There are multiple methods that you could use to recreate the style of this artist. How many can you think of?
By looking at this artist, you will learn how to layer images to suggest movement or life in a busy place. You will be forced to think about composition in a different way to previous, and you’ll explore a few different methods.
To be successful in this technique you will need to:
- Choose an interesting building to focus on
- Include people in your photos
- Work in squares and rectangles
- Include areas of different brightness and contrast
- Include some areas that are blurred to suggest movement
STEPS:
Take your photos:
- Take 4 photographs of one section of the school.
- They should be full buildings
Upload your photos to your computer, place in a folder named with the task.
Edited outcome instructions:
– Open your best photo
- Select a section, hold down alt then move over to copy the section to a new layer.
- Use the transform and move tools to enlarge slightly and/or move over slightly.
- Repeat multiple times, include a mixture of clear and blurred images by adding a motion blur whilst you have the selection still highlighted.
- Vary the size of your selections – small/large squares/rectangles
- Edit sections so the colours and contrast are slightly varied
- Upload full size when complete to your Behance Visual Diary!
REFLECTION:
Compare with the person next to you – what is working? What isn’t? How could you improve? Write some notes under your image in your project post. Make sure you add the process and how you created it.
