Digital Photos
This next page contains some of my digital photography pieces. This was a project I did for my photography class. I created these with the use of a digital camera and Photoshop. I had to take pictures of anything I wanted and then multiply them in various sizes to create a unique composition. The main objective was to make an interesting composition with the photos I had taken.
My first piece, Flowers of Anxiety, was made with just a picture of my face. I took a selfie of myself and then used Photoshop to erase everything in the photo except for my face. Then, I multiplied my face and rearranged the copied pictures into the shape of a flower. The goal was to create an unsettling and uncomfortable tone. I chose the concept of the flower to exemplify the idea of anxiety growing uncontrollably.
This also served as a template for my next two pieces. I followed the same process I did for my Flowers of Anxiety design, taking pictures of a battery, a phone charger, a medicine ball, and a dumbbell and cleaning them up in Photoshop. This time, however, I paired two objects and placed them randomly across the page. I wanted to make sure the two items are related to each other. For example, the battery and charger conduct electricity to a technological device.
My other two projects also follow the same format. One has dumbbell weights and a medicine ball while the other has a boxing glove and a running sneaker. Both of them revolve around the idea of doing intense exercises. The project was completed in November 2019.
