David Hockney was born in Bradford, England in 1936. Hockney attended art school before leaving to Los Angeles in 1960. There he began painting his most famous pool paintings. In 1970, he took interest in photography and enjoyed making photo collages, which he called "joiners". He's still very active in the art community and was voted the most influential British artist of the 20th century. My artwork emulates his style in the way that I used multiple images to create a college of the same picture, even if the images don't line up exactly to the original photo. I created my collage by taking photos of one area with differing angles. I took an image of the whole picture, and then went from top left-top right, etc. I did this by the compositional rule I wanted to do, and then found a place or object that showed the rule of line and crop. I created the collage using photoshop. In Photoshop, I opened file-new and made sure the dimensions were 11x14 with a 300 resolution. Using the move tool, I then dragged the image I wanted to add into the Photoshop icon. I then cropped the image to make it smaller to create my collage. I repeated the same step with all the images I used, changing the image sizes, in order to create my collage. Later after i was happy with my finished piece I merged all the layers together to get the finishing piece.

I chose the magazine i used because the way the model posed is the same way some a celebrity would pose for this magazine cover. What I like is my models pose. He made it look like he's been modeling for years and made it look like he's very experienced in modeling. What I did to emulate the magazine cover was have my model pose anyway he wanted. I continues to take more pictures in order to capture the right photograph. I then chose the right picture for the magazine and continued the process in emulating the picture. The font style I wanted to use was the same as the magazine but sadly it was not on photoshop for me to use. So instead i just used the closest to it which was MS Reference Sand Serif Regular. The colors I used for the font were red, gray, and white in order to match the same as the GQ Magazine. My setup for the process of the magazine cover was using lots of layer mask. I got a white background on google to match the one on the actual magazine cover. I then proceeded into making the layer masks. I got the magazine logo "GQ", put it on the left hand corner, then put article titles on the magazine the same way the magazine would have. Then i put everything together and got the finishing piece. A strobe light is a light that is used to produce regular flashes of light. I used tis through a cord that connected to my camera to the lights, and when i clicked to take a picture (pressed on the shutter), the light would trigger. I usd this when I wanted an image with lighting in a certain place in my picture. Modeling light is a light built into a flash unit that remains on while the flash is turned on when the photographer isn't taking a photo, allowing the photographer to assess highlight and shadow areas that will be made when exposing the subject to the brighter light of the flash.A softbox is a light modifier. A softbox diffuses the light into a pleasing soft, even light, so harsh shadows won't be so harsh. I would use a soft box when I want to emulate window light. A reflector is a piece of reflective material to bounce light in a certain direction. This is used to distribute light where it is not naturally or originally placed. You use it by capturing the light onto the material and moving the reflector in the direction of the subject so the light bounces in that direction. A grey card is a card with grey, black, and white colors on it. It is used to find the correct exposure for an image. A radio trigger is a small radio unit normally mounted on the camera hot shoe. A small receiver unit is also mounted on the off-camera flash. The radio trigger saves having the camera and flash connected by long wires. I would use it to have full mobility when taking a picture and not worry about tripping over or destroying cords.
Sleeping Beauty
The name of my photograph is named Sleeping Beauty. I chose to name my photograph like that because my niece is “sleeping” in the picture waiting to be woken up just like Sleeping Beauty was. I didn’t use no compositional rule in the making of this picture. I didn’t use no fancy camera but instead used my iPhone 5c that I used to have. I used iPhoto to edit the filter and make it a bit darker so the sunflowers and the paint on her face would pop out more. My photograph is in the Portrait division because it’s a picture of a person showing her sleeping mood and the color on her face and the sunflowers are surrounding her to show she’s also in her happy mood with a tiny smirk on her face. The picture was printed on Epson Glossy Photo Paper on the Epson P800 digital printer. |
