Week 7- Studio Pictures (Black Swan)

Craft- These are the studio photos that were taken for the basic movie poster photography. The movie that I am trying to portray is the Black Swan. I have my model wearing black eye make-up as well as the crown to symbolize the movie poster.

Concept- This is a replica movie poster of the movie Black Swan. Trying my best to get as close to the movie poster as possible with the make-up, lipstick and crown.

Composition- The first thing to see is the black eye make-up, then after that the crown on top of her head. The next thing to see would be the lipstick as well as the eye color once I get that changed over to red like the movie poster.

Special Edition- Fire Photo Transformation

Craft- I made a pattern of fire hydrants in photoshop and then I transormed one of the fire hydrants and made it bigger and also a different color. This makes that yellow fire hydrant really stand out above all of the red fire hydrants.

Concept- This is a pattern of red fire hydrants with a big yellow fire hydrant blown up which overtakes the pattern.

Composition- The first thing to see is the big yellow fire hydrant and then the second thing to see is the red fire hydrant pattern. The yellow fire hydrant that is blown up really overtakes your eye and makes you look at that first before everything else.

Week 6- Fire Photo Transformation

Craft- I took a photoshop image of just the fire hydrant and made a pattern out of it. Then once that was done, I changed the color of one of the fire hydrants and made it stand out.

Concept-This is a pattern of fire hydrants and there is one fire hydrant is out of the ordinary and is yellow instead of red.

Composition- The first thing to see is the out of the ordinary yellow fire hydrant. The second thing to see is the pattern of all of the fire hydrants and how it is a horizontal pattern.

Week 4- Fire Photo Creativity

Craft- Got a picture of the fire alarm here at the VAC and then deleted all the surrounding pixels so the image of the alarm was isolated. Used several tools to delete all of the pixels including the elliptical and the rectangular tool along with the quick selection tool.

Concept- This is an isolated image of the fire alarm that shows none of the background in it. This image was on the wall, but with the deleted pixels, the fire alarm is alone.

Composition- The first thing to see is the middle part and then the part that says fire on it. Thirdly, the little black dot that is down on the bottom is the final thing to see in this image. Also, with the background being deleted, you see the obvious no background being there.

Week 5- Fire Photo Collages

Craft- In the case of the last picture on here, I put all of the signs in a pattern and then put the one down in the bottom left so it stood out because it doesn't look like it belongs.

Composition- The first thing to see is the out of place sign down at the bottom and then all of the words saying use exit afterwards. The third thing to see is to look at the pictures and the fire signs.

Concept- This is a pattern first and foremost with something that is out of place. It is kind of a wild design and really isn't shaped perfectly to be a great pattern, but the concept of having the sign out place was what I was shooting for in this one. 

Week 3- Fire Photos

Craft- The picture that I am talking about is the one in the upper left of the chimney. This was a picture at my house after I had burned some paper and cardboard. The ashes are all from the burned materials and I took a picture after the fire ended.

Composition- Well first and foremost, the initial thing to see is the fact that it is a chimney. Then you see the ashes inside and the sticks from the matches I used. You can then see the ash trays that are in the chimney and the marks all over the walls from the several fires we have had in the chimney.

Concept- This is a picture of the chimney in my den after a fire. It shows all of the ashes and burn marks from the various amounts of fires that have occurred in that chimney.
