Experimenting at Kits Point, Vancouver BC

I went out shooting today and tried a mixture of long exposures and multiple exposures. The sun was out and the clouds were beautiful! A great day for making images :)

Below are a few images I took the other day around my neighbourhood....

Long Exposure- Day 2

Today we all scattered about the city and took long exposures. Here are a few of my images...

Vancouver in Flames

June 15 2011, the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins. Frustrated with the loss, angry fans revolted against the city, tearing it apart.

The day after the riots, disappointed citizens came together to clean up the mess that was left over in their beloved city.

Long Exposure

Yesterday we went to Crescent Beach in White Rock to practice long exposures. In order to get this effect, we had neutral density filters on our camera's and left the shutter open for several minutes. We had a good time and it was a nice change having class outside of the classroom!

Product Light Painting

Today we did product light painting in the studio. We brought in a product to shoot along with some fun props. I struggled at first trying to come up with an interesting concept, but after a few different setups I discovered an interesting technique. Keep in mind I am shooting in a completely dark space with just a few lights and gels to work with :) Below are a few of my successful images...

Artist Emulation Project

For our History of Vision class we are studying artists from the past. One of our assignments is to pick a photographer that inspires us and emulate one of their photos. I chose Man Ray because of his surrealistic style and unusual imagery. Below is Man Ray's original image, followed by my representation of it....

Photoshop Final!

For my photoshop final project I incorporated all that I have learned in photoshop thus far (Color Balance, Retouching, Masking, Editing, Blending, and Working With Layers) to create an unusual image. I took a portrait of someone in my class and added features from other people in my class. The eyes, nose, left eyebrow and monkey head are a combination  of my classmates.


Below is the result...
