In these photos, I was trying to recreate the City Silhouettes by the English photographer Jasper James. Jasper James Sihouettes tries to capture the urban life of China in the birds eye view aswell as capturing the people in China too. However, because it was hard for me to get a birds eye view of the city, I wasn't able to recreate the photos extactly. Instead, I would take a photo from a high vantage point or a view that I was able to capture many buildings. After, I took one of my friends and put them up a white wall and posed them to make sure they weren't looking at the camara. During editing I took the picture of the buildings and used them as my background. I tried brightening the photo and later, I took the photo of my person, and fade them so they blend into into the background. I wasn't able to get all of my photos because Jasper James used different backgrounds and different people, but that was difficult for me because there weren't many high vantages points I could get a picture, and there was also were alot of people to take photos of.
I think you've followed and successfully completed your goals and your visual recipe. Your edits are also really good. I have no idea how to edit something like this. I don't know if you would be allowed to do this, but I would suggest maybe using birds eye images from google and then putting your own person over the image, as it is hard for you to get a high vantage point.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job following your visual recipe. I really like your last photo since it seems like she is truly a part of the background of the city if that makes sense. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI think you followed you recipe to the tee which is really impressive. I know how hard these photos were at first but they turned out absolutely amazing! keep up the great point!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are AMAZING!!!! You certainly captured the visual recipe, and succeeded by emulating Jasper James photography style. I think your last photo is your strongest piece because you made your subject connected to the background by glancing out into the distance. Keep up the great work, this is truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou did a really good job at layering your photos. They all flow nicely and have really good edits. Can't wait to see more of your work!
ReplyDeleteI thought you did a great job of matching the subjects mood with the background, they seemed to compliment each other nicely in all of your photos
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the depth that layering has in your project. you were able to excecute this very well and showed great ediitng skills.
