Minimalism

Face Swap

Minimalism Phase 1

1. Minimalism is when in the photo, there is not much going on but it still shows the picture. Qualities that minimalism photographers should possess is being able to make an artistic photo with only a little object. 

 I love the colors and how it all blends together and I love the plane and how it makes the picture come together and look very nice.

 I love the setting and the way the dock and the water is viewed from the photograph and it makes it look really nice.

I love this photo because I love ow the bright colors come together with the brown, dirt road. It makes the photograph look very nice.

Triptych

Gottfried Helnwein image continued

This changes my interpretation of the image because before it looked like the man was meant to be there and now seeing it zoomed out I know that the man was not supposed to be there. 

I see a girl, a van, a stage, a red sign, 3 people, a microphone and trees in the background and it looks like its on the water. It is a picture spliced together. It looks like it is an an urban area. I think the intended audience is everyone who lives there. The mood of this image is dark and suspenseful, the girl looks sad. I think the title suggests that she is the last girl and has to fight to survive. 

Gottfried Helnwein

This image is of half a person's face and a person climbing up the nose with a piece of string. I think that the person is climbing up the nose. This is a artistic image and yes the image is not photoshopped. The meaning of this image is to never give up/ I think the photographer's intent was to give a message about never giving up. The image tells me to never give up. The difference in scale between the man and the girl's face is that the girl is very big like it could be a cover of something or on a billboard and the man could be small because it's supposed to express the meaning bout how you should never give up/

Photograph Your Fear

Lost In The World

What is the general premise of the video? The General premise of the video is to show our life with phones. 

Is the video effective in conveying it's intended message? Yes it is. 

Do you feel that this is more of a cautionary story or more of an examination of our current social situation? Why? I think that this video is more of a cautionary story because it is showing everyone on their phones being lost, and when bad things happen they go straight to their phones and don't even pay attention to whats going on.

What is Photography?

What is Photography?

1) The question that Erik posed to the audience was "what is photography?"
2) His first real passion was drawing.
3) The conception of photography that Erik previously held was the process from when you press the clicker, and that is something that everyone can do.
4) This inspired him because it made him want to be different from anyone else and do something new with photography.
5) The common goal that Erik's photos had was to make it very realistic.
6) Realism is showing something that is impossible to happen and make it look real in a photo.
7) The principles that he adhered to when creating an image was lighting, color and depth perception.
8) It is easier to create a place rather than to find a place because you can use your imagination, and there are no limits.
9) He plans his photo by sketching it first, taking the pictures or finding the pictures and then combining the pictures.
10) His conclusion was the only thing that limits us is our imagination.
