My favorite sets of images:
Group 1:
These images group together because of the warm, earthy colours. They also display thoughts of isolation and staying at home through abstract photography.
Group 2:
These images group together because they all have high contrast between the lights and the shadows. They also have an eerie feel when displayed together.
Group 3:
These images group together because they all are of water and water reflections. They also all have quite earthy colours with increased saturation.
Group 4:
These images group together because they all are of natural forms in black and white. They also have a large tonal range between the highlights and the shadows.
Final Gallery
I chose these images because i think they best display my use of black and white photography to show contrast and texture in natural forms. These images work well together in response to Harry Callahan because of their similarity to his photographs by using black and white photography of natural forms.
Method
- Find an image on the internet of an empty gallery – i chose a plain black and white gallery as it compliments the images i have chosen to display.
- Select a group of your most successful images that look good displayed together and bring them into Photoshop in different layers.
- One by one, resize the images to the desired size, using Ctrl and dragging the corners of the image to change the angle of the image to match the angle of the wall that its placed on.
- Then right click on the image – blending options – drop shadow, then change the values and angle of the shadow to fir the gallery that the images are in, taking into account the position of the lights in the room.
