Having a go

Using the framing idea from my previous images I wanted to stick with this idea to develop it slightly. I used the school studio set up and a brown wooden frame, I wanted to keep it simple and not to overcooked so asked my models to simply stand and do whatever they wished for a pose.

The images were quite dark so I brightened them up and added in some contrast to create a more vibrant image. This worked well in some images but not in others. In this image the higher contrast works well as it brings out the colour of the hair and eyes.

This image seems very staged however I still like the energy that is shown. The closer up style brings the image to life a bit more and the colours compliment the style.

This image also has a lot of vibrant colour, slightly enhanced by the contrast however seems quite detached from the frame. This is different and makes the image have a different dimension to the others.

This image is very different to the previous images. To begin with it is far more serious where as the others seem more playful. This one was designed and posed more than the previous images. The slight distortion in the arms makes the eye have to work to see the real image.

I put two of the images of Emma into photoshop and started playing around with putting in a different face to change the direction of sight and to confusion the viewer. This idea fits in well with creations like visual illusions.

This first image is a simple illusion, which shows 2 different aspects of the lines, one would show them flat and the other seems to show them standing up, in a 3D format.

This image is slightly more complex, using colour and animation to create the illusions of firstly two people looking at one another and then secondly 2 men in sombrero's sitting on the floor of a building with a young lady coming out from under an arch. This sort of work links to artist Kurt Wenner who creates amazing 3D floor illusions. Some of his art work is for general enjoyment and is humorous however some of it is also very throughout provoking and the idea of escapism is captured throughout his work.

This piece of art is a picnic, visually it is very entertaining and has a lot of fun in it shown by the people surrounding the artwork.

This image is slightly less humorous and shows the plight of people. The way in which it seems to go into the ground is amazing and it is difficult for the eye to not notice the 3D aspect of this image.
