Winter Series Draft 1

This semester I chose to replicate the photographer Nathan Lyons. He is known for his honest and often questioning depictios of America's cultural landscape. He decises sequences of black and whate picutres that incorporate graffiti and advertisement in order to explore the use of language in images. As I was editting, I wanted to make sure the contrast of the black and white brought together the meaning of the photo but at the same time resembled the likeness of Lyons images. Because Lyons focuses on images that stand out of their natural habitat, it was hard finding subjects that matched that topic so I tried to make it seem like they were out of their natural habitat.

    I think you did a really great job producing images that were unique and made your post flow very nicely. I also really enjoyed how you had all your images in black and white. Great Job!

    I really like the photos of your murals, my suggestion is to either go with happy or sad with the tone you are trying to convey.

    I love this. Keep doing what you're doing, involving the subjects of graffiti and simpler text that you find on the street. I really like the "PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK" one because of its minimalist composition; it adds some more diversity to the series. Amazing work!

    I really like these photos because there is a sense of disconnect between all of them. You chose really good subjects to convey Lyons' work. Keep doing more minimalist photos (like your sixth and thirteenth photos) because these show off the composition best.

    I like how you had a variety of photos with different moods associated with each. Keep it up

    I really like your photos and how your tied all of your photos together with an eerie vibe. While I was studying Nathan Lyons, I discovered that he never had any people in his photos in order to contribute to the eeriness. My only suggestion would be to take less photos of people. Other than that, great work!

Fall Series Draft #2

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.

Class Portraits 2

This week we continued on our class portraits mimicking their different series. Danny's series c aptured how athletes express their mood and emotion to the world and how they carry themselves.  Daro imitated the photographer  Jerry Uelsmann by combining different images to make one image. I chose to do David's levitation series from his winter series Lauren's fall series was to imitate the photographer John French who focused on making shapes with arms.  Liam's winter series was to imitate the photographer Jasper James who worked on city silhouettes.  I imitated Max's winter series which was blurring the image to make shapes that are abstract Stewarts winter series was to give his images and urban feel.

Fall Series Final #4

In my last draft, I really got into the candid photos of my people. I think they really brought the photo together. As before, I used the city image 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 be brightened to make the picture of the person stand out more. In these photos I really wanted to make sure that it wasn't just the person being seen, but there was some notice of the background. However I wanted the main focus to be the models and I think that the bright colors that my model were wearing allowed them to stand out of the photo allowed most of the focus go to the model.
