I love how his work sticks to a similar theme and style, as I think it really helps bring his portfolio together. Unfortunately Radwan uses stock images to create his work, so credit can only go out to him for the photomanipulation aspects of these images, but his technical skill is very good, and I find his concepts intriguing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

There is no information about him, or what he does on his page, except that he is another amazing Polish artist (seems as though most of the great surrealist and conceptual artists are from Poland).<br />
I find his work incredibly appealing, as they are all the same subject; a head and shoulders portrait of a man, but he does them so differently and creatively that each piece makes you think of a different emotion or feeling. He classes his work as 'photomanipulations' as they usually start off with a portrait of himself, which he then severely edits and draws over to create his art. I love how dark the emotions are in them, and I find his work very soul baring.<br />

I have done some research into the best methods of getting good star trails, and it seems like the 3 hour mark is the best time to get adequate trails without having to wait around all night.<br />
There are a couple of ways to get a single image of star trails. You can either take seperate 30 second exposures over a 3 hour period (you would end up with 300-400 images) and then blend them together with a program called StarTrails. Or you can use bulb mode and leave expose a single shot over a 3 hour period. Both methods have their pros and cons; If you are taking seperate shots you can see the results so exposure will be easier to get correct. On the other hand it means more post production. If you are just shooting a single image you get what you want straight away and minimal post production is necessary, but if you expose it wrong you have to do it all over again. The noise is also much higher in a single exposure.<br />
In order to do my time lapse of star trails I will be taking seperate 30 second shots and then render them together with a video program, such as Quicktime Player Pro 7.<br />
<br />
I will most likely be shooting my star trails at the burnt out Stomlo observatory, as I like the atmosphere there and I want my foreground to relate to the stars.<br />

The spectacular thing about his images is that he creates them all in camera, which means lining up content takes extreme care and effort. I really love his images as he relates both exposures together really well and aligns them so beautifully. His graphic design background means that he has a real eye for the composition and design aspects that go into his images.<br />
For my second alternative process, I want to look into doing a double exposure using black and white film. It is easy to create a double exposure in photoshop, so I want to challenge myself by doing it all in camera. For my double exposure I am taking inspiration from Mountfords images, as I really adore the combination of studio, and location images, so I will be taking a portrait in the studio and then take landscapes or a macro photograph to coincide with it.<br />

