double exposure

Double Exposure

This is an example of my double exposure experiment between a photograph I have taken and a image from my research. I really like this example because it's transformed a boring image into an interesting experimental piece.

 'Old as a tree' I really like his style and the way he's changed the way we see and use double exposure. I really like the way he's overlapped the image with leaves that shape around the facial areas giving the impression of the original image underneath which I really like.
I don't like this one so much, I feel it's too abstract and doesn't have the artistic balance between nature and the person behind it like the others do.

Camera angles and depth of field (yet to annotate and research to add)

camera angles and depth of field
Settings throughout all following images are (unless it states in annotation that it isn't):
ISO: 6400
F:11


This is the first attempt at depth of field photography, as you can see it hasn't come out very well, the lighting isn't very good so I had to change the ISO to a higher setting and the spotted bag was supposed to be blurred and all the focus was supposed to be on the drawing and spray can but instead it's all come out the same. This is a really bad example of depth of field but i like the camera angle so I decided to further develop this image.
This is a much better example, I really like the lighting, the ISO is on the perfect setting highlighting the drawing and the focus is on the image which means everything is defined. The bag is clearly out of focus which is what I was aiming for and i think this is a really good example of depth of field and is at a great angle.

I really like this photograph, the camera angle is especially good and I like the amount of detail the camera has picked up on the lid, like the abstract reflections in the lid and the blurred drawing underneath looks good from this angle even when blurred.




I like the amount of detail picked up in this image, especially the reflection in the can. Overall it's a really good photograph from a different angle again and looks really effective.


















George Vladmimirovich depth of field photographer (Also known as George Mayer)
This russian photographer explores the human body (mainly female) in different ways, sometimes editing them a great amount on photoshop and others are much more simple defining main features in a soft subtle way and has done some fabulous photographs that are great examples for depth of field photography. Here are a few examples:



I really like this series of photographs, they explore and display great use of depth of field and various camera angles and look absolutely beautiful, very feminine and I love the amount of detail.
