Photo Edits

For this photo all I did was gradient maps and I don’t think the photo needs anymore considering if I added more in editing I think it will take away aspects of the photo that I want. for instance I took inspiration from Danny Lyons and his photos are black and white and that’s it so if I added anymore the photo wouldn’t get the same effect that I want for the photo.

when editing this photo and I wanted it to have a old simplistic effect as I said about the photo above this photo that I took inspiration from Danny Lyons and adding more to the photo would not give the same feel to the photo that i want the photo to feel like when’s someone’s looking at it

when editing this photo it was me trying to sharpen it up no fancy editing thing but I did wanted to keep the glare in the visor just because I thought it looks good. when editing i stopped for a minute looked at the photo and then stopped when I was happy with the photo.

when editing this photo I wanted it to look good because I like the photo its quiet stoic and I believe with the editing I could have done a lot better however the photo turned out ok

when editing this photo I tried to give a depressing effect or sad effect and I believe when people look at this photo they feel or know that the person in the photo is depressed and the light in the photo is a bit hope however this photo is the oldest one in this photo edits and I choose to use this one in the mock because I haven’t gotten to use it in yet and I believe it turned out good.

Jeff wall

Jeff wall is a Canadian artist born 29 September 1946 he’s best known for his large scale backlit Cibachrome photographs he has a masters of arts from the university of British Colombia walls photos are strange but very good they have you wondering why he took the photo at first glance you would think the photo has no meaning or it was taken for no reason.

printed photos

why I choose this photo to print the photo itself turned out well however the editing could have been better however the photo turned out alright but its not my best work. when taking this photo and editing it I tried to use of inspiration from Danny Lyons

why I choose to print this photo with this photo shoot this photo was one of the best however its a bit grainy. But I still like the photo and how it turned out.

why I choose this photo, the photo turned out really good and the camera made a mistake with the exposer however it made a really good photo.

why I choose this photo the photo itself is good and I like the photo and that’s why I printed it.

why I choose this photo it turned out good however my editing was not my best however its still a good photo. with this photo I was trying to get the feel of a Danny Lyons photos however considering the bike in the photo is a 21st century bike and not a 20th century bike it doesn’t have the same effect.

photoshoot plan

The location of the photoshoot will be outside and it depends where I go with my friends on their bikes.
what I will taking a photo of is my friends with there bikes and maybe a group photo.
I am taking inspiration from Danny Lyons from his bike riders book his photos have natural feeling where the scene weren’t set up it almost like documentary photography.

Why I am taking inspiration from Danny Lyons and talking photo of my friends on there bikes is because I like Danny Lyons photos and
how will I take the photos I will be using a camera and maybe my phone depends if I have the camera on me or not.


This is a montages of Danny Lyons bike rides photos with the Chicago outlaws, I like these photos because they look like documentary photos not staged or set up photos gives the photo a organic feel and since there taken in black and white it gives the photos a old feel when I do take the photos they will probably not have the same effect but I try when taking the photos and in editing them.

Femininity and Masculinity

The definition of femininity, femininity is a set of attributes, behaviours, and roles generally associated with women. Femininity can be understood as socially constructed, and there is also some evidence that some behaviours considered feminine are influenced by both cultural factors and biological factors. some feminine traits are nurturance, sensitivity, sweetness, supportiveness, gentleness, warmth, passivity, cooperativeness, expressiveness, modesty, humility, empathy, affection. sometimes colours are related to femininity such as pink, purple, green, red, and white.

The definition of masculinity, Masculinity is a set of attributes, behaviours, and roles associated with men. Masculinity can be theoretically understood as socially constructed, and there is also evidence that some behaviours considered masculine are influenced by both cultural factors and biological factors. some masculine traits are strength, courage, independence, leadership, and assertiveness. sometimes colours can be related to masculinity such as red, orange, brown, black and blue.



Identity

what is identity, identity is the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. everyone has a different identity some are very similar but never the same. In photography someone’s identity is shown with visual items such as how there dressed or what there holding. How, where and what the person is doing in a photo can show people who look at the photo who the person is.

Identity is based on the repetition of sameness that is evidenced by the image produced by the camera. photographers visually project their feelings, ideas, interests, memories or personality traits into objects and scenes. this is identity in photograph.

Danny Lyons

Danny Lyons is a American photographer and filmmaker he was born in 1942 in Brooklyn, new York. he went to the university of Chicago, where he graduated with a bachelors art degree in 1963. his first book was a study on outlaw motorcyclists in the collection called the bike riders. He joined the Chicago outlaws motorcycle club and travelled with them sharing their lifestyles. his wife is Nancy Lyons


I will be taking photos like the one above with sort of the same style I have some friends with bikes and I will be taking group and solo photos of them with there bikes then I will edit them and see which one is the best and then use the best for the the final blog post of this topic.

this photo shows a big group of bikers in a field and a biker in a mirror, the angle of the camera is very good getting a scene with a big group of bikers in the back and getting a headshot of the bikers on the bike behind the camera. what makes this photo unique is that there in a field for a unknown reason which adds a bit of mystery to photo.

