Unusual and Interesting Photos

 Part 1

1. What is your reaction to his work?


    These kinds of photos are definitely unique, some of the photos were pretty cool. I'm not really sure how to react to these photos, some of they look cool to me, but a lot of them look the same.

2. How do you think he made these photos?
  
     I know these photos had some kind of Photoshop work. I think what the photographer did was take one or two photos, he has different methods. The one photo method, he the one photo and makes two copies of it, then he changes the opacity of the two that he rotates and keeps the full opacity on the center, non rotated photo. The two picture method, the photographer take one picture not as zoomed in, and then takes three pictures zoomed in and then does the same method as the one photo method.


3 Think about some buildings you have seen, which ones would be good to take a photo like this? Tell me about those buildings, where are they, could you get easy access to them?

     A good tower to do this method to would be the UT tower downtown. It's defiantly not immediate access, but it's possible to get to.

Part 3 

1)    Below "The Gossips" by Norman Rockwell, it talks about capturing a story with a picture, through facial expression, which I think is important because facial expression can make a picture good or bad, it's the only thing you can judge in a picture.

Below "The Runaway" by Norman Rockwell, it talks about planting an image inside someones head as soon as they see the picture. That is very important, you want people to remember your picture.

Below "Cambell's Soup Cans" by Andy Warhol", it talks about "making ordinary seem extraordinary" which is important when taking pictures in a school, where cop car chases and people jumping from burning buildings doesn't happen very often.

4) The photo caught the facial expressions of a winning team, and a player of the losing team. The photographer caught emotions in the picture, which tells us a story. With that said, the photographer followed the instructions.

5) Norman Rockwell's style influenced me the most because his paintings looked so real and captured a story in a photo, or painting rather. His paintings are so realistic you don't believe what you see.
