Final Post.

The journey, of which I took through this class, has led me many ways to do my concentration.  I started off with dark colors then shifted straight into black and white.  I thought that my message of my concentration would be more effective if I had more monochrome pictures, while still keeping a few colored photos in with my concentration that stuck with my theme.  I started to work with layers in photo shop right away to get use to the idea of possibly mixing two photos together.  When I began working with models, I used the experience that I got, from practicing layers, on the photos of the models I took.  Using the principles of rule of thirds, value and contrast, color and contrast, line and repetition, light, and mood, I shaped my pictures to my advantage to create a world where everything was still, and only one person lived was able to move.  My final images show a world of ruin and decay that leads to only one person in white who is able to move freely in it while the rest stay still and withers away through time.

Final 12

Well, it's taken a really, REALLY long time, but I've finally gotten my final 12 photos, and I'd like your feed back on any, or all of them.

A few pictures from Ireland and one little fun picture to add with it.

So last week I had been in Ireland and I took A Lot of pictures there, but I won't bore you with all 387 of them.  Just a few with one added photoshop one I did.

New Pictures!

 So I went out one night to take more pictures to either have as is, or edit in photo shop.

Spoiler alert, there might be new models in them.  Here are just two of the new photos.

Work in Progress

So I couldn't really finish an image for today's post, but I will show you the process I'm going through to finish it.

More Testing!!!

 So I'm still in the testing process of my layered photos, and some are going great while others are just not working out, as I work in photoshop.  Here are some of my newest test, tell me what you think.

Week three

So I actually made it to the week three post and I've got my five good pictures, most of them being layered.  It took a lot of time to get the right look for each photo and the work has totally payed off.  Tell me what you think, any suggestions, which is your favorite, or how you feel about it's over all mood.

I got to work with my models and edited their pictures in photoshop.  This was really tiring work and I'm happy with the way they turned out.  Here they are, the models are Sophie F and Claudia S.

Testing Layers of Photo Shop

I wanted to see what other layers looked like in photo shop, so I experimented with some photos I didn't use to see what looks right and this is a photo that I came up with.  I'm going to start working with my models tomorrow and then see which layers work well with them and other photo that I've taken in order to get the image I'm trying to set.

Over the weekend I took pictures at night when there was hardly anyone up or about.  Granted there were some people and cars, but it was the right amount that I needed.  I wanted to test how much light my camera needed in order to take the image I either saw, or was trying to create.  These are some of them.  Soon I will be trying to layer some of them with a model that I will work with later.
