Traces – Photoshop Layering

This was probably my strongest image in the Traces project due to the fact that the entire picture is made from mixed media. The piping is traced with pencil, ink and paint, while the marble texture overlay I created with wax and ink, giving the final layered image an old, burnt sort of style.

Sense Of Place (Digital Shots)

These were two of many shots I took to replicate the images I took using film while shooting ‘sense of place’. I uploaded these as I liked the colour and high saturation the camera manually picked up, creating two very vibrant images, however, the said feature didn’t contribute to the sense of drunkenness and ofContinue reading “Sense Of Place (Digital Shots)”

People, Place & Object – Colour Processing (Continued)

Again, I came back to colour processing and decided to upload this due to the colouring in the photo. This is for the project ‘People, Place & Object’ but I may not use it as a final image because of the blue tint in the print, but I thought the symbolism in the shot wasContinue reading “People, Place & Object – Colour Processing (Continued)”

Drawing With Light (Continued)

I came back to this project to print some more images to add to the set and I found this Image really successful due to the light and shadows in the hands

Rock Spa

When I went to the lake district I took this image with a slow shutter speed to capture the movement of water. I then heightened the contrast on photoshop to highlight the ghostly stream of water and its hectic collision with the rocks as it travels on its jouney.

People, Place & Object – Colour Processing

People, Place & Object was a project aimed at engaging with people and street photography. This photo, taken with an analogue camera using colour film, was of a side of a building down Brick Lane in London. My view for the project was how London, the central hub of the country, as built up asContinue reading “People, Place & Object – Colour Processing”

Traces – Imprisoned Light

This image was another picture I created on Photoshop. I was interested in using the background photo because of the symmetry the shadow created. It almost looks like bars on a cell, and therefore I used the tracing of the brick wall again to solidify the concept that the light in the centre of theContinue reading “Traces – Imprisoned Light”

Traces – Light On The Wall

This mini project was to use a range of art media and layering on photoshop to produce an image conveying traces left behind. In this image I combined an imaged I traced on acetate and laying it on photoshop over an image of a spotlight shining down on the wall below. I done this toContinue reading “Traces – Light On The Wall”

Picture This

‘Picture This’ was a group project i participated in at UCA where, as photographers were got to experiement and try out live action filming or animation and vise versa. The main goal was to try new things and to include a variety of media. The above scan is of a storyboard we made for ourContinue reading “Picture This”

Character Study – Final Profile

This is a final profile I produced and mounted which I put together via word by taking print screens.
