PHOTOGRAPHING / LOOK 1 / HALLUCINATE / GODFIDENCE

 Hi,

In this blog, I will be posting about the photographing process and the results I got.

SET-UP

I went to a parking lot where I could take some pictures without being disturbed by people in the background or being annoyed by the strong wind. Then, I set up my tripod in a place where the lighting was good.

//

I tried using the fabric as background but then it didn't work out the way I wanted and it was also harder to photoshop later on so, instead, I just used the fabric on myself.

//

PHOTOGRAPHS

These are some images of the photoshoot, at the end of the shoot I had 500+ images on my phone which then I had to select the best ones out of and start editing. Selecting the good images out of 500+ images was a harder process than taking the pictures itself. Even though I won't be using all the pictures I still tried different types of poses, because you never know what you might come up with during photoshopping and they may all come in handy or not but then I at least tried.

IDEAS GENERATION / BRINGING THE IDEAS TO LIFE

 Hi,

In this blog, I will be posting about the ideas generation for my project and the purchases I have done for my project.

IDEAS GENERATION / PROCESS

The idea for my shoot started off by getting inspired by Rihanna's music video in which you can see the galaxy and the futuristic theme that I want to recreate. You can see clearly what I mean by looking at the image.

//

Now that I had the idea of the vibe and background I had to find some inspiration for the clothes so, I went to London and looked at stores because London plays a huge role in the Fashion industry. This piece in the image is the one that inspired me the most. It has both the modern and futuristic vibe to it which makes it so unique and artistic. 

//

Then I decided to buy a fabric that is close to the fabric I saw in the store and decided to make gloves out of it for my outfit and use the rest in different ways in the photographs. When buying the fabric I was unable to find the purple colour so I bought a blue and pink one so that I could, later on, sew them together and create purple.

//

In my previous blog, I mentioned how I got inspired by the purple hair, make-up, and crystal crown.

In this image, you can see the final results of the gloves and the crystal crown that I purchased.

This is an image for my 2D/3D task but, you can see the purple wig that I originally purchased for the project and intend to use later on.

The man / class task

 Hi,

In this blog, I will be showing the process of creating a man out of the drawing we have done in class.

‘You can see a face it is a man's face, grizzly and marked, his mouth is but a black slit and his hair a nest of dirty matted strands, his eyes are emerald green, piercing and shining, looking right at you, seeing into you…’

This is the drawing that I made

These are the drawings of my classmates.

EDITING PROCESS

I started with my own drawing as a background. 

//

Then I started adding elements from the drawings of my classmates. I added the eye of this drawing.

//

I added the eyebrows of a drawing on this one.

//

Then once again I added an eye.

//

Then, I used the pupil of a drawing and added it to the eye.

//

Then, I added the beard of a drawing.

//

As of last, I added lips from a drawing.

//

FINAL RESULT

This is the result of me putting the images together.

Class Experiment

 HI,

In this blog, I will be posting the experiment I did digitally that I can, later on, use on my own photographs as well.

I started by finding an image that I can use and then cut it out with the right tools.

Then, I put an image that I thought fits my project as background.

//

And then I started experimenting with the effects, lights, sharpness...

Now that I have experimented, it can make the process of creating my project easier.

AMETHYST CRYSTAL / class research

 Hi,

In this blog, I will be doing research on Amethyst crystals as a 10-minute class task.

AMETHYST

Fossilera Minerals 

Because of its beautiful colouration as well as its spiritual and literal sense, amethyst is one of the most well-known and popular crystals. Amethyst has a spiritual sense of grounding, tranquillity, and calm. The name Amethyst is originated from the Greek word améthystos, which means "not intoxicated."simply looking at this brilliant crystal will bring you instant peace of mind. In fact, throughout history, the sparkling purple and white colours have symbolized emotional and spiritual sobriety. You will instantly feel the anger, frustrations, and furies escaping your body by rubbing Amethyst on your forehead, navel, or heart.

How to Use Your Amethyst Crystal for Finding Peace

Our favourite way to use the Amethyst crystal properties for finding inner peace is to create a crystal program for yourself. By wearing Amethyst crystal jewellery, carrying the stone with you, and adding it into your space, you can create an internal and external environment of peace and relaxation no matter where you are or what you are doing.
