Texture
"How textures are used to m
ask and reveal a subject matter"
Techniques
Double Exposure
Print screen of the Photoshop drop down bars.Add detail about what sections of the drop down I use and how they are then going to effect the photos. Highlight how you did it and make it clear (POINTS)
Black and White Camera Setting
Colour Pop Setting
Brush Tool Selection
3D Textural layering
Black and White Image wheel
Use the color wheel to justify why the photos have been changed into so that it suits what the theme is.
Slow shutter speed
Fast shutter speed
Low Key camera setting
Artist Studies:
Lee Jeffries
Initial Artist. Looking at simple dark black and white photos taken on film. Particularly looking at the ways in which dark lines around the eyes and mouth can effect the focus point of the image and could in some cases deter the eye.
Response completed by taken several photo's of Grandma and Grandad specifically making the depth of the photo to surround the lens so that the frame is full.
Rehahn
'The Sea Gypsies'
Using the masks that the tribes use to protect their faces from the sun and damage. This is revealing a texture that has been made but masking the identity . Because the tribe uses this sunscreen so often it is like this is their new face and textures.
Use a clay mask or create a white textured mask so that I can cover a face and create my own mask. here we are masking the identity of the tribe and the face of the model. Take photos on black and white setting on the camera.
'Into the land of Indigo'
Looking at the colour and the permanent mark that the dyes leave on the hand. The dyes being used as a reflection to that of revealing a new texture. The ink being made o reveal the lines in the hand as well as the pigmentation of the ink.
Complete a series of photos focusing on the hands especially elderly hands showing that they are frail and that they need to be looked after. Use a series of different food dyes or ink colorings to show a similar effect as those photos of Rehahn. Use a white background to create clean and crisp photos.
Marcel Mangel
Being used as a reference to the photos that Rehahn has taken in that he paints his face to disguise who he is but he reveals a new character or person instead.
Sharon Townshed
Use Sharon Townshed as a comparison artist rather than photographer. Look at her birch wall pieces that look at texture and flaking. Like those images of the face with the mask
Photos taken as a response are those of bark and dry cracked ground. Take photos in black and white and enhance the white if possible
Harry Callahan
Double exposure and scratched marked photos in film. Make the subject matter unknown and the new revealing texture overlap
Harry Callahan used as a comparison artist to the double exposure. The cracked mark of the floor is what relates the two photos together.
Andreas Poupoutsis (Colour theory)
Andreas Poupoutsis (Hidden Identities)
Take a series of photos with hair wrapped around the face. Increase the size of the photos so that they are larger. Black and white photos
Could possibly make a link to the current situation that use masks that are covering some of the face so that there is a literal meaning as well as an extension from what I have already taken.
Francesca Woodman
Images of movement and background texture. The focus on the background is the important part. Some images have movement throughout the texture so that the texture and the movement deter the eye
Hans Bellmer
Used as a reference to those photos of Francesca Woodman
MAN RAY
Mikael Schulz
Using a background rather than texture in the foreground to create a different and more diverse look. use the garden and high grass to create this texture.
First set of coloured photos
Alica Broadwicz
Explore how textures can look like human body parts and what the link is there. Not really looking at whether or not texture masks or reveals a subject matter but looking at the similarities.
Get photos from places on walks and in gardens as well as taking images of people when I see a comparison.
Exhibitions
Graduate Fashion Week
Slow shutter speed images. Relates to those of Harry Callahan and Francesca Woodman
National Portrait Gallery
Looks very similar to those of Andreas Poupoutsis color theory series. The background use of color and texture behind the subject matter is similar but the opposite of what he has done.
pHmuseum
‘Falling’ byArgentinian photographer Gustavo Sagorsky’s
PINTREST
Movement
Movement with delicate figures
Hidden Identities
From this looking at the way in which different shoot locations could effect the main point of the texture. Will a bathroom draw attention away from the texture of the hair and silk? Is a black and white backdrop better than a different more textured location?
