Let me start off by saying that when I uploaded these pictures onto the blog, for some reason they all edited themselves and make the room seem much lighter than it was. Though this isn't necessarily a bad thing, I'm not entirely sure how to stop this blog from editing photographs on it's own. This weeks lesson was on using light to create duplicity. Using someone as a model, we timed the camera's shutter speed with turning a flash light on and off, allowing the person to move while it was off, creating multiple images of the same person within the same image without using photoshop. Using light in the darkness with a slow shutter speed (of multiple seconds) you can, by controlling the light, control everything that shows up in your image. In the case of the photos below, you even see multiple shadows. All photos we're taking with an f value of 8.0.
Originally Olivia appeared a lot clearer, however when the blog edited my photos she appears to be a tad bit see through. This is a lighting issue, as for parts of the picture she isn't where she used to be, and because trace amounts of light can still be seen in those spots it creates the illusion of transparency. Having a better form of concentrated light or making the distance between the locations she stands may help curve this in the future to make a more human-esque duplication of Olivia.
By understanding what will appear in the original frame, the following photos demonstrate how you can create change through lighting and movement. The original model steps off to the side as the following model steps up to the camera, making it seem as if they are transforming into each other.
The photographer/photographs I decided to take note of today are those of Timothy Hogan who advertises for multiple company's including ESPN and Tommy Bohannon's shoes. What impresses me most about Timothy is the way he is able to capture an object in motion and freeze it, using the correct shutter speed to capture the image in the most perfect moment. He also has an eye for advertising as it could be argued that the photographs he uses for adds are as powerful as his art (in a less artistic way and a more marketable way of course).
The usage of a golden back ground, the splash of beer, and the perfectly positioned label make the beer all the more enticing, with the correct lighting, you almost feel like you really are living the "high life".
Though found on google images, Timothy had a better photo of green and purple paint splashing together on his website, it was copyrighted so I couldn't put it here, but this still demonstrates his ability to take a photograph in a high shutter speed using what has to be a modified source of light to show texture you wouldn't normally see in paint.
All info was taken from his website, timothy-hogan.com, both images were from google.
