The Legs

Them Shoes

Here's a few shots from my latest required assignment "feet no heads." I didn't really like any of the shots to begin with, but after I played with them in PS, I they started to grow on me. I've been going through a "harsh light" phase lately where I put it on a ton of my shots, and I've grown quite fond of it. I really think it worked well for the shots I used it on. I did a variety of different things to all the shots, all of them different. The only thing I pretty much kept consistent was a levels adjustment. Enjoyz.

The Present

Untitled

This is a Rauschenberg collage I did for my dad for his birthday. I got a bunch of family and familyish pictures and put them together. After I did that, I decided to experiment. I've spent quite a bit of time making pictures look pretty and nice, so I decided to go opposite and make them look like they've been to hell and back. I looked up a couple of tutorials and used a few different methods to make all the pictures look "rough." It actually made a nice colour scheme, the yellowing photographs and the black paint splatters. So, after I screwed up the photos, I put some paint splatters on the top and viola! I was done (viola! is just a word that has to be spelled with a ! at the end of it). Enjoyz.

The Padre

Dad

Sorry I haven't posted anything lately, I've been pretty busy for the last few weeks. This is a shot of my dad I took a few weeks ago just for fun. Although we were just screwin' around, it actually turned out to be a pretty nice shot. I desaturated it to make it b&w, did a levels adjustment, and ramped up the contrast. I really like how there's a strong contrast between the upper right and the bottom left corners, almost like the background is a diagonal gradient. Enjoyz.
