Altered Portraits








The altered portrait that was the hardest to create was the one with the cracked face because it was more complex than the others and required more steps to complete, nothing to difficult but i had done it and could have possibly done alot better. The altereed portrait which was easiest to create was the over lapped image of Diana where there are 3 of her and in different collors. it was easy because it just required copying and pasting the layers and changing the color of each image.What i think altered portrait means to a viewer is just a few light and quick edits such as color adjustments, blemish removal and just things along those lines. to a photographer i think it means doing anything different to a picture like changing a color on someones clothes, making cracks on their face and anything which your imagination can think of. Out of the 7 altered portraits the one i think i would recreate is the over lapped one of diana because i really like the image and it sort of pushes i towards my style of photography which i really like. It is important to learn how to alter portraits because it furthers your photography skills and you can have a higher level of skill and be able to do more with it. I dont think all portraits should be altered because sometimes less is more and not eery portrait has to have this crazy edit, unless that is what someone does. By altering a portrait wha it allows me to do is do more than a normal color adjustments editor and it can really bring out your imagination and what you can do with an image.
Blur Motion













Blur motion is when motion is captured in an image with a slower shutter speed making it possible to do so. The way that blur motion pictures are made are by going in to the settings of the camera and lowering the shutter speed to capture motion when the shutter opens and closes. What i did to all the images in photoshop are that i increased the vibrance and brightness depending on whether the image is dark or bright. The difficult part of blur motion was to have your settings fixed and hoping the object in motion will come out good and the way you want it to. The easy part of shooting the images was using my surroundings and what was going on to get the blur motion images


Forced Perspective













This image is of a cone going down on abunch of kids, the way this image uses forced perspective was by having the kids far away and putting the cone closer to the camera above the kids. what was hard about creating the picture was the timing. I think the line of sight, depth of field and dstace afected the image was by having the right amount of space from the camera, cone and the students to create the illusion.
This image is of angel grabbing on the the edge of the soda can. the way the image uses forced persepective by making angel appear smaller than the can. The way i created the image was by having angel go further from the can in the back and hold the pose as hes grabbing on to something. I think everything tied this picture together very well in my opinion because it really does look like hes very small and seems legit.
