Telling Stories in Photos I listened first to photographer Jason Eskenazi’s video on the art of using photography as a method of storytelling. I never thought of the idea of changing a 3D world to a 2D world – the words “clean, simple, direct” are often not associated with art. We try to pack things with so much meaning that I think sometimes people try to make it =too= obvious what they are trying to say, instead of leaving “mystery” as Mr. Eskenazi says, and letting people come up with their own ideas about what the photo means. Geometry, repetition ...
She Might Kill Me For This!

Another visual assignment I did this week was turning an ordinary portrait of someone into an extraordinary portrait. Naturally, I chose my wife. I picked one of my favorite pictures of her (isn’t she just beautiful!) and made her look like a pop-art vampire. I did this by airbrushing the original photo with different pressures in Gimp. Then I cartoonized it with the artistic filter. Here is the final product: And here is the original: Hopefully she won’t be too upset!
Normal To Extraordinary

Normal To Extraordinary For my first visual assignment I chose to do a 3 Star assignment. I chose my sisters as my person and changed her normal pictures into something extraordinary (Hopefully). I love the movie Funny Face by the fabulous Audrey Hepburn. It’s the story of how a simple store girl became this fabulous model for the handsome photographer Dick Avery. This movie is similar to what the assignment asks us to do…take something normal as a simple picture and turn it into this amazing thing just like how Avery took Audrey Hepburn from normal to extraordinary. ...
Extra-Ordinary

Half Man, Half Scare Crow. Though I didn’t do his make up myself I really liked this photo. It was his makeup for Cornstalkers in Halloween Haunt which I think made him look pretty extraordinary. I used the app ColorSplash on my iPhone to do the black and white with the colored regions in the make up and eyes (really just cause I have the app and wanted to use it more)

This visual assignment was about turning a normal picture into something extraordinary. When I first read this, I knew exactly what picture I could use. My roommate from last year edited this picture of us when we went to the river together last spring. She gave me a cowboy hat and a mustache and gave herself a black hat and gotee. I called her to ask for permission to use this picture, but as I was talking to her, I decided I kind of wanted to try my hand at it. So she gave me the website she used to ...

We had a lot of fun with this picture. My friend loves to do her makeup, and usually takes hours getting ready so I thought I’d ask her to do this for me. We took paint and dripped it down her face. Set her up against the Eagle Landing courtyard fence and took a picture. Iv always been interested in paint and i just remember seeing famous portraits taken with paint so I decided to have fun and try. After I uploaded the picture I used a picture editing site called PicMonkey. Here I created a collage and uploaded a ...
Normal To Extrordinary: The dot effect

I really liked the assignment for Normal to Extraordinary. It creates normal pictures (of extraordinary people) into something different. I knew I immediately wanted to do my best friend, so I went through the pictures I have of her and came across one she sent me when she was bored one day (accompanied by pictures with “I” and “you”). I really liked this picture because it describes her. She is such a sweetheart. I used Pixlr again and started playing around with effects. I came across the “pointize” effect and thought it looked like an old pop culture painting. I took the ...
“flash” in time

Okay——–This will definitely NOT earn me a “Grandmother of the Year” award! Anyway, my visual remix is a picture of my grandsons at Orange Beech this summer. I used pixlr for my project as a last resort. My initial plan was to “creep” this photo into the final beech scene from the original Planet of the Apes movie. Unfortunately, my creative brain far exceeds my technology brain (which isn’t saying much!), so I turned to plan B. I guess I still had the juices flowing from my American Lit class earlier this morning. We were discussing Native American origin ...
Remix #1

This is a photo of my youngest daughter, Erica, from Easter 2011. I’ve always loved the expression on her face and the bright colors in the picture. I tried to add effects that made the picture more dream-like. Erica is my free-spirited child who often loses herself in imaginary play for hours. She is sweet and caring. I wanted to portray that essence here. I used a program called FotoFlexer to alter this picture. I played quite a bit with the distortion, twirling the flowers, leaves, and branches. Then I used the neon effect to brighten the colors. I was ...

From Normal… …To Extraordinary! The Assignment: Transform someone from normal to extraordinary. The Process: The original prompt says to use someone else, but I decided to just use myself. So, I took a picture of myself wearing a wig to edit in Photoshop. I enlarged the eyes using the liquify tool. Then, I went to the filter gallery and used 3 filters (I forget 2 of them, but 1 was the water paper affect). Additionally, I went into lens correction and messed with the vignette setting. Afterwards, I opened it in iPhoto to adjust the contrast, definition, and sharpness a ...
