Crawley Futures 'Fallout'

Crawley Futures 'City'

Dystopian and Utopian photo ideas

For the apove photo I plan on to make a Dystopian future image due to how run down the area is.

For this photo i plan on making it a Utopian future in the style of a cyber punk or Japanise styled future.

Crawley Futures 'Apocaliptic'

 

For my first 'Crawley Futures' I decided to make an apocaliptic photo in the style of 'War of the Worlds.'

 

Photoshop blur/sharpen

In this lesson we had to use the blur and sharpen tools to focus on a curtain part of a photo, shown below, this added the effect that would center the viewers vision to the center of the picture.

Photoshop heal

Using the healing tools i was able to repair the wall and also remove the archway.

Photoshop fade

This Photoshop task proved to be very frustrating, we had to take the three pictures of Don and merge them together using the rubber tool, not only did i not know how to crop the background but the effect itself looks very poor. maybe if i had more knowlage about how to use photoshop the task would have been achieved better.

 

Tools used:

 

Rubber tool

Photoshop glass

In this lesson we experimented with Photoshop to make a cracked image. i decided to do a homage to the television series called 'The Walking Dead' by making an image of one of the characters look like an old photo that had been damaged overtime during the apocalypse. Using the video posted on Chris's blog, i managed to create a very interesting effect. below is the image before and after editing. The tools i used were such effects as bevel and emboss and screening.

Diane Arbus Portraiture

Diane Arbus was born on the 14^th of March 1923 and grew up in New York City. She was very famous for her black-and-white square photographs of deviant and marginal people such as dwarfs, giants, transgender people, nudists, circus performers or of people whose normality seems ugly or surreal. Arbus believed that a camera could be “a little bit cold, a little bit harsh” but its scrutiny revealed the truth and showed the difference between what people wanted others to see and what they really did see. Arbus said that she was "afraid that she would be known simply as 'the photographer of freaks'"; however, that phrase has been used repeatedly to describe her.

Arbus took many famous photographic portraits most of which are considered unsettling even though they are very ordinary. This is often believed to be because of the atmosphere in the photo, a creepy smile or grainy image can do wonders with the human imagination. One of her most famous is that of the “Identical Twins.”

 

"Identical Twins," presents two little girls in the same dress, one with a frown and the other a smile. Some people believe the twins both seem to know something the viewer does not, there appears to be some sort of mystery about this photo and many people belive there is more than meets the eye to this photo. What’s interesting is that this very disconcerting yet memorable image was later reproduced in movies like "The Shining.”