The content in cyanotypes is usually consistent with nature, and most images are of flowers and leaves; this is most likely due to the fact that cyanotypes were often exposed by placing objects on top of the paper (much like a photogram) and flowers and leaves gave the most interesting effects. For my cyanotype I am not sure if I want to keep consistent with the natural style, or try and do something a bit more abstract. If I create an abstract image it will look fairly strange, as cyanotypes are an old style of photography, so are usually seen as having no photomanipulation, so I dont know if I could use this assumption to my advantage or if it would be too over the top.<br />
<br />
Here are some cyanotypes I really admire.<br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">For my surreal composites I intend on doing a similar style to what I did last semester. I want to push the limits of surreal photography and come up with original and interesting ideas. I really like work that can have several confronting meanings, but it is left up to the viewer’s interpretation. My ‘Prosecution’ composite (see above) of the masked man shooting a goat is a prime example of this, as I got many comments about religion, the meat industry and terrorism, but the image itself doesn’t have a set definition.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Last semester I planned my composites very meticulously, but found this was not helpful as I ended up changing all of my ideas. This semester I am going to stay away from any set planning and let my ideas develop as I go, as this is what proved most effective last semester.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5097679140842599696&postID=1554663946167639287&from=pencil" name="_Toc300522982"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">2 Surreal Straight Photographs</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have decided to do surreal work without Photoshop to set myself a challenge. Created abnormal things using Photoshop is not difficult as you can create almost anything that comes to mind. Creating a surreal image straight out of the camera is a complicated process however as the definition of ‘surreal’ is simply not real, but in order to photograph something it has to exist, so trying to make it look out of this world will be quite difficult. I have a few ideas on how I can achieve a surreal image without the use of Photoshop; techniques like multiple exposures and light painting can be done in camera but can create unusual images, so for one of my photographs I intend to use one of these techniques. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">For the other one I will focus on the presentation of the image to make it look surreal. Presenting an image upside down for example can give a photograph a completely different look and meaning, so if I shoot cleverly I will be able to create a surreal image without any in camera, or post production techniques.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5097679140842599696&postID=1554663946167639287&from=pencil" name="_Toc300522983"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">2 </span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Alternative Processes<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have always been interested in alternative processes and I would love to try different techniques to create interesting artworks. I have decided to try and create cyanotypes, as the process is relatively simple and the chemicals are easy to acquire. I really like the look of cyanotypes, as you are able to print on art papers and materials to create beautifully textured works. I will most likely be capturing images digitally and printing out inkjet negatives on transparent paper to then create my cyanotypes. I may also try exposing actual objects, much like a photogram. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">For my other alternative process I will be experimenting with double exposures using black and white film. I have always loved working with black and white film, and creating a double exposure in film gives a very ‘authentic’ appearance to the image, as it is much more challenging than creating something in Photoshop. There are many other alternative processes out there and I intend to do more research and find techniques that interest me and hopefully try them out.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5097679140842599696&postID=1554663946167639287&from=pencil" name="_Toc300522984"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Cover Artworks</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">For my cover art I want to stick to a similar style as my surreal artwork intended for exhibitions, except I am putting the art to commercial use. I want it to be in a similar style as conceptual art with surreal content and bizarre meanings has become my forte and I would want a client hiring me because of my unique and individual approach.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Unlike my other artwork, the cover art will have to be restricted in forms of size, ratio and placement of content, as room for text will be needed. The cover art will also have to be related to the music, or theme of the book. I would like to try and create cover art for local authors and musicians, but this may prove to be a difficult process, so I may end up creating work based on albums and books I really like.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5097679140842599696&postID=1554663946167639287&from=pencil" name="_Toc300522985"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Fusion</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Creating a fusion video will be a new experience for me, as I have not attempted at using video on my camera as of yet. Fusion is a new technique which is becoming increasingly popular, particularly in wedding photography, but it can also be used for advertising or showcasing art. I want to try doing Fusion as I believe that keeping up with new technologies is very important in the photographic industry if you want to make the most out of your career.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">For my fusion entry I want to focus on landscape and nature photography. I have always been interested in landscape and nature, and I would love to create a video to showcase my skills in this genre. Being able to take spectacular photographs and videos of the natural world would give me an advantage if I want to go for a job as a travel or wildlife photographer, which is one of my desired options after the course. In my video I plan to put together a combination of Stills, videos and time lapses to create a beautiful showcase of the natural world. By using a combination of these techniques but shooting the same locations I can create different aspects of the same content which will fit together very nicely in the end product (for example a time lapse of stars and a long exposure photograph). As the Fusion video will be 2 to 5 minutes in length, I will need to take approximately 40 photographs and videos to fill that time (a 4 minute video comprised of 40 pieces allows 6 seconds for each).</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

The backing music I have decided on is <i>Miss You</i> by Trentemoller. It is a beautiful instrumental piece that I find very visually stimulating.</span></div></div></h3>Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15384702877607477343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5097679140842599696.post-36341104136550695752011-09-15T05:01:00.000-07:002011-09-17T06:23:28.869-07:00Semester 6 - Folio Proposal<div class="MsoNoSpacing">For my folio I am going to focus on surreal artwork that could be sold or represented by a gallery or exhibition.

</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The word 'surrealism' comes from the French word 'surréalisme' (sur, meaning beyond + réalisme) and was first used in 1917 by writer </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Guillaume Apollinaire, describing the artistic innovation of Jean Cocteau’s ballet Parade.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism">Surrealism</a> is a cultural movement that emerged in Europe in the 1920s, after the first World War. The movement quickly spread and affected works in literature, arts, music, photography, and even political and philosophical theories. Surrealism grew out of the earlier <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada">Dada</a> movement, which aimed at protesting against the bourgeois culture and colonialist interests by using an early form of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_art">Shock Art</a>; using obscenities, visual puns and scatological humour.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Surrealist art was all about expressing the subconscious mind and creating works with dreamlike qualities. It is often free from any understandable meaning, as the work was a means of exposing the artists inner mind in a bizarre and inconceivable manner.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Surrealism, n.

