Final Concentration Images

These photos are in order of when they were completed, with the last photo being the  most recent.

New Photos!

During Spring Break, I really took photos that used humans to express media vs. reality. I also included one more scene photo. Please let me know what you think!

Urban vs Rural

Week 6 update

Here is my updated candy photo.

I planned some more body image shots (comparing skinny and normal) and a scenary shot (comparing the city and the Gorge).

This week, I worked with the coloring of a few of the images. I did not like the original red color of the image, so I switched it to yellow. I think it is better for describing the mood.
This weekend and next week, I plan of taking all of my images so that I can focus on editting from here on out.

Week 4 Concentration

Here are my final concentration images so far:

I need advice!

Should Barbie be blue or pink?? Please let me know.

Concentration Update

I wasn't able to take any new pictures this week. However, I was able to come up with ideas of photos to take this weekend. During this class, I have been playing around with the color on my dyptics. I am thinking of making the color much more dramatic in the "perfect" photos. The photo above is not finished AT ALL, but it is the direction that I am currently deciding on going.

Week 2

This week, I played around with using dyptics. I am using color to portray the way that the media portrays what life should be. Black and white is used to portray what reality is or what reality has become because of the media. This weekend, I will be retaking pictures with different lighting (like the candy one) and taking new pictures as well.

Here are some more pictures that I took this week. I am thinking of doing dyptics where one photo is how the media portrays life and the other how life really is. The media life will be portrayed in color and the real world will be in black and white (obviously, I have to switch the color of some of the images above). This color change emphasises on the idea that compared to TV and magazines, everyday life seems boring. After being exposed to this idea enough, people start to  believe it.  

Concentration.

Last weekend, I didn't take any pictures. Instead, I planned out what I will take photos of and how I'll do it. I will be using some photos from my Photostory collection in my concentration because they have the same theme. Some of the photos are shown twice because they appear in a group. I am deciding on whether or not to show them individually or in the groups shown.
