.

Lights-I love this kaleidoscope I think it turned out really interesting, and I like how the lights combined to make little green hearts, I just think that's cute.

Project four: Contrast and Balance.

For this project we had to shoot photos that fell under five categories: Strong contrast in color, scale, and texture and photos representing radial balance and symmetrical balance. My favorite is my photo of orchids that represent a strong contrast in color.

Orchids- Strong contrast in color. I took this photo in my house,  the background is my T.V. to get rid of the reflections on the T.V. I brushed on low exposure till it was dark.

 

   Yellow-Strong contrast in texture. I took this photo on my balcony, I like the contrast in texture from the yellow moss and the metal railing.

Flag- Contrast in scale. A photo I took at timberline lodge this break, I like the contrast in scale between the flag and the mountains.

                                         

Reflection- Symmetrical balance. A photo of a mountain I took this summer in Colorado, I love how the reflection creates a mirror image.

Rose- Radial balance.