As the golden age of surrealism was throughout the 1930s, photography and film was only beginning to emerge outside of the specialist realm, so surrealist paintings and sculptures were much more common at the start of the movement. Salvador Dali and Ren<em><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal;">é</span></em> Magritte are two of the most influential surrealist painters, and have many famous works.</span><br />

This means in order to create a surreal image we must either capture the scene in a way that makes it seem 'unreal' or distort it with post processing techniques. The first famous surreal photographer was Man Ray who was best known for his photograms (or as he called them 'rayographs'), in which he would place random objects on developing paper and expose it, thus resulting in silhouettes of the objects he used.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br />

I really like Manalo's work, as it has a very charming simplicity which really appeals to me, as it means focus on the emotion behind the image, rather than the content and detail. The only dissapointing thing about Manalo's work is that he primarily uses stock images, and only takes a few of the photos himself.<br />
<i>"There were a lot of emotions - pain, happiness, love and warmth, glory, success, failures, torture, jealousy, excitement, rage, pride. All these converged and met at a common point in time and space and created who I am, what I want to explore and what I hope to achieve." - </i>Michael V Manalo<br />

After retirement he began creating experimental / surreal photomontages as a hobby. Unlike many surreal photographers work, Goosens images are very crisp and vibrant with an obvious 'advertisement' style, which is presumably influenced by his career in advertising. I really love his concepts, and he has some very interesting ideas, however I prefer the the 'grungier' style of surreal photography.<br />

His long exposures of landscapes are magical, and the contrast and quality of the film really add to his style.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Olivier comes from a very artistic background, both his parents were artists and he was interested in painting and sculpture from a young age, eventually getting into photography and studying art at university. In his website bio he talks about how his photographic background began:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>"My first encounter with photography took place when my parents performed some strange static dances with an object in front of their face. Later they would close themselves up in a special room under the house for long periods of time, and no one was allowed in. They diligently made sure that they were left to their own devices while inside. One day I was given permission to enter the room and allowed to stay, but on the condition that I didn't move or went out. I remember there was a unique chemical perfume and a red light.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I was bewildered: my parents appeared flashing a white light on a piece of paper using a strange apparatus. Then they dipped it into a clear liquid and Behold! I couldn't believe it, a miracle! They were wizards who created pictures."</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: left;">I really love the way he talks about his parents photography, it captures the magic of the old film days so beautifully, and adds a touching child-like innocence to his story.</div><br />
My favourite works of his are his surreal compositions; his work is in my eyes the definition of 'surreal'. His series is called 'Dreamspace' and includes around 50 composites.<br />
I really love Olivier's style, and his dream like images have a very magical aura to them. There is something about them being film like that makes them appear more surreal, as there is little to no hint of photoshop.<br />

Although digital artworks often get confused over which genre they belong, abstract, surreal and conceptual photography are all different and have their own key elements and principles.<br />
There is a fine line between conceptual and surreal photography, as sometimes it is hard to tell if the meaning behind the image was intended or not; the general rule is if the idea for the image was planned and has a clear and understandable meaning, then it is conceptual, but if there is no apparent meaning and the image portrays elements in an unrecognizable way, then it is surreal.<br />

Abstract photography focuses on patterns, and is often taken in a very minimalist way. The image is free of concept and idea, which allows you to focus more on the texture, form and colour of the image. Abstract images are generally straight shots, but often use in camera techniques such as long exposures, shallow depth of field or macro to capture a part of the world we do not generally see.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Conceptual Photography</span></u></div>Conceptual photography is an image that is formulated off an idea or story, and the original concept is much more important than the image that portrays it. A prime example is advertising photography; where the image is trying to sell the 'idea' of the product. As conceptual photography is predominantly used in advertising, it is often taken in a clean, crisp and vibrant style, which may or may not be photoshopped. On general principle conceptual images blend and combine recognizable objects to create humorous or interesting compositions that have very distinct messages. Conceptual photography tends to get mixed up with surreal photography when the concept isn't believable or clear.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Surreal Photography</span></u></div>Surreal photography is defined as 'dreamlike' and portrays things that we wouldn't be able to see outside the realms of our subconscious mind. The meaning behind surreal artworks is left in the eyes of the viewer, as there isn't a specific concept that is depicted. Many surreal artists never have set ideas for their work, they just let the work transform as they create it. Photomanipulation is almost a necessity of surreal photography, as in order to be surreal, it has to not be something that could be seen in real life; textures and filters are often used to give a grungy, desaturated look, to give hint that the image is of something that is 'out of this world'.<br />

