Still Life

DSLR Still Life in Colour

DSLR Still Life in Black & White

iPhone Still Life

Questions:
1. My still life represents freedom and the ability that an airplane has in the air. They're free and above everything. They're able to see everything from a different perspective.
2. With my DSLR shots, I used direct lighting to achieve a glow on parts of the plane. With my iPhone shot, I used diffused lighting to get a more shadowed and dark shot.
3. I think with my iPhone shot, I could've created a better background for my shot to develop a sense of completeness in the image.

Photoshop Motion


Questions:
1. I think my favourite part of this image is the fact that it tells a story and it creates a series of motion without it being too obvious of what is going on step-by-step.
2. I think the most difficult part of this process was finding photos that didn't obstruct other photos to the point of confusion. I had to go through a lot of photos to find some that fit well within each other.
3. I think the easiest part of this process was using the layer mask and brush to blend the photos together. I think the auto-align helped with this process, making it a lot easier to do.

Green Screen

Original

Photoshopped

Questions:
1. I think the most difficult part of this project was trying to position the person to match the background, so the image appeared real.
2. I like how my image looks like a real event. I feel like this picture could've actually have been taken and I really like the sense of realness in it even though it is photoshopped.
3. I think I could have better lit my person so that she looked the same as Big Ben. I also feel like I could've better positioned her so that the photo had a better sense of composition to it.
