Presented within this post is a few of the computer experiments that I have created within Photoshop with the images that I have presented within my shoots.
This is from one of my first shoots, I chose to create a double exposure image with two images that I took within this shoot. My main idea was to incorporate a man-made use and a natural use in the same image which I have done above. By bringing and image of a road and a field it shows how man-made an natural land uses come together to make up the world. To create this image I took both the black and white versions of the images into Photoshop and made them into layers, the road image was the top layer and within the mask layer I used the black paintbrush tool to gradually bring the images together. In the screen shot image the mask layer is visible and shows how much I painted onto the mask to bring the images together gradually. I was simply just experimenting with this technique but I made it work with all of my shoots.
This image is similar to the experiment I carried out before, it uses the same natural image but the man-made land use is of a train track that I took in a different shoot. By incorporating images from different shoots it shows how I am linking all of my shoots together and creating images that can be used in my final outcomes. This experiment is another double exposure and it was created in the same way as the image before. I have chosen to use these images in black and white because I think the images flow better when they are like this as no colours are in the image to distract from the actual meaning. Both these images were put into Photoshop, I used the mask layer and black paintbrush tool to gradually merge the images together.
The image above is a panoramic shot of the Arsenal Stadium, I chose to create this shot to show the scale of the building and to use it to compare to older buildings like the old Arsenal Stadium located near this one. I wanted to show how modern this building is because of the use of glass windows and the amount of concrete used within it. As most of my images are documented in black and white I chose to make this image black and white, I think it looks better this way as it stands out more and the negative/positive atmospheres are expressed through the tones. To create this image I took three images of the stadium on a tripod, I put all three of these images into Photoshop and using the photo merge filter I merged all of these images together. After the panorama was created I then changed the image to black and white and the above image was the final outcome.
This is another example of the computer experiments that I have created, this one has more of an unrealistic, abstract atmosphere. I took the original image into Photoshop and adjusted the curved to make the image slightly darker so they only feature visible was the light trails that were created. After adjusting the curved layer I used the hue/saturation layer to increase the saturation and reduce the hue so that this colour was achieved. I chose to use this colour because it is bold and abstract, by editing this in this way it doesn't automatically strike to use that it is a road we are just focusing on the light trails and the colours. By creating an image in this way it shows how I am broadening my experiments and focusing on not just keeping the images black and white.
This another example of experimenting with the double exposure effect, I chose to use two different images of the same place from different shoots. By using images from different shoots it shows how I am developing my work and bringing the images together, the final outcomes of these images are important and this relies on how well my shoots relate to each other. In my shoots I have documented images on the M25 bridge, these two images are from the same place but one was taken in the dark and the other during the day. I chose to bring them together to show how the images contrast each other but also to show how they link to show the land uses of this place.
