This week we drew inspiration from our classmates by using their photographic techniques and incorporating them into the images. We are essentially re-creating their photos, but putting them in them as well. I studied each individual's project on their blog and talked over it with them to make sure I understood the concept, then put the concept into action and created the images with them.
Sophie: In Sophie's project she used photos of a group of people, but had one of them resemble a ghost-like figure. She used to paint in real life to create this effect, I just used the drawing option on picmonkey.
Francesca: In Francesa's project, she took pictures of her classmates or friends and turned their heads into animals. She made human portraits into a blend between an animal and human portrait, where the body of the human is present, but their head is an animal's.
In Jackson's project, he created silhouettes of people, so I did the same, using him as the subject. A good way he found out to make a silhouette was to stand in front of a light source, to make the exposure give a blacked out effect, as well as some touching up in picmonkey.
For Jimmy's project, he took photos of specifical trees, and more their outline or silhouette. Rather than including the root and trunk of the tree, he only took a picture of the tree from the ground, looking up, so it was more the upper body of the tree as well as the roots, leaves, etc.
