Panoramic

to create a panoramic image we went around the town to get some images in the same spot.
i stood in a spot and took a few images by going around 180 degrees.
these are the images i captured.








after that i used photoshop to invert and reconstruct the images into a panoramic picture.
this is the finished piece i created:
one of my images went issuing but i tried to rebuild the image as best as i could.

DOUBLE EXPOSURE

SUSAN BOWEN
Susan Bowen is a photographer who lives in Brooklyn, New York and is known for her panoramic-style multiple exposures.
i like how she makes this panoramic picture look as if the buildings are all connected .





i made the pictures using a special type of camera to expose pictures
i then exposed two pictures on each frame. 
this i known as double exposure and the pictures above is the outcome of my work.
each of my pictures have two to three exposures on it 
i tried to relate my work to suan bowen because she exposes multiple pictures like adding trees and buildings together 
i did this by taking a picture of a few trees and then exposed a building to form the pictures above
what the pictures look like

 








edited townscape images


in photography we did double exposure images to explore film photography
this is the outcome of my work.
in this photograph i used an overlay only because i was trying to practice different customs.
this is the finished piece i created.
i like how the tree plays a part in the formed picture by staying the same and the buildings all create a background like a silhouette .

i like this piece because it shows the movement of the street with just two formed pictures.
the people moving around shows how busy the streets can get
the people look like shadows of people who have been there and left.


in this picture i put two building together
one with a brighter view and another with a darker view
i combined these to make this piece of photograph that looks like the ghost of a building that was once there before.


MARTIN PARR
i like this image because martin parr focuses on the man with the camera but allows the pyramid to be visualized properly.
martin parr like to have humor in his work and i think he's trying to show how we look taking pictures of great monuments.

i also find martins very funny 
like in this picture of how i think he's trying to show the things that we miss with cameras 
but with our eyes we see thinks around us as a whole.

i like how martin parr takes pictures 'in the moment'.
he does this by taking a picture without the people knowing so.
again i think he's trying to show how funny people look when they pose .

i used martin parrs idea of taking pictures 'in the moment' and developed this using the technique of double exposure to create a combination of two different images taken in two different times. this combined two images in one, creating a new moment altogether.

Lee Friedlander

Lee Friedlander (born July 14, 1934) is an American photographer . In the 1960s and 70s, working primarily with 35mm cameras and black and white film, Friedlander evolved an influential and often imitated visual language of urban "social landscape," with many of his photographs including fragments of store-front reflections, structures framed by fences, posters and street signs.

i think in the photograph Lee was trying to capture the impression of the doors to a shopping center or a company building
when someone leaves another person arrives
the picture is also in black and white this was the primary color choice of the photographer
the person entering the doors is closer to the camera where as the person leaving is further away.
this might be because the photographer wanted to give the impression of someone moving closer to the building .

i think in this photograph Lee was trying to give the impression of how everyone stood by and watched the president being assassinated 
and also how many people believed it was set up by the government 
as if like a movie .


i was inspired by friedlander to add the social side to my urban landscape. 
i feel that being color blind has led me to this artist because he uses monochrome imagery .
looking at the variety of artists i researched , i have found that most of the artists i pick primarily use monochrome or limited pallets .
exploring artists that link in with my work and the techniques for producing different types of photographs has led me to learn a variety of uses that photography had and made me realize that the concept of the image is just as important as the aesthetics .  



PAUL STRAND - TOWNSCAPE

PAUL STRAND
 (October 16, 1890 – March 31, 1976) 
was an American photographer and filmmaker who helped establish photography as an art form in the 20th century. His diverse body of work, spanning six decades, covers numerous genres and subjects throughout the Americas, Europe, and Africa.
this photograph shows a bust street full of cars and trams.
i think what paul strand was trying to capture was the rampage of the city streets.


in this picture the cross is not in comparison to the building and also the mills can be seen behind the buildings.
i think what the photographer was trying to capture the towns strong belief in god and the many deaths that occurred in the mills.

i like how paul strand makes his images look like a long street 
this helps to create emphasis on the closer parts of the image but allows people to see into the distance.



i like this photograph because i like the bridge is in a dark shadow but still stands out as if it is a solid structure
this dark tone makes the bridge stand against everything in the background.
it makes the bridge look like the only way to get to the city like a giant gateway.
