Photos for Plan

 

When I first edited this photo the portrait was smaller than the background so you could see the two photos. I though that this would be interesting but it turned out that i though it looked messy and unfinished.

I first made a double exposure out of four small images of the leaves. I remebered how to make the images the same size and changed my mind. I tried the photo in color, but I knew I wanted it to be black and white.

 

I like all of the light and shadows in this photo. I made the protrait be very contrasted in order to counter all of the light and dark in the other photo of the light.

 

This photo is comprised of three seperate photos. I played with the brightness and contrast individually after I had put the together so I could see how it would effect the entire composicion.

 

I do not think that this is my best work. I prefer having a plain portrait of someone. If I were to edit it again I would definetly increase the contrast and maybe layer another photo onto the original two.

 

This is the only photo where I combined an all black and white image with a colored one. I think that it is interesting if you spend time looking at it. It seems never endless...

 

I like the composision of these two photos combined. I really wanted to provide a slippery and watery texture to the photo, almost like a reflection. I think that this photo has a lot of depth and several laers of brightness.

I think that this photo is just okay. I think that the double exposure of the rope and the water/rocks is interesting, but I am not all that happy about the rest.

 

I enjoy the light in this photo. I think that the colors are beautiful, but I do not think that this photo is my style or my best work. Something is off with the composicion.

I like the various layers of light and texture in this photo. It is a triple exposure. There is an image of a seagul with water/reflections in the background, a landscape photo with the golden gate bridge, and a portrait.

 

This is probably my favorite photo. It is a double exposure. I love the colors and the entire composicion. I am lucky to have taken these photos, especially the one of the wood and seed. 

Plan for the next series

For my next series I would like to keep working on the same as my previous series. I would like to do double exposures but edit the original photos first before combining them. I would like to focus on contrast and brightness. For some photos, I might like to make double exposures out of two photos of different sizes or even just layer two photos without changing the opacity. I would also like to combine a photo that is black and white, with a colored one. Finally, depending on the composure of the photo, I would like to flip some photos. I am really unsure of this direction, and how I will be able to make the series cohesive, but I think that it is challenging and it will be interesting if I can pull it off.

Photos for Plan

When I took the photo with the people I had just fineshed working on negative space. I was trying to capture and interesting composition. Then I overlayed the photo with the tower and the streak in the sky. I like the dreamy colors.

The first photo is of the setting sun reflecting off of a glass building downtown. The second is a negative space photo of a telephone pole and trees. I pushed myself to work with colors and I like the result of pale and creamy colors.

 

I thought it would be interesting to combine both a portrait and a background. I like the complexity of the photo. The portrait is also black and white, while the booksshelf and light was taken in color.

I overlayed two photos with similar color composicions. I think that you can really see the care in this photo. The sun shines through creating a warmth, but the second photo literally smashes the sun between the pointer finger and the thumb. These two pictures fit together perfectly.

The photo of the cat was initially blurry. When I combined the two photos creating a double exposure, the sun shone on the cat and created interesting patterns. If I were to edit this photo some more I would want to make the bars and sunlight even and straight.

In both of the photos I increased the darkness and contrast. It made the double exposure turn out better.

I think that this photo is my worse. I think that both of the photos were too simple to be paired together. If I were to do it again I would use the photo of the light and something else. I would also like to try adding another photo to this one (cobine three photos instead of two).

The figures in this photo go together really well. The opacity of the second photo that I pasted onto the first is perfect. I think that there is a perfect amount of transparency.

 

If I were to further edit this photo I would like to increase the contrast especially of the cat. I like the blur of the lights and the hazyness, but I think that everything is too gray, with little highlighting.

 

I think that this is the most deceptive photo. At first it looks like the hand completely coveres the face, but if you look hard and at the right angle you can see all of the facial features. This photo was unexpected and an unusual pairing, but it turned out nicely.
