Abstraction
I think abstract is something very much different to other things or something extraordinary
I think the photographer was interested in how the light was making these shape all so with the shows I will call this '' light and shade '' and knowing this shows your thinking and understanding of the picture I think this picture is to hard to identify.
The Formal Elements
Photographers are usually aware of the ways in which they can create interest in their images beyond the simple fact of the subject. This is what separates good pictures and bad pictures of the same thing. The following list describes some of the abstract elements in any photograph. Below the list is an example of how you can analyse a photograph looking for these things specifically and how this helps to give the image meaning:
Focus:
Light: Line: Repetition: Shape: Space: Texture: |
Which areas appear clearest or sharpest in the photograph? Which do not?
Which areas of the photograph are brightest? Are there any shadows? Does the photograph allow you to guess the time of day? Is the light natural or artificial? Harsh or soft? Reflected or direct? Are there objects in the photograph that act as lines? Are they straight, curvy, thin, thick? Do the lines create direction in the photograph? Do they outline? Do the lines show movement or energy? Are there any objects, shapes or lines which repeat and create a pattern? Do you see geometric (straight edged) or organic (curvy) shapes? Which are they? Is there depth to the photograph or does it seem shallow? What creates this appearance? Are there important negative (empty) spaces in addition to positive (solid) spaces? Is there depth created by spatial illusions i.e. perspective? If you could touch the surface of the photograph how would it feel? How do the objects in the picture look like they would feel? Is there a range of tones from dark to light? Where is the darkest value? Where is the lightest? |
what i like: In this photo- weave I see this as an abstract image, that I could say it plays tricks with your mind, I all so think it is was good for a start for my first abstract image I like the way it looks unclear with what is at the back this is because in most abstract images its unclear this is what make this image abstract.Also I like the way the images amerged
My first peace
This was my fist attempt of making this type of image, I fist started out with cutting my image into all sorts of shapes, once doing that I needed to give it a back ground so it could have a better effect, after I had put it in I used a scaner to have a full close up image of this photograph.
My second peace
To make these images I used Camera Bag, all so I added different effects to see what the same image would look like with different courls by doing this i had other images to look at ad di witch will be my best image.
MY BEST IMAGE
I chose this image because I felt this really showed the effect of the back ground , all so I like the way the shadow overlaps each other and makes the image at the back look part of it also the structure of of my face will alow light to take place if I should improve this I should use a different image but with slighly the same idea
exploring new ideas peace two
In this picture I was looking at how I could make this image look different and all so know where I need to improve. I started off by using a different image but with slightly the same idea witch was cutting in shapes but in other places for example in my first peace I had my shapes cut out around around my face wiles in these images i have them in my face and other places e.g my ears,eyes,and neck I did this because to link back to the theme abstact those parts of your body are sometimes not the main focus so by doing this it brings atention.
My third peace
An effective way I used this image was by adding in a lot off deteal for example you can see the improvements off my image with more shapes added in and also coulur this will give the imprestion that I have made progress with these images I would hope to compltely move on from this and look for other ideas I could use to make maybe a forth peace.
MY FINAL PEACE
I think I have shown effectively the improvement I have done with this image I started this by taking the picture and then importing it on to photoshop then used photoshop tools to get my images to look like this
