double exposure

double exposure

most of the tries.

I used Photoshop CS6 to make the effect of double exposure and chooses between “Overlay” “Screen” and “ Soft-light”. The resultwere often unexpected , which gave double exposure it’s charm. The choice off the image should be simple and show a obviousmessage. Examples of the compositions are shown at the left. I used 1:1 in most of my tries.

TRIAL

Both of the photograph are regarding the road. The first one shows a lonely feeling when walking back home after a fatigued day .the second one give a positive mood of dreams and future. I combined these two to show that the effort we put into every day’slife decide and lead our future.

TRIAL

This double exposure gave two “simple” photographs a brand new life. The first one is the inverted reflection in water of a tree and the secondis a dirty window. surprisingly when this two combined , the dirty window seems like snow , which created a completely different theme.

OVERLAY SOFT-LIGHT

FINAL RESULT

This is the final result after few trials. The cloud and the windmill gave a dreamy intense color. The reason of me choosing “overlay”as the blending mode of the layer is because I love the color when the shadow underneath the cloud and the sunset combined.

TRIAL

There was a period of time when I could not enjoy photography as much as before and my photographs gradually show a darker tone with brown andblack as the main hue. Although I did appreciate those images , but I missed the color that was once by my side. Therefore when I finished this colorfulseries of photos, I named it “Finally,Colours Returned to Me”.

taken apart

This project was assigned in Art & Design class (IGCSE).We were given the topic “ Taken Apart” and were free to use any media.I choose photography as it is my strongest skill. At first I thought aboutall the elements related to “Taken Apart” and did an mind map. Then Icame across the thought of destruction. From there I developed this serieof photographs.

In the following photographs , few photos were being destroyed by burningor tearing. Thoese photos are either a symbol of relationship, memory or emotion. By recording them being destoryed , I want to express thatrelationships , memory and emotions dose not disappear , they change into different forms and continue to live deep inside our heart.

Every relationship and momory influenced us as a individual person.

Every emotion occurred , reveal who we are.

Even though those events are unchangeable they will still influence ourchangeable future.
