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.

    These are pretty good. I don't think your photos focusing on interior design are especially Lyons-esque, but some of the others match that style quite well. I think you could increase the contrast on some of these, as it's a little faded in some.

    I love each one of your photos, I thought your artist statement matched your pictures. I don't have any suggestions for you, good job!

    I like your photos a lot, my suggestion is to use signs of shops and other things on the street, also I don't think the 4th to last photo is necessarily a photo that takes place on the street.

    These are really nice. I think that the simplicity of the photos are what makes them so great. Nice job really capturing the simplicity of each photo

    These photos are all so interesting! In the future, I think you should work with reflections more as these are your most successful in this series (in my opinion). You could also consider using people's shadows as well.

    Your best series yet!!! I think the concept of oddness is clearly demonstrated within your pieces this week. The photos that are darker and include reflections are stronger images than the others. Great work Max!

    I really like how the photos seem a bit darker and more mysterious, it seems to have helped the photos turn out very nicely

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.

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.