The kind of blog entries I intend on doing are:<br />
<br />
Section 1 - Folio Development<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Respond to brief and plan out ideas, including all of the shots I will need and possible locations</li>
<li>Create mood boards for composites to display my ideas and intended style</li>
<li>Write about the techniques I used to create my composites, and post 'in progress' material to make sure I am on track</li>
<li>Post any tutorials I refer to and use for my Photoshop work</li>
<li>After the composites are finished write a summary and a critique of my work</li>
<li>Comment on where I want my work to take me after CIT</li>
</ul><div><br />
</div><div>Section 2 - Context</div><div><ul><li>Post a blog on any photographers I find inspiring and talk about them and there work</li>
<li>Also post any music / stories / events I find inspirational to my ideas</li>
</ul><div><br />
</div><div>Section 3 - Industry</div></div><div><ul><li>Talk about my findings after researching other photographers; what styles are effective and how they achieve them, how they find work etc</li>
<li>Research my chosen field further, and learn the best ways to get work as a photographer and digital artist</li>
<li>Contact other photographers and agencies to find out more information</li>
<li>Report on any photographers contacted, and anything I learn from workshops</li>

<br />
<ul><li>Combining common inanimate objects to create a surreal image is very compelling as people see these objects all of the time, so when they are put out of context they can seem very strange and interesting <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><i>Surrealism as a visual movement had found a method: to expose psychological truth by stripping ordinary objects of their normal significance, in order to create a compelling image that was beyond ordinary formal organization, in order to evoke empathy from the viewer. - taken from wikipedia</i></span></li>
<li>Square crop Vignette really is the way to go</li>
<li>In order to be a good Surreal photographer you have to be European</li>
<li>Overlaying textures is a good way to enhance a surreal image</li>
<li>A very desaturated, one tone look helps blend the image together</li>
<li>You can't plan surreal photography - in order to create an effective a surreal image it has to come from the subconscious, so is therefore rarely planned out. </li>
<li>The aim of Surrealism is to evoke emotion in the viewer</li>

She does amazing photomanipulations by combining ordinary elements to create a dreamlike fantasy. There isn't much I can say about surreal photography, as more often than not the interpretation is up to the individual viewer. Here is what she had to say about her work:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="apple-style-span"><br />
</span></span></div></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><i>"I like using ordinary elements and by combining them, I can give them various stories, personalities. I hope that the meanings of my pictures are never too limited, are open in some way, each viewer can transform them into a personal aspect. So I’m happy if different people find different meanings in my images."</i></span></span><br />

