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.

The Lego's

Here's a few images from one of my outside photography assignments - scale. It might not look like it, but these were totally a pain to edit. They reflected alotta light, so I had t do some major post-production to get rid of the billions of hotspots in each shot. They're not the best in my opinion, but it was strangely fun to play with Lego's.

The Wave

Untitled

I took this shot about 2 weeks ago at the beach (obviously). I think it's an alright shot, but the salty water really makes the horizon look like garbage. I made about 3 layers and did curves/levels/bunches of different stuff to bring out the background. Enjoy.
