Simoes Grid research




This is a portrait by Lucas Simoes which is made of multiple pictures combined on photoshop. It is a very unique style and was fun to try and recreate. We used texture templates on top of three different portraits (each portraying a different emotion) and eventually, combined all of the layers to make the desired affect.

Dan Mountford example



This is my example of a Dan Mountford style image. I took various shots including portrait and landscapes in order to combine them both in one image. In photoshop, i imported the images and positioned the portrait on the top layer. I then lowered the opacity of the rubber to rub away at the image at the places i wanted the tree to show the most. I mostly left the eyes so the tree behind them would not be distracting. I like the final affect and want to try different ways of getting this style of image like changing the blending options.

Environment Project



This is my Environment Project final piece. I interpreted the theme of environment by taking images of the things around me. I focused the images around light and particularly natural light which makes the images seem more raw and unique. I used multiple exposure and also long exposure to achieve each image and to have the lights as vibrant as possible. I also mainly took my images at the sunset magic hour and later to achieve a dark, night-time set of images. I compiled my favourite images from the various shoots into a collage on photoshop. I set the spacing to show the different images clearly but they are not to prominant that it breaks up the overall photograph.
