Alex experimental work
background coloured to remove the handle of the door. the settings on the camera were used for the experimental pinhole images, see below.
happy with the above picture as i wanted the light to fall on the face only. the black door was used for the background.
1b-, hair colour, eyes, eye shadow, lip colour and blusher has been changes
1c-, hair colour, eyes, eye shadow, lip colour and blusher has been changes
in the above the piture show only the face warped ihn water.
the top two images show a regular before HDR (left) and after HDR (right) back lit portrait. The bottom images show a before and after of an HDR image taken after tapping to focus on the subject's face.
happy with the above picture as i wanted the light to fall on the face only. the black door was used for the background.
this image is slightly litter than the above because sometimes when it comes to printing the darker picture does not print so well.
original pinhole exposure which was processed in HDR
original pinhole exposure , no changes made to the above image.
Was pleased with settings but the images was blurry so ned to work on that. However, was expecting a
fish eye image but it was not maybe if i did a building or stairs it may work better.

original slightly less light on the face than the one below.

First attempt on light painting above and below was my first attempt
letter and colour wheel opposite colour experimental work.
Colours have been changed. Found that opposite colours may work better on food than people or for advertisement to remind you of food wrappings.
I think if the all the images of the letters were of same colour tone may work better.
This above image, all the colours have been changed the eyes, hair lip colour etc, and then it went into HDR procces. The yellow of the background light with purple works good as they are the opposite colours in the colour wheel and the trouser was black at the start. They is some noise on the yellow background that can be removed but, i liked it because it gives a thick paining texture.
If the model is wearing light outfit its easy to change the colours than if the model had black hair.

hair colour, eyes, eye shadow, lip colour and blusher has been changes known as HAND -COLOUR, the same treatment can be on a old black and colour image.
The background colour has also changed to a cooler lavender.
3 more example are below.
1d-, hair colour, eyes, eye shadow, lip colour and blusher has been changes
these above image and below were in brown and white shades and colours to the cheeks, eyes and lips have been painted on. The colours are only there top and below of the picture as very old pictures usually are damaged on the edges.

Abstract, colour has been changed and went into HDR
Tried to create a 3Dimage embossed metal, (see below) used a few keys in photoshop and used Dodge & Burn to add highlights and shadows. pleased with the results but feel need to look and more real painting to see were the shadows and were light falls on the pictures.

Could not find any information on how the image was created by the artist.
the above is by maritte

this is a experimental taking the above into account
image -processed, EMBOSS
(Photoshop, filter-sterilizer-emboss)
THEN IT WENT FURTHER INTO HDR

I did the above image by taking into account the image below but as i had less time I did and easy pictures as i did not haqve much time, but will take it further at a later stage

two above are abstracts
in the above the piture show only the face warped ihn water.
there is more noise in the images because photomatix was not working and the HDR in Photoshop does not remove noise so well. However, i like the above background texture more than the one below.

feel opposite colour may work better with food or with images to remind people of food.

image taken at the cannock chase of the open bark with moss. the reason i took this images was the way it was split at near the roots yet it was living and how life is important to any living thing and maybe the branches and the leaves are one whole family.
what i like about it -mthe colours, the texture, the shape, the outer bark texture and this tree may be a one off.
process it in HDR has not been cropped

Assignment 1
|
Experimental: Produce Experimental Imagery
|
This
assignment covers
Grading Criteria 1,2, 3 & 4 of Unit 32: Experimental Imagery in Photography and Unit 2: Materials
Techniques and Processes in Art & Design
[See Grading
Criteria section for details]
|
|
The purpose of this assignment
is to:
Develop an understanding of experimental techniques and ideas in
photography.
|
|
Scenario:
Artists and
designers use technology, both new and traditional, to push the boundaries of
image making, by exploring new ways to use materials, techniques and
subjects. Diverse photographic media have often been brought together with
this aim. This approach is considered a valuable and creative means of
communicating intentions.
You are
required to explore on or more ‘experimental’ techniques from the list below.
Once you have researched both the technique and the work of other people
using a similar technique, you will need to present at least 8 photographs as
well as an analysis of the work you have produced.
|
|
The Brief:
You have been asked
to participate in an exhibition of experimental photography. For this
exhibition, the organisers have asked artists to submit at least 8 images
showing experimental imagery. 4 of these are to use HDR (at least one using
bracketing) and the other 4 images to use other experimental techniques.
You can choose from
one of the styles/techniques below or use one of your own. You may even
produce a final set which explores a range of techniques, but each technique
needs to include some research.
HDR,
hand-colouring, posterisation, sabattier, infrared, digital (image
manipulation, 3D software, projection onto fabrics, buildings, sequences,
moving image, installations, interactive, collaborative), pinhole, exposure
effects, multiple exposure, night exposure, lighting techniques, strobe,
mixed projection lighting.
Note: the
emphasis in this assignment is on experimentation. This involves testing and
developing the skills, evidence of which needs to be supplied.

|
Task 1
|
Ideas, research and test techniques (U32: P1, P3, M1) (U2:P1, M1,
M2)
|
Completion Date: 2nd
October
|
·
Research
Look at the work of at other
photographers to give you some ideas about the sort of images you want to
make. You will need to select at least one image for each of the 4 techniques you will choose.
o Research the techniques and experiment
with it. Keep a record of your work and it’s probably a good idea to note
down your thoughts as you go.
o Once you have an idea of what you need to
do, plan out you project i.e. where and when you will go, computer settings
etc.
o Create a Blogger entry for each of the techniques. You need to
title each entry beginning with the word ‘Experimental’ for easy
identification.
|
||
Task 2
|
Create images and make selection (U32: P2, M1) (U2: P2, M2)
|
Completion Date: 16th
October
|
·
Resources
o Take some exploratory photographs to
develop the skills you need. Keep all stages of experimentation and annotate
each stage. Failures are as important as successes at this stage.
o Produce a set of final images
o Upload your experimental and final work
onto your Blog
|
||
Task 3
|
Review own work produced
(U32, P3, P4, M2, D1) (U2: P3, D1)
|
Completion Date: 23rd
October
|
· Reflect on the
whole process. This will include your inspirations and also your plan and the
images you have chosen.
· Evaluate the
process – what could have been better?
Did the work of the practitioners you looked at help you with your
project? Did anything change during the project?
·
Evaluate the images – how good are they? Did they
meet up to your expectations? How do they compare to the work you have looked
at?
· Discuss the
techniques you have used e.g. you may want to look at what people have
said about HDR – it is an exciting recent development and there are many
people for and against