Claude Cahun

Claude Cahun also know as Lucy Renee Mathilde Schwob was born 25 October 1894 was a French surrealist photographer Schwob adopted the pseudonym Claude Cahun in 1914, During the early 1920s, she settled in Paris with lifelong partner Suzanne Malherbe who adopted the pseudonym Marcel Moore. The two became step-sisters in 1917 after Cahun’s divorced father and Moore’s widowed mother married, eight years after Cahun and Moore’s artistic and romantic partnership began.

In 1937 Cahun and Moore settled in jersey Following the fall of France and the German occupation of Jersey they became active as resistance workers and propagandists. Fervently against war, the two worked extensively in producing anti-German fliers. Many were snippets from English-to-German translations of BBC reports on the Nazis’ crimes and insolence, which were pasted together to create rhythmic poems and harsh criticism. They created many of these messages under the German pseudonym Der Soldat Ohne Namen, or The Soldier With No Name, to deceive German soldiers that there was a conspiracy among the occupation troops. The couple then dressed up and attended many German military events in Jersey strategically placing their pamphlets in soldier’s pockets, on their chairs, and in cigarette boxes for soldiers to find. Additionally, they inconspicuously crumpled up and threw their fliers into cars and windows.

experimenting with different photo methods and editing styles

Diamond Cameo

In April 1865 Frazer Crawford, manager of the Adelaide Photographic Company, returned from Melbourne with ‘all the latest improvements and novelties in photography’ which included a camera to make Diamond Cameo photographs which, he said, was a new style that was ‘becoming so fashionable.

Making this Diamond cameo was fairly simple however the pictures are not the same size and kind of looks wonky also it doesn’t look as good maybe next time I could add like a filter or something to make it look aged.



double mulit-exposure

with this photo I got a photo of some stars and then a photo I took then I layered the photo of the stars over my photo and then turned down the opacity for the photo of the stars. and it turned out ok I think if I where to do it again and then I would turn down the opacity a bit more and take my own photo of some stars.

sequence grid photography

editing these photos all I did is shrink them down and placed them how you see them I think it turned out ok and depicts the model getting blinded by one of the studio lights. it was a mistake however it turnout to be a ok collection of photos however I would like to redo something like this to get a better effect and some more photo depicting what’s happening.

The origin of photography

Camera Obscura & Pinhole photography The earliest known written account of a camera obscura was provided by a Chinese philosopher called Mo-tzu in 400BC. He noted that light from an illuminated object that passed through a pinhole into a dark room created an inverted image of the original object. this is the start of photography history
santa maria della salute venice abelardo morell (using the pin hole method)
Nicephore Niepce & Heliography: Niépce developed heliography, a technique he used to create the world’s oldest surviving product of a photographic process: a print made from a photoengraved printing plate in 1825. In 1826 or 1827, he used a primitive camera to produce the oldest surviving photograph of a real-world scene.
Louis Daguerre called his invention daguerreotype. His method which he disclosed to the public late in the summer of 1839, consisted of treating silver-plated copper sheets with iodine to make them sensitive to light, then exposing them in a camera and “developing” the images with warm mercury vapor.
calotype is a early photographic technique invented by William Henry Fox Talbot in the 1830s. In this technique, a sheet of paper coated with silver chloride was exposed to light in a camera obscura; those areas hit by light became dark in tone, giving a negative image.
Cornelius had set his camera up at the back of the family store in Philadelphia. He took the image by removing the lens cap and then running into frame where he sat for a minute before covering up the lens again. On the back he wrote “The first light Picture ever taken. 1839.
Julia Margeret started photography when she was 48 in 1863, She used the most common process at the time, producing albumen prints from wet collodion glass negatives. The process required a glass plate (approximately 12 x 10 inch) to be coated with photosensitive chemicals in a darkroom and exposed in the camera when still damp. what makes Julia’s work different is she includes imperfections in her photos that other photographers would reject as a technical flaw, she was criticised at the time for this however today people can appreciate these imperfections. Wikipedia say she took 900 photo in 12 years.
Henry Mullins started working at 230 Regent Street in London in the 1840s and moved to Jersey in July 1848, setting up a studio known as the Royal Saloon in his career in jersey he took 20,000 photos he specialised in carte-de-visit photos he charged one half of how much a photo was in London
