Updated Concentration

This is some pictures I am editing of blue sparkles.

Another one.

Concentration Update

I think I have found a concentration I would like to stick with. I believe selective color could be a suuper cool theme to explore. Here are a few photos I took and edited to kind of get a feel for it. Any feedback would be great. Thank you.

Breadth

I was curious to see what would happen if I made a photograph look as if it were old. I kind of like this. I think it actually looks like an actual old photograph. I was wondering if perhaps I could add on this little effect for concentration? Either mask my images with an old photo effect or make the images look older as the statue breaks more out of it's shell?

I'm torn between which one I should use... Also, does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to make my statue pieces look better? I keep making edits and every time I edit I end up restarting. This would still be in the breaking stage. I still need to make some statues that are completely whole. And slowly I will turn them into human. What poses should I do?

Concentration Progress

These are some of the pictures I took just to experiment with double exposure, I started with nature but I want to move away from the nature aspect and incorporate architecture instead.

Concentration Update Cameron Reyes

I am going to probably redo some of the concentrations that I have posted on this update. One of them I personally think is really smoothly done. So, I will see how I can portray and workout these other concentrations to make them come out as clean as the one I really like. If anyone has any techniques to blend well with buildings and skies that would be very helpful!

Breadth Update #2

A few weeks ago I went to the Neon Boneyard with Mrs. Pavesich and other photo students. Here are some of my favorites that I am considering using in my Breadth. Any critics or comments will help.

Updated Concentration

I finally decided my concentration will be with studio work. I went back to a previous idea. I am going to have emphasis on color and glitter in each photo. These are two of the photos I was working on. I posted the one of Gabby a while back, but this is an updated edited version. I will be shooting various models with different colors and sparkles. Tommorow I am taking more photos.

Rachel Emig Breadth Update

I'm waiting on some of the materials from my capstone proposal, so in the meantime I've been working on [read: messing around with new techniques] some breadth pieces.

All comments welcome!

This one was intended to be a background for an idea, but I've taken a break on this one because I've run into quite a few road blocks on it. I'm just not sure how to make the composition interesting once I add the subject and the lighting hitting her.

This was one of my first times doing more realism drawing, and the idea was that it was a whole world within the chalk drawings on the sidewalk. I got carried away with the realism and am currently working on making the 'chalk' drawings actually look like chalk.

This one was more inspired by conceptual design, but oriented artistically more than anything else. I'm currently trying to figure out the colors (are they too intense on the left? should they be duller, like on the right?) and the background (I don't even know, I'm stumped) detail, so very much still a work in progress.

Also a complete work in progress, this one is going to be part of a more scenic still life piece. It's going to be placed on a grassy overlook, with unity of elements through the illustrated movement of the grass.

These are the same photos as before; however, I put them in triptychs and diptychs.  I am not sure if this is the direction I want to go, or if I want to stick with single images.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Concentration Update

I realized I needed a central theme for mine, or each photo had to be of its own. I went through and listed a few concepts I can use to take pictures. I am going to use, "Possessed, Abandoned, Psychotic,

Paranoid, and obsessed." I have inspiration photos for these and I will shoot them later this week, or this weekend and update. I don't know if all of them will be strong on there own as unity, or if one idea will fit for all, so I am going to experiment and go from there. This one I am working on for psychotic. I am going to do the crack in the paper that she holds over he face, but I am working on her face first and I will edit the crack after. Liz suggested to remove the mouth and add stitches, so that is what I am working on. The top one is the one with the stitches.

Current work in progress

Currently working on a concentration piece based on Cotard delusion (or walking corpse syndrome). I'll work on trying to make the person look thinner, but since I've never drawn an average/thin body type, it will take a while for me to figure it out... I'm also trying to fix the shading, since it's been a pain in the butt to do (and I have never been good at coloring clothing to make it seem realistic, which is why I usually don't color my drawings that have clothes, or I simply don't draw on clothes at all).

Anyway, Cotard delusion is a mental disorder where someone believes that they are dead or simply don't exist. It normally begins with psychotic depression, bipolar disorder, and hypochondria, which then blooms into thoughts of not existing, severe delusions, apathy/uncaring (as shown in the illustration/digital painting), and becoming very lethargic. In some cases, those inflicted with the disorder have hallucinations that make them believe everything around them is dead, and they are a corpse themselves. 

Concentration Post Update

I am continuing my theme of confinement.  Courtney said that confinement meant being stuck and not able to breathe, so this was my interpretation of that.

Caroline, Breadth

These are pieces from the neon field trip that I will be adding to my breadth. Any suggestions for what Principle they would go under would be appreciated.
