Altered Portraits

The hardest altered portrait to create was probably the cyanotype because I tried creating it in a unique way having the burnt created crop and I could not crate a good one! I tried creating those burn sides and maybe they weren't necessary but I really wanted to do it :( .

The easiest portrait to create was sepia, by far, the EASIEST. I knew how to create sepia before so it was very simple for me to create it.

An altered portrait to someone who doesn't take photos or edit them wont understand the time and creativity it takes to create the amazing altered portrait you see v.s. a photographer who sees altered portraits as a masterpiece and work of art. I will 99% sure recreate a RGB image overlay altered portrait as it is easy and creates such an amazing effect and so beautiful in edits.

The historical significance of the photo with the flowers drawn is historical because it shows how in older photos people couldn't have color so they had to draw their own effects or colors into photos.

It is important to do altered portraits because it teaches how to be very creative and create all of these cool effects and expands your range of photography. This is very important especially if this is your career path.

No not all portraits should be altered as some should just be normal and fun and happy because some portraits that should be left alone are stuff like family portraits, maybe even solo portraits as long as the subject wants them edited or not.

When you edit a portrait or alter a portrait you make it YOUR masterpiece not anyone else's it becomes unique in a sense.

Blur Motion

Blur motion is the art of capturing photos that present an unstable motion. This means the photo wont be a clear, but an arranged blurry photo. We created blur motion by increasing our F-stop, dropping our ISO level, and decreasing the shutter speed to about 1-5. IN photoshop I didn't touch the images too much, I just adjusted the brightness, saturation, color balance, and I fixed blur on some photos. There wasn't really anything difficult about shooting this image. It was easy to shoot these images as I know how to fix settings for the photo to be what I want.

Forced Perspective

1. This image is Erick in a big trashcan, poking his body out.

2. Yes it creates the effect that Erick is small and the trash can is bigger.

3. We created this image by pushing Erick back and putting the trashcan in front of Erick.

4. Positioning Ericks hands which we still couldn't get.

5. The depth of field helped us create the trashcan looking bigger and making Erick look tiny as he hope out of it.

1. This image is Erick being chased by a big ghost.

2. This image creates the effect that Erick is being chased by a ghost and a life sized ghost at that matter.

3. We created this image like the other one by positioning Erick further back and putting aa keychain ghost closer to the camera.

4. Nothing was hard about this photo just positioning being a hassle but that is about it.

5. The line of sight really helped us as it created the effect of Erick being chased by a ghost instead of a ghost just chillin there.

1. My image is of Erick being flown away by a big balloon.

2. This image creates the effect that Erick is floating when he is not.

3. We created this image by lining Erick up with the string of the balloon to create the effect of him holding onto it.

4. The hard part was like always positioning Ericks hands especially when we were the only two in our group shooting that day.

5. The line of sight helps creates the effect as his hands position well people can tell whats going on.

1. My image is of Erick doing a layup with a basketball on a fake hoop.

2. This image uses forced perspective as it creates the effect of Erick shooting a basketball on a hoop that doesn't exist.

3. We created this image by drawing a fake basketball hoop and using the basketball I had and faking it that he was shooting the ball.

4. The hard part about creating this image was creating an actual basketball hoop which didn't turn out the best but we tried...

5. The line of sight was the key in this photo because it helps show what Erick is doing with the basketball.

1. My image is of tabitha being crushed by a water bottle.

2. This image creates forced perspective as it creates the effect of Tabs being crushed by a water bottle even though the water bottle is smaller than Tabitha.

3. I created this image by positioning the water bottle close while positioning Tabitha from a bit away.

4. Honestly nothing was hard about this image it was quick and easy no hassle.

5. The depth of field helps assist my image as it shows and creates how big the water bottle is when it is not.

1. This image is of Tabitha climbing some stairs going up and reaching the top.

2. It uses forced perspective as it creates the effect of Tabitha walking on stairs that are chalk.

3. I created this image by drawing fake stairs and lining up Tabs with the stairs while i took the photo from above.

4. The hard part about creating this image was positioning her feet correctly which we ended up getting after awhile.

5. The depth of field helped in this image as it helped us portray Tabs climbing the stairs when she wasn't.

1. My image is off Tabs blowing dandelions.

2. This image uses forced perspective as it shows Tabs blowing some chalk dandelions that don't exist.

3. We created this image by drawing dandelions and having Tabs on the side blowing them away.

4. There was not anything hard at all attempting this image.

5. The line of sight helps as it shows how Tabs is blowing the Dandelions from the side because if we positioned our camera in front of her face it wouldn't come out the same.

1. My image is of Erick getting flown away by a balloon, by his foot.

2. It uses forced perspective as it shows Erick getting drug away by a big chalk balloon.

3. We created this image by drawing a big balloon and positioning Ericks foot to bottom of string while taking photo from above.

4. The hardest part about this image was placing Ericks foot at the bottom of the string.

5. Depth of field helped as it showed how the balloon was huge and Erick getting flown away by it.

1. My image is of Erick running across a ledge, a very tiny ledge.

2. This image uses forced perspective as it really isn't him on a tiny ledge running across it, instead is him on the stairs.

3. We created this image by adjusting the camera downwards and moving Ericks body to match that of the floors and make him look like he's running across it.

4. There really was not anything hard to this photo only positioning.

5. The line of sight helps a lot as it shows us how Erick is along an edge when he isn't.
