Optical Art

Object Series



Fire

For my object series I chose to capture fire through different perspectives. I used a stove, a candle, a match, a lighter, birthday candles, and lit paper and a picture on fire to make it more interesting.

I was given the opportunity to take a photography class with this photographer as my teacher. He taught me a lot and showed me a lot of his work that isn't public. The way he captures everything amazes me. I couldn't find a title or date but my guess is it's only a few years old.

 

Superman, Henrik Knudsen 2013

The way he captures scenes from movies as they are now is very interesting to me. He also happens to share my last name.

 

 

Reflection of Kiwis by Window, Scott Kiche

The way he paints his fruit looks very realistic and the reflections catch my eye.

 

 

Book of Books, (2001) © Vladimir Kush

I love surrealism artists especially Kush. Many of his works somehow incorporate butterflies which I find fascinating.

 

The Legend of Giants, © Natalia Rak at Folk on the Street in Poland

I have a thing for street art and her work is always so vibrant with beautiful colors. She used nature to create her work of art around.

"Aisha"

 

 I chose to photograph my friend Aisha. I took up close pictures especially of her eyes. I layered all of the individual pictures to create one whole portrait. I also incorporated different angles of her face to make it more interesting.

"Cross"

I chose to photograph this cross at the cemetery near my house. I thought it was different and it looked really pretty. I took multiple pictures of it up close and far away. I changed the exposure of different parts of the cross to make it more interesting.

Then and Now

I'd Rather Be

I'd rather be at Disney World.

For this picture I took the same approach as the partner portrait. I decided that I would rather be in Disney World so I found a picture and used the lasso tool to cut me out and then pasted me onto the other picture. I made sure to place it in a new layer so that I could edit them separately. I adjusted the contrast, brightness, and color in order to make it blend in with the picture I got off of the internet.

"Help!!!!"

I decided to take a picture of my cousin and shrink him. I used the lasso tool to cut him out and then pasted him onto the other picture. Then I used the eraser to erase the rest of the background and clean up his edges. I played around with the contrast and brightness until it was close to resembling the background.
