Week 7 - Solid, Pop, and Super pop










Craft: I used a canon camera to produce these photos. The purpose of this assignment was to understand the importance of editorial functions that could make photos much more dynamic. I took photos of marbles and decided to make three different but similar edits. I took three different photos of different subjects and make three different edits. I took three narrative style photos and made three similar edits. All of these edits were made using Adobe Photoshop. I used different functions of that software, such as the marque tool and lasso tool, which are both used to create a section within the photo that we would like to edit. The usage of layers was also critical because it allowed for easy and quick maneuvering between the different edits all within the same photo.

Concept: There are no themes in regards to the photos that I chose to use. It was more of an experiment to be able to understand how changing the color scheme of a photo could make it much more interesting, which ties us back to contrast, such as having two significantly different colors in order to be able to make one thing stand out in a photo where there are multiple things. This can also be done to be able to draw the viewer's attention to just one part of the photo instead of viewing the entire photo.

Composition: Many of these photos contain different elements that make them interesting in their own way but the one that interests me the most is the photo with the boomerang style pattern. You get one effect when you isolated one part of the photo when its side by side to another thing but its different when the subject overlaps other things. You're able to see how well they work with the other components of the photo and its easier to see the impact of that change.
