Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986)
“Colours and shapes make a more definite statement than words.”
— Georgia O'Keeffe, 1976
An American Icon
Georgia O'Keeffe was one of the most significant and intriguing artists of the twentieth century who painted the beauty of flowers. All her life was devoted to it after her education.
Not only did she painted flowers but also glowing landscapes, and images of bones against the stark desert sky's.
Early Life and Education
Born on November 15, 1887, the second of seven children, Georgia Totto O’Keeffe grew up on a farm near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. As a child she studied art at home. By the time she graduated from high school in 1905, she had determined to make her way into the artist world.
O’Keeffe studied at the Art Institute of Chicago (1905–1906) and the Art Students League in New York (1907–1908).
Below are some examples of flowers that I experimented with, mainly the peach rose flowers. She was my inspiration with other research that i have not said.

Yves Saint Laurent dresses autumn 1965
Designer Yves Saint Laurent, the dresses he designed in autumn 1965.
Yves Saint Laurent was a European fashion designer. He was born on August 1, 1936 in Oran, Algeria and died in 2008.
As a teen, he went to in Paris to work for a designer Christian Dior and gained success for dress designs. In 1966, he launched his own fashion labels, where he made his name in the fashion world for women.
He was the first living designer to receive a solo exhibition in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1983.
He died in Paris from brain cancer.
STILL LIFE AND NATURE
I took inspiration from designer Yves Saint Laurent, the fashion designed in autumn 1965. I have put roses in each box in different times of their blossoming and in the bottom each flower different stages of blossoming times of each flower.
the reason i did this, was to put it in the shop, as some people want roses in different stages of blossoming depending on the special occasion.
There are flowers below at with white background.
metallic on white background
this image was taken in a white tent with a for lights one in each side and one in front of the image.
i had the setting how the white tent was set up but my blogger was all lost some how when using someone's iPod and all the work had to be repeated so not to much writing was repeated image was not saved.
pleased with the above image but the above image was taken in a tent and setting up the stoudio with paper background is not each as
I am pleased with the image above, however i did use the dodg tool in Photoshop and crop tool

portrait with white background
this is a good photo, i feel if the lights on either side were balanced it may have been better, but the lights were a distance from the subject as the paper could not be cut.
did use a crop tool in Photoshop
lights used
2 continuous lights on either side facing more to the background
portrait on white background
I am pleased with the image above, however i did use the dodg tool and the crop tool

lights used
2 continuous lights on either side facing more to the background and the flash
something one can change the background if the subject wants to have a change from a white background to something they want. it is much easier.
this is the original photo that have had no touches and the light settings can be seen
portrait on white background
only
portrait on white background

portrait on white background
this image has not been change but has been cropped
this is the original photo that have had no touches and the light settings can be seen but has been cropped
below is the same photo as the above that had a level key used to make the background image look whiter
in this below image, you can see the roses blossoming in different stages.
the above pitures had some touches like the use of brightness to make the background more whiter
I this above image you can see a simple arrangement of roses with only four roses as the the peach rosed are expensive it is possible to arrange them.
not enough lighting on on side. only two lights were used, due to the paper cutting it was not possible for me to use a light at the back of the image. waiting for paper.
however, did use four lights for metallic and feathers in the white tent, see below.
original but not the above one.

some more portrait on white background
Evaluation
Still life on white background, metallic on white background and portrait , fashion on white background.
THIS WAS A GOOD TASK, FROM IT I LEARNED HAVING A WHITE BACKGROUND MADE THE ITEM STAND OUT BETTER AND THERE IS NOTHING IN THE BACKGROUND TO CONFUSE THE COSTUMER. HOWEVER SAYING THAT SOMETIMES IT DOES HELP IF THERE IS A SIMILAR ITEM IN THE BACKGROUND WHICH CAN EVOKE A PERSON MEMORY TO BUY A ITEM THAT THEY DONT NEED.
SEE BELOW
TO GET A WHITE BACKGROUND IT WAS NOT EASY AND I USED 3 TO 4 WHITE CONTINUOUS LIGHTS.
IT WAS ALSO IMPORTANT TO BALANCE THE LIGHTS OUT WHEN TAHT WERE USES ON EITHER SIDE IF NOT ON CREATED A GREYISH MARK ON WHITE SIDE AND EVEN-THOUGHT DOGE TOOL WAS USED IN PHOTOSHOP, ITS NEVER PERFECT AND ITS TIME CONSUMING IF YOU HAVE LOTS IMAGES TO DO AND YOU ARE ON A TIME SCALE WERE YOU ARE WORKING.
MY BEST PITURES WAS STILL LIFE OF FLOWERS. SEE BELOW,
the image below is of artist piet Mandarin
