In the previous draft, I was able to find many images that followed Nathan Lyons style of subject out of their natural habitat. In this new draft, I made sure that I didn't have people in my photos becuase that was one of the aspects of Nathan Lyons that I missed. In the editting process, I needed to make sure that the shadows didn't cover that subject of the images. The images with words, I made sure that they stood out from the background.
In this new draft, I realized that Jasper James' City Silhouettes were a bit brighter than what I had made them and that the photos of the people were all different sizes. Some of them were zoomed in while others were farther way. I started with the city as the background but I only edited it after I combined it with the picture of the person. This way, it allowed me to see how much the background need to brighten to make the picture of the perosn stand out more.















I think this post was really powerful because the black and white adds a touch of eerie feeling. I think the most powerful image was the last one because Evict trump was written in white on a black background which adds a lot! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour images are really great! They are so crips and in focus, which makes the words and subject a statement to your images. Great work. Also Shaw's is the best!
ReplyDeleteI love this. I think that you should focus more on words and art outside, as the text indoors you take pictures of have less of a timeless vibe that I get from some of your others. I'd say to just keep exploring and keep collecting photos; I think your portfolio will be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think all of your photos really reflect Nathon Lyon's style. My favorite is your 8th photo. I have no suggestions. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThese are all really cohesive photos. My favorites are the 5th and 15th because of the way edited for high contrast. I am not a huge fan of words being the entirety of the picture (specifically your 12th and 13th) because everything in the photo is just too smooth looking. I think Lyons' work is more of a rugged-smooth (if that makes sense...). But otherwise, I really like your pictures, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI really like your photos with the street, I like how they give a voice to the city of San Francisco and the people living here. My only suggestion is to focus on murals/graffiti/street art.
ReplyDeleteI think these pictures are awesome! I really like the darker mood/tone to the image, and how it compliments the main focal point. I think that you made a great choice by highlighting the subject in some images and darkening the background in other images to hide the subject. I really like these images, GREAT JOB!
ReplyDeleteI like the black and white as it gives each photo more cohesion and makes them seem more natural.
