Final-Photo Emulation

Project 4-Balance and Contrast

For this project we took photos focusing on contrast in scale, color, value, and texture. We also focused on symmetrical balance and radial balance. When editing, we created kaleidoscopes, working in Lightroom and Photoshop. We also created diptychs and triptychs, images that consist of 2 or 3 photos together. Here are my 2 favorite triptychs, 2 favorite diptychs, and 3 favorite kaleidoscopes.

Fall

This photo was one of my favorites because it shows the pain and hardship that skateboarders go through every time the skate. I combined these images together as a sort of sequence so the viewer can see what went wrong. I originally took this photo in monochrome mode and I didn't change much when I edited it.

Luke

This is a photo of my good friend Luke. I liked these photos because they show a lot of the thought that goes into skateboarding. Before dropping in, you have to know exactly what you are going to do. Hear you can see luke is visualizing his tricks a lot. I contrasted between close ups and a photo from farther away.

Half-Pipe

I liked these two photos because they provide an interesting contrast yet provide some symmetrical balance when put together. These photos are obviously taken from different distances. When I edited them I cropped the right hand photo so that it lined up with the half-pipe in the lefthand photo. In the end they made an interesting kind of half-pipe.

Grind

This is my personal favorite out of all of the photos. I edited both photos so that there was a lot of contrast. The light in the background made my friend Luke seem kind of dark and I really liked that. I also like that the photo is a sequence.

Branches

I liked this kaleidoscope because it was really complex compared to the other ones that I made. I used the multiply effect a lot and made a lot of different photos. It is kind of hard to tell what the picture is of at first and I like that.

Tower

I liked this kaleidoscope because it looks like a space station or a satellite. I duplicated and and turned this photo of a cell phone tower downtown many times and the final photo looks like something completely different than just a boring cell phone tower.

Warehouse

This is a kaleidoscope of the half pipe that we built at my friends warehouse. I liked this photo because it turned the half-pipe into a full pipe. It is different than the other kaleidoscopes because it is a square. The half-pipe natural makes a circular shape on its own.