I want my images to convey strong emotions, and have characteristics of a dreamlike state. I will be adopting a surrealist style for my composites, and draw upon photomanipulation artists such as Luis Beltran and Michal Karcz for inspiration (see below for examples). For these composites I intend on shooting the landscapes first, and the studio portraits second. As all of my landscapes will be shot using natural lighting, I have no control over where the light falls, In the studio however I can manipulate the light to match that of the landscapes, therefore making my composites more seamless.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>The shot lists only include the major images I need - most of my composites will include many little aspects and artificial elements.</i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I plan to paint the sky using Photoshop. This is one of my ideas I intend on building on a lot, as I dont have a solid idea of how I want it to look, and I want it to be original.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 Magazine Covers</span></u></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my magazine covers I have chosen 4 different personalities / professions that I can link appropriate backgrounds to. I will be shooting all of my portraits waist up or head and shoulders, as the focus of magazine covers is on the persons face. For this series it doesn't matter if the portrait is shot before the landscapes, as I will not be 'inserting' them into the landscape, merely placing them on top.</span></div><div><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Zoologist</span></u></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first composite is of a zoo keeper or zoologist, so the portrait is going to be someone dressed in khaki with animals behind him.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Clown</span></u></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My second magazine cover is going to be of a clown. It will be an older man with his face painted and a clown suit, with circus tents, a ferris wheel, balloons etc in the background.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Pirate</span></u></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another composite is of a pirate, with an ocean, islands and his ship in the background.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Noblewoman</span></u></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My final magazine cover is of a noble woman, most likely set in the 1800s, with extravagant clothing. In the background will be luscious gardens, a pond and a gazebo.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I have to choose 5 existing campaigns and plan a composite that will fit the campaign. With most of the campaigns I will be shooting the landscapes first and then the portraits. With the product campaigns however it doesn't matter if I shoot the products first as the lighting on products is always perfect.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1.L'Occitane</span></u></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first product composite will be reasonably simple. I will just take a photo of a product in the studio and make a pretty background out of a nice sky and flowers.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJnfkNZzXL_t6OioiJVPbYhFDG3Z1vT_vKd7MO-EH-0l-Dc8E6usiY62VDU9R7Z22ziz5kA05SbrTdx3I278EHC2hcpdFTX_8AKSDEus40JrZNmD0BqJES3qpaUOcnWU38Z1JRX5tcU9pX/s1600/LOccitane+AntiAging.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJnfkNZzXL_t6OioiJVPbYhFDG3Z1vT_vKd7MO-EH-0l-Dc8E6usiY62VDU9R7Z22ziz5kA05SbrTdx3I278EHC2hcpdFTX_8AKSDEus40JrZNmD0BqJES3qpaUOcnWU38Z1JRX5tcU9pX/s1600/LOccitane+AntiAging.jpg" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Panasonic 3D TV</span></u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This composite is based on a graphically drawn advertisement, but I will obviously be using photography. The concept is that the TV is so realistic that the character escapes out of the TV, and the person is telling it to get back in. As I am a beginner in Photoshop painting my character will be of human form, most likely a Spartan warrior.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWIjsQOF2frB9jCCpQYnKY0fql1SqRWYx8be5-34vQAchbAALe9xtRq-Z3FQs6dBQR-YZ7zyBJlOEICERbfIXsZokSLVzDMQ8s7qgZTVuLo3jNbQoSV5MbTnKfYmSgIYYh_6xnDHWzQboy/s1600/panasonic-3d-tv-print-ads-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWIjsQOF2frB9jCCpQYnKY0fql1SqRWYx8be5-34vQAchbAALe9xtRq-Z3FQs6dBQR-YZ7zyBJlOEICERbfIXsZokSLVzDMQ8s7qgZTVuLo3jNbQoSV5MbTnKfYmSgIYYh_6xnDHWzQboy/s320/panasonic-3d-tv-print-ads-01.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

The tagline of this ad is 'Performance Enhanced' and pictures a horse that has been modified to be better. I will be doing a similar thing by modifying a person with computer, car and speaker parts.

There are 12 images in this series all depicting characters from famous fairy tales. The image portrays powerful women figures with a bottle of campari, and often half naked men pining over them. I will be doing a composite of Rapunzel, and have her sitting in a tower with a campari cocktail and a bottle sitting on the sill. A man will be waiting below. I will be painting most of the hair in Photoshop.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic3-F3hYFFrOAxI7G8Dy-hZ6B6olT9L7LAPeZ5poBqbmn8XT43QT3fGXrzlLX9dGXlAM_PlWumrIkSZSU-kYVqzrnO13qE_459s5CvFVYfitaGNfWnVu-skNq05JBHnvPkUJASz0cxgoB0/s1600/campari-april-snowwhite-impulse-small-79539.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic3-F3hYFFrOAxI7G8Dy-hZ6B6olT9L7LAPeZ5poBqbmn8XT43QT3fGXrzlLX9dGXlAM_PlWumrIkSZSU-kYVqzrnO13qE_459s5CvFVYfitaGNfWnVu-skNq05JBHnvPkUJASz0cxgoB0/s320/campari-april-snowwhite-impulse-small-79539.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Originally a painter, Michal has turned to photography and digital software to create realities that are unobtainable through regular dark room techniques.<br />
Michael gets his work by doing cover art for authors and musicians, and has clients throughout Europe and the USA. I really love his work as it is very surreal, yet so realistic, and you can really feel the emotions behind his work.<br />
Michal Karcz is possibly my biggest idol at the moment, as I would love to do the work he does, and I find it absolutely breathtaking the way he can capture such beauty in his art. I would also love to be able to do cover artworks like he does.<br />
I had a very hard time picking example images for my blog as his website has hundreds of amazing pieces, I highly suggest you all check him out!<br />

