Scott Jarvie example

This is my example of a Jarvie Window style image. I used a ring flash and a wide angled lens to achieve this affect. I asked Lina to put her hands in the foreground so they would become slightly distorted by the lens and so it gives the image a different perspective.

Scott Jarvie research

This is an image taken by Scott Jarvie using a wide angle lens and a flash ring. I like this style as it is really unique and gives an interesting point of view which sets his portraits apart from other traditional photographers. By putting the hands on the flash ring they seem much larger as they are closer to the wide angled lens which gives a peculiar affect.  The dark background also gives an unusual perspective and I like how different it is. The 'window' of the flash is an impressive idea and I had fun when I attempted to recreate this style.

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.

Dan Mountford research

This is an image by Dan Mountford using double exposure. I love this style and think it is a very interesting and unique concept. I especially like this example because of the added work of the constellation-type dots that construct her face. I think this adds to the image as it shows detail in the face and adds extra intrest to the image which will appeal to his audience. Mountford has used at least two images to compose the final image. Layering the portrait with an image of trees and buildings, Mountford has added texture to the image. I also like this image because you cannot see the girl's face which makes it anonymous and more intriguing to the viewer. I will attempt this style for my own project which I will do in my own time.
