Stephen Shore

Stepehen Shore is an Americian photographer who was know as the "Dead Pan" for his images of bannel scences and objects used with high colours in his photos.Stephen Shire started photograpgy at a young age.When he was six he recieved his first dark room set and a 35mm camera.He photos include many building and sences with colour.His create images that make a perception that they are in another world.He creates photio that show a different perspective,it make the photo seem that it not part of this world.I like his style very much because the the images and colour he captures.His pioneer fine art colours create images that make it seem as if the photo isn't real.What I tried to copy from his style wqas to take images that made photos look unreal,the way he positioned and use of shadows and light in these photos created great photos.In my photos I tried to copy his style by positioning my photo indirect of the building.I exposed a great amount of light to show the viberate colours.I tried to make textures and colour more vivid in my photo.Stephen Shore made his photos stand out.His photos made you try to notice what around you and pay attension to colours and sences around you.Overall i think his perspective of photos create great images and sences with vivid colours and texture effect.The photo I related I tried to make the colours vivid and show the amount of texture and light.

Cyanotype

In this image a created a piture captured in sunlight.To create this I printed a photo onto photo paper, which then chemicals were wiped on photo paper.Once that was done the paper was plastered on top and left outside for 20-30min.This created a beatiful blue coloured picture that created a lot of contrast and detail.This was my favorite project as it allowed detail and image show up on paper.

Silk Screen

In this image I created a bandana with a silk screen image.To create a silk screen I used a frame and stapled cloth screen to make a tight surface.After creating this emulsion was wiped across the screen and let it dry for a day.Once dried I used a picture printed on photopaper and layed it in light under the screen for 10min.Once that step was done I washed the screen with hot water and scrubbed. This created a image to print with paint.

In this photo I cut out cloth in the shape of a bandana and printed my picture.The photo I created was taken in toronto that had a lot of detail to be able to show all the detail on my print.Overall this project took time but was worth it at the end.

Breaking the Rules of Photography

In these photo's we used a theme of breaking the rules.We took photos that would be not centered,no theme, colour, lighting etc. These 3 photos showed images that weren't centered and no proper lighting.Thesebroke the rules because in the images there are obstacles focusing in the way.This was very challenging but created a good theme by not focusing on how good the photo looks.

Acrylic lift

In this photo we used a picture to create a alternative process called acrylic lift.I used a photo that broke the rules of photography (e.g. not centered).Here I printed a photo with a laser printer and silked it in 8 layers of acrylic medium.Once dried i used water to peel of the layers.This created a beatiful strtchy paper fabric of the photo I used. this process was a bit difficult but lots of fun, the strokes each had to be equal medium and proper to create a clear image.

Mixed Lighting

In this photo we used light with a combination of the sun with a reflection disk.In this used the light to reflect of the reflection disk to add more gold or silver colour to the face.We used a nikon DX 18-55mm lens, 1/50, f36 and 150 manual.This was cool to capture an image of light combination as we used the suns reflectant to show in the photo and the face.

Renaissance

In this project we took a picture from the renaissance era and captures an image to replace the head.In this photo we used Lorenzo de' Medici-ritratto which was ruler of florence and replaced it ith an image of me.We used many features to make it accurate such as colour coating it,sharping it etc.This project was very fun,but needed a lot of work to edit but was great.
