Fall Series 1

Fall Series 1: Nathan Lyons
My artist is Nathan Lyons. Through the following odd subjects, he created an eerie vibe. He sometimes tried to create socially-engaging images. His visual recipe is: odd subjects, dark and urban backgrounds, shadows, and black and white. His photos never featured or showed any "real" person, but could have featured "not real" or "fake" people, making some of his photos have an isolated and eerie feel to them.

    I think your photos matched you visual recipe to the fullest extent and I really liked how different each of your photos were. You did a really nice job!

    Your photos really showed a sense of eerie calm because of the way you set up your subjects as opposed to the shadows. I can't wait to see more of your images!

    I think you did a great job capturing the visual recipe of dark and urban backgrounds, with shadows. I think it is a good idea to keep each photo black and white, in order to keep that dark mood within the photo. I think I felt a more urban tone when you were taking pictures of architect, so maybe focus your photos around architecture. Otherwise, fantastic job!

    These are nice photos, but some of them I'm not sure give off the "eerie" vibe you keep talking about. I think the subjects need to be more random and weird like Lyons' were if you're trying to imitate his style.

Spring Project 3

Spring Project 3 I went all out for this series. I had taken many photos over the past weeks, and I was able to edit all of them this week. I'm really proud of how this week turned out because I created a sense of flow in each image, despite having a wider range of subjects in the series. I used more natural lighting this time too, and I avoided creating silhouettes. One of the problems with this specific post is that the dimensions of each image are not consistent. This has been a very fun but tedious project to work with.

Fall Series 3

Fall Series 3: Nathan Lyons I am basing my project on Nathan Lyons' photos. His visual recipe is: odd subjects out of their natural habitat, dark and urban backgrounds, shadows, and black and white. What make his photos have a general theme of oddness are how most of his subjects he takes pictures are usually out of context and out of place. His photos never featured or showed any "real" person, but could have featured "not real" or "fake" people. A "real" person is a direct picture of a living person, while a "not real" or "fake" person could be a physical copy of an image of someone, or a mannequin. There wasn't really anything "living" in his photos. He did this in order to create an isolated feel to his images, as a photo with no "real" human face makes the viewer feel secluded.

Composition 2- Leading Line, Repetition, and Depth Staging

Leading Line A leading line in a picture is essentially a photograph where there is a shape of a line which moves from the front of the photo to the back. This line helps guide the viewer to the subject in the photo, which is at the end of the line. I took photos of leading lines using sidewalks, pipelines, streets, and architecture. Repetition A photo with repetition is one in which there is the same subject being repeated and going in the same direction, making the further subjects smaller than the closer subjects bigger. I illustrated repetition through a fence, stairs, garage doors, and apartment windows. Depth Staging Depth staging is when there are two subjects, one distinctly in the front and one distinctly in the back. Depth staging creates perspective for the viewer. I made examples of depth staging with cars on the street being in the back, and having various subjects in the front.
