TAFE; EXPERIMENTATION

These are my original 3 images that I photographed.. and combining all three using photoshop I was able to create the surrealism effect I was after. 

It basically consisted of using the opacity capability to blend the images to my hearts content before making a selection of the flowers below and copying it onto a layer and also blending it into the shot. In order to make the flowers fit where I wanted to I expanded them and rotated around using the free transform tool

TAFE; INSPIRATION

Moving on from my original idea of looking at pictorialism in photography, I decided to merge my ideas of having a softly focused portrait and combining it with 2 more images to create one image.

and by looking at these examples I was able to find the right material to create something of my own using photographs that I took recently...

TAFE; INSPIRATION

My latest Ballet idea took me to testing some lighting set ups for my next shoot. This is the lighting Ive decided to go for however the background colour is a complete NO NO !!

This is me attempting to be a Ballerina !!! And Below is the photo that inspired me. As you can see my photo is nothing like that.. but with a change of colour scheme (this red was the biggest roll I could find at the time of this test shoot !!) I should have something a little similar.. but not too similar that I can't call it my own..

TAFE; INSPIRATION

I love plants and shooting them in an abstract way.. this is my most recent Agave..

These 2 wall papers are great inspirations for me, although I have not chosen to go for such depth of shapes and colours, I love the flow and movement in both of them...

TAFE; POP ART

In the 1960s young artists in the United States and England made popular culture their subject matter by appropriating images and objects such as common household items, advertisements from consumer products, celebrity icons, fast food, cartoons, and mass-media imagery from television, magazines, and newspapers. These artists also often used forms of mechanical reproduction that downplayed the idea of originality or the individual mark of the artist. The Pop Art style sought to test the boundaries between art and life.

And due to its utilization of found objects and images it is similar to Dada.
