Draft 1 Jasper James double exposure w5


Artist statement - The composition I have here is a style based off the photographer Jasper James. This composition technique is called multiple exposure. This is when two or more images are blended/faded together to make one whole image. What I did here is that I took a photo of someone and blended it with a SF background image. I manifested jasper James's technique and feel of modern, life, perspective and voice to create this composition. I tried to place my classmates faces and teacher in the sky so that they could be seen easier. Most people are looking outwards or at the person looking at the image. What I tried to do was blend the model into the background, this was difficult because I did not have the best technology. In some photos the sky is above the models face which makes it hard to see so I had to move there body up to the sky. This happened in the photo where the kid in the red shirt looks like he is on top of the building. I struggled with this a little because not all the photos had a low sky line. Overall, I think it worked out in the end and I used the skills of Jasper James to make this composition. Many things can be analyzed from these photos and a lot can be said.

composition 3 asymmetry symmetry balance


artist statement - The three compositions worked on here consist of asymmetry, symmetry and balance. Asymmetry is when there are two subjects of different weight in the image and shape or just one subject over to the side. Symmetry is when the image has two of the same objects on either side of the same wight. This looks like the two speaker image. Balance which is the last composition means that there are two sides of the photo, doesn't matter what variation, shape or weight in real life but just weight in the photo. Both subjects in the image must have the same weight.

 Portrait avedon  -

This composition focuses on the physical state of the person. This style is called avedon. My model named laurel is the person in these portraits. The goal of this assignment is to make the portrait simple but filled with perspective and presence. The composition makes the person looking at the photo see the person in the portrait as simple but complex at the same time. I, as the photographer, try to capture pure emotion. I took many photos to bore my model and get photos when the model is truly relaxed and in a natural state of simplicity. Richard avedon's photos capture the same thing. Simple, full of perspective yet a complex view on the model and a sense of mystery. This is what this composition focuses on.
