Multi-frame Storytelling

I approached this assignment this week by trying to piece two images together that contained similar elements, flow, or possessed a common theme. I tried to solve by editing my images down perfectly after finding two spots that would work together outside. Some things I did while editing were; adjusting the exposure, finding the best balance of black and white levels, and the surrounding textures: the frame. The first multi-frame here is supposed to represent similarity while being separated. The second multi-frame is supposed to show two similar shapes, two people, that were showing emotion. And on the last multi-frame image, I showed two angles and takes on street life, with things like cars and trees to add to the piece.

The cohesiveness of this set can be seen through its common quality of dullness and relatively pastel color. No picture here is overly busy or vibrant. 

Fall Draft 4

For this week's blog post my goals were to explore two different themes, one that contained more pastel and dull colors and remained not busy, and another one that focused more on very colorful bokeh balls created from the camera. There are two tones/vibes of this post, like I mentioned before, a dull and nonbusy one, and a colorful bokeh ball one. My recipe for this one was to keep in mind my goal for each of the tones when I was trying to photograph them respectively. 

Fall Draft 2

This week I tried to change up what I was doing, I went for less of a subject in the frame and more of a mix and mash of colors and shapes. Overall, my goal was to allow the viewer to try and make out a subject/focus of the frame themselves, like Uta Barth. The overall tone/vibe of these images is a more dull and simple design. My visual recipe was: take out of focus pictures, capture street life, nature, and rooms only, and photograph more simple imagery, rather than busy.

Fall Draft 1

Last week we presented on our artist that we chose, and this week we moved into emulating that artist's work through our own individual pieces. The artist was Uta Barth. My goals for this first draft were to properly emulate some of her photos. In order to do this, I had to stick to a visual recipe, which is this: take out of focus pictures, capture street life, nature, and rooms only, and photograph more simple imagery, rather than busy. The overall tone/vibe of these images is a more dull and simple design. Although I do have two images that are colorful, the flowers, the rest of them are more dull, quiet, and simple.
