We experimented with 3D sculptures made from our images in response to our trip to L’Etecq as well as give a new perspective of the images we took.

Creating my Photo Sculpture

I used the images from my L’Étacq photoshoot to create a photo sculpture. I decided to use black and white images as i think that they contrast against each other better than colour images. After selecting the images that i thought were the best i printed them out and mounted them of foam bored.

I decided to tear the images along the outline of the rocks as this would best show the jagged edges rather than trying to cut them out. After tearing the images i measured each one to find the centre and cut a hole. I then placed the images on a stick from largest to smallest.

Inspiration

I got the inspiration for my sculpture when looking at examples on the Internet. I saw this image and thought it was a really interesting idea. However as it was quite a common idea i knew that i could improve it. I decided that rather then mounting it from the bottom i could connect the images by the centre. This is so that the sculpture can be viewed from any angle and still look good.

Evaluation

Overall i am very pleased with my photo sculpture. However i think that there are areas that could be improved. Firstly, i think that the the images would look better if the jagged edges where i tour the foam board were on all sides. This would make the images more 3D and look better mounted on the base. Next, i think that i could have done a better job at centring the images on the pole. I would do this by making the holes before i tore the foam as on this model i tore the foam first and it was not always to get the exact centre of the board.
