Photography

Abstract Photography is definitely a area that intrigues me in photography, creating many shots that make a person think about what they are looking at for that extra second longer is big part in my photography style. With abstract photography you can hone in on small details that people overlook in their day to day lives and make them stand out in ways that are creative and mysterious at the same time. 

This is another shot giving more examples to abstract photography, this shot was also edited slightly to bring colours out using different Photoshop techniques such as vignette, levels and also curves

The image above is a task that we were given where we had to reconstruct the famous photography style of David Hockney. This is where we would have to take multiple shots of a subject at different points and later on with the help of computer editing we would build the subject back up with various images creating a photo montage style, which was made famous through Hockney's work. With my ending product I felt that the overall set of pictures were too bland and I wanted to enhance the colours and make them show more clearer, so I brought more colour in through the Photoshop tool "Curves".



Photography I feel is a great area that I excel in from taking shots that capture composition in the world around us to advertisement photography where I find I am extremely intrigued, we were giving the task to again create a brand that uses photography in its advertisements. Starting off we researched into studio photography and how lighting effects shots and then started to take an interest in other famous advertising techniques that introduced photography


After many hours in the studio and hundreds of test shots later, I came to the final design of my product trying to capture the originality style of the Bulmer's brand that they consistently brought into their advertising campaigns. Taking test shots and putting them into Photoshop and watching my design take form was a great process for me, but when designing the product came into play I really felt in my element and loved being creative.
