New Idea for Self Portraits – Weekly Extra

By on 10/23/2014

After spending tireless hours contemplating what step I should take next in my self portrait project I have found a new way to do a double exposure, but also make it look unique to my other double exposures. I decided

The Met

I like Study of a Young Woman by Johannes Vermeer. I chose that as the painting to base my work off of. I’d attach what I made, but it’s three and a half gigabytes. I re-cut The Godfather Part II into

Photoshop

By on 10/02/2014

Photoshop is a waste of time. I’m all for straight photography and discriminate against putting special effects on photos. It’s a waste of time and is degrading to the real work done with the camera. The photos I take are

Steven Soderbergh (director of  Ocean’s 11, Traffic, Behind The Candelabra) is pretty cool. I really like some of his work and think he has a great and original approach to film. Sadly, he recently retired from directing movies. There’s good news, he is

Thomas Kneubühler’s work really intrigues me. His work focuses on light coming out of the dark. I love the contrast of his photos and the way the light really stands out and creates contrast against the dark. His website says that,

Last Photo Assignment

By on 06/16/2014
