Strolling Through the City

So recently I went on a stroll with Mahkayla, Brianna and her new pup Huey. I did these while working on my other series of vortographs which is still in progress of being completed. Progress of being completed of course go along with my final grade, and not with my whole process of making vortographs. I do want to try out making a new style of optic for the vorotgraphs in the near future, but right now I need to stick with the formula I have now and carry on like a boss. Hopefully I will be able to have some pretty stellar finished optics by the time I am done with this vortograph series.

Since I am going to continue making the vortographs I figured I might as well draw up plans and get a finished final blueprint for them. I have a couple of ideas on how to draw them up since I took some engineering classes back in highschool but most of my plans look like a scribbles of a mad man. It is kind of entertaining to make them out. I don't want to post them online unfortunately but if everything goes well there is a possibility something might pop up for the first tool I used in the future.

Not that I am trying to hide how I make my images from my readers, I just would like to keep my test items a bit secluded. If everyone knows how to make them, then they won't be as magical and surreal. Sure the images look like they could be double, triple, or quad exposures but that is part of the fun.

Sensuality part 2

 The last post on September 13th was about Sensuality. This is the second post about the shoot because the third assignment in my class was a re-shoot on the images. I can't say that it is a good thing, or it wasn't an annoying thing because it was both annoying but helped me improve on a concept.
Conceptually I do believe I have improved a lot from the initial blog post and not only that but I also did two shoot for this one so I had a better idea of what I wanted for an end result. Two of the images I am using for my class but the others are just more examples
of what could have been prints.

Sensuality

Well my second assignment for PH100 is Sensuality. When I initially brainstormed what I could do for this I thought about my audience and how mentioning "Sensuality" and the word "Sensual"make most peoples minds, mine as well to something more sexual. Well I decided to play off that and the actual meaning with what goes a long with the senses. Sensual is something perceived by the senses  so a small amount of innuendo and the tastes and smells you get from the objects also pictured is somewhat of my small sensory overload. If budget wasn't an issue these would have more going on in them making the images themselves to also be visually overloaded but these are raw images, so no editing. The only alteration was the crop to square formatting.

On the subject of square formatting there will be a lot more of that coming from me in the near future. I really like putting everything in the square. It makes digital feel like more of a challege since my camera in RAW shoots 8x12's so cutting 4 inches off of an image might give me a new challenge.
