Final Piece

For my final piece these are the photographs that i decided to use. I have chosen these photos because the colours in the photographs are bright and clear. This is the order of which I put my photos in because I thought that the photos went well together arranged in this order.

Photo 1:

I like this photo because of the red, and green popping out with it in focus and the background blurry.

Photo 2:

I like this photo because the yellow is really bright and the different colours go well together.

Photo 3:

I like this photo because all the colours are bright and popping out and I like the composition of the photo because the object is not in the middle it is on the side.

Photo 4:

I like this photo because of the different bright colours with the bright red colour and with the gold glittering.

Photo 5:

I like this photograph because the colours are quite pastel and there are dark and light colours on the object.

Photo 6:

I like this photo because it has colours that go well together with the blue and red.

Photo 7:

I like this photo because of the light colours and the details of the object.

Photos not chosen

For my final piece these are the photos that I did not choose to display on my final piece.

Photo 1:

I did not choose this photo because i thought that the objects was not next to each other and the photograph shows more of the red object than the yellow object.

Photo 2:

I did not choose this photograph because I thought that the background did not go well with the colours and I wanted a dark background that could be blurred.

Photo 3:

I did not choose this photograph because the colours of the objects do not look bold and looking at the photograph the colours look faded.

Photo 4:

I did not choose this photo for my final piece because I did not like the composition of the object, and looking at the photograph it looks like the image is not straight and it looks quite slanted.

Photo 5:

I did not choose this photo because I don't like the colours, I took this photo because it had colours in it but I do not think that the colours go well together.

Final Piece

For my final piece I have decided to concentrate on color, my concept is color and objects. I have been looking at the photographer Martin Parr who takes pictures with a lot of bright colors in his photographs.

For my final photograph I have decided to take several photographs about color, with objects that has a lot of different bright colors on them and then I want to brighten the colors on photoshop to enhance the photograph. I want the photographs to be printed out small because I want people to look close at the photograph and concentrate at all the colors in the photograph.

This is my final piece plan, the drawing i did has lots of different colors and different objects that has different colors that I can enhance and change to make it brighter.

Cropping

I decided to experiment on cropping and to see how it will enhance how my photograph looks.

I first went on photoshop and clicked on the crop tool on the left hand side where all the icons are.

Then I highlighted the whole of the picture and then moved the box to see how much of the photograph I wanted to crop out.

Then I clicked enter and the background I did not want was cropped of it makes the object look much bigger than normal.

However I have decided that I like the photograph with the background because the background makes it look like a mystery because you don't know where the object is.

Filter Experiment

I decided to experiment on filters on Photoshop.

Photo 1:

This is the photo that I started of with which has not been edited.

Photo 2:

In this photo I used the colour filter cyan which makes the photograph look blue.

Photo 3:

In this photo I used yellow filter which makes the photograph more brighter and lights up the photo

Experimenting with photoshop colors for final piece

I have experimented on enhancing colors on a photograph that I have previously taken. I wanted to photoshop this photo because it had a lot of color in the photograph and it will help me on my final piece on enhancing the colors of my photographs that I will take.

This is my before and after photograph.

___________________________________________________

This is the photograph before I edited it, in this photograph I used flash because the room was orange and if I wasn't to use flash the whole picture would look orange. I decided to take this photo because there is a lot different colors in the photograph.

Firstly I was looking around at all the options of what I can do with the photo and I changed the Brightness and Contrast of the photo to make the photograph lighter and more bold.

Then i changed the curves to enhance the colors in the photograph.

Then I changed the exposure of the photograph to sharpen the colors.

To finished the photograph I changed the vibrance of the photograph to make it bold.

This is the end piece o the photograph that I did.

Decide on your focus

What artists/concepts/techniques have inspired you?

- The artist that has inspired me is William Eggleston and Martin Parr because they both use the concept of color, their techniques of using object and changing lights to create color has inspired me.

What are your next steps? What are your intentions? What are your intentions? (What will you experiment with/research, etc)

- My next steps is to investigate more on William Eggleston and Martin Parr and experiment taking pictures with their concept of colors in my photographs. I want to take photographs with a lot of color, so i will be finding objects with bright colors and may enhance the colors on photoshop.
