experimental sketchbook 2

For this series, we used one of the effects somebody else used in their series last time, and we made a cohesive set from that one effect. I used the blue curves effect that Maria used. I added more blue to each picture. I approached this set by looking at my classmate's blogs and seeing what effects they used. I chose one that I liked and used it in this set. I would develop my series further by taking more pictures that would look alright with the blue boosted.

For this series, we first edited the pictures we already took and added filters and text. I didn't really use filters, but I did use the clone stamp, color replacement, and free transform tools. I also changed the brightness, saturation, and hues. For a lot of them I used both photoshop and picmonkey. In picmonkey, I used most of the edits that are supposed to be for faces (for example, the blemish fix and airbrush tools.) I know that these pictures don't look great nor perfectly edited, but that's sort of the point.

These are the best photos from the three Eugene Atget series. I wanted to capture the detail in the stairs and not have a distracting background, or no background at all. I tried to make each picture have an interesting, extra object, like newspaper, leaves, or a plant.

This week, we tired to improve our photos and make more goals. I wanted to focus in on even more detail. I also didn't want the whole staircase, but just a couple of stairs. I cropped the pictures, getting rid of the background.

This week, we tried to improve our photographs and ultimately achieve our goals from last week. I only photographed stairs, put all my images in black and white, focused in on detail, and only had six photos.

Eugene Atget

For this assignment, we researched a photographer and took pictures like he did. I chose Eugene Atget. My goals were to take straight-on photos on staircases and doors. I also wanted to take photos of walls from an angle. I edited most of them to be black and white, like he did.