Throughout the course I have gained a great interest in Adobe Photoshop, and the possibilities it provides in photo manipulation and image composites. My love of capturing amazing landscapes still remains, however now my interest has moved into creating works of art with these landscapes by adding other components (objects, people and artificial elements). I admire surreal work, as it is impossible to capture such things with a single shot, however for composite images to work they have to look convincing. So my goal for this semester is to work on my skills to create realistic image composites in a surreal style (it may sound confusing, but in this context I am using <i>surreal</i> to mean the style and <i>realistic</i> to mean the blending skills). In order to create convincing image composites I am going to work on:<br />
<br />
<ul><li><u>Lighting skills</u> - One of the most important aspects to an image composite looking realistic is the lighting. I need to make sure my lighting in the studio matches the lighting of the landscape.</li>
<li><u>Photoshop blending</u> - I plan to do some tutorials before I start my work to finesse my Photoshop skills</li>
<li><u>Creativity</u> - I plan to challenge my creativity further this year than any other as now we have the freedom to capture almost anything we wish. I want to work on coming up with original ideas, and building on them to create a fantastic final image.</li>
<li><u>Organization</u> - This is a big one for me as I am not normally an organized person. I need to work on that this year so I can make sure all of my work gets finished in time.</li>
</ul><div><br />
</div><div>After third year I would love to continue with my composite imagery. Possible jobs might include working for an advertising agency, or in fashion, but I would love to focus on more artistic pursuits. Doing book and album covers would be an ideal job for me as it includes a lot of composite imagery but also allows me to express my creativity. I also intend on teaching Photoshop classes or workshops on the side.</div>Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15384702877607477343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5097679140842599696.post-30950028370076113672011-02-27T07:25:00.000-08:002011-03-14T01:04:57.808-07:00Album ArtPhotomanipulation is used all the time in CD's, book covers, movie posters etc. and shows a more commercial side to the art of composite imagery. I've started looking into album art and cover art as I find it to be a great possibility of work I can try and get after CIT. I love that although it is commercial work, the photographer often has a great role to play in the design and creativity put into it.<br />
Here are just a few examples of album art that uses photomanipulation:<br />

</div>Luis Beltrán is a Spanish photographer who specializes in surreal and fine art images. He uses a mixture of composites and photomanipulation to create spectacularly strange works of art. He is based in Valencia and does exhibition work for galleries in Spain and the US. His artwork can also be bought as Limited Edition prints on his website for $90 AUD each.<br />

Most of us are pretty familiar with her work and what she does, but her work can not go overlooked in the photomanipulation realm.<br />
<br />
Alexia Sinclair is a Sydney based fine-art photographer and digital artist who specializes in fantasy composites. She is most well known for her two series; <i>The Regal Twelve</i> and <i>The Royal Dozen. </i>In these series she scouted and photographed locations and then combined them with studio portraits.<br />
Alexia Sinclair is my main inspiration for my folio, as I highly admire her style and creativity.<br />
<br />
Alexia gets her work by producing images for exhibition and by doing commercial and private commissions. She also sells her artworks as limited edition collectors prints and hosts various workshops.<br />
<br />
<u>The Regal Twelve</u><br />
Alexia traveled to Europe to capture backgrounds for her series of twelve european queens. They are captured in a dark, yet elegant style and I love the intricacy of the props and fashion. The series includes monarchs such as Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth and Marie Antoinette. What makes this series more interesting than other composite work is that it is of real people, which makes it more engaging to the viewer, as the you can work out who the person in the image is based on the props and background.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<br />
<u>The Royal Dozen</u><br />
This is the male version of the Regal Twelve, and is my favourite of her works so far. Again, what I think makes it work particularly well is that it is of real people, and her work really explores the history and personality of each person. As with the Regal Twelve, she traveled predominantly in Europe to capture the location images, and then returned to Australia to do the studio portraits. The Noble men she chose for this series was based on their controversial leadership and influence on society, and included men such as Alexander the Great, Genghis Kahn and Napoleon.<br />
