Digital Experimentation Theme:Loneliness/Distortion 1

These are some of my Digital Pictures from my Loneliness/Distortion photoshoot. As this picture was originally just a portrait i wanted to use photoshop to distort it in some way and to do this i used the liquidify tool as well as changing the contrast of my image to look more black and white instead of greyscale.





This image is a example of a effect i did with the camera i told my model to shake his head really quite fast and i captured this with a slow shutter speed for 5seconds.I then imported this into photoshop and again made it more contrasty.


In this image I've manipulated it by colorising it black and white as well as burning the photograph using the burn tool to make the whole image convey a gloomy look this way it links into the theme of loneliness and isolation from others. With this composition I've tried to make it look as if the model is playing the guitar for comfort like the guitar is basically his friend, his companion.


This Manipulation is off a tutorial i followed to produce a gritty effect to my images. The enhancement on this image is my favourite out of all the ones I've done i think this is something i will  experiment with more on perhaps more posed images, images that convey the emotion of fear or sadness to link into the theme of emotion.

Developing ideas: Cinemagraphs and Digital Experimentation

This is a GIF i did using photoshop, I did this by first doing a mini photo shoot whereby my model slowly moved her hands to distort her face, then when these photographs were taken i imported them into photoshop and began placing them in frames using the animation window. And this was my result.




This is a David Hockney inspired experimentation, I began by taking images around my model then printed them out and cut and stuck them in a way that distorted the figure but that the multiple viewpoints could be seen.

As its seen my models head appears bigger than his body which relates to my theme of distortion really quite well he also looks like a caricature which is a really nice effect.
