Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworty had already been one of my favorite artists before watching the movie. I think his work is very inspiring. I had already known that he related his work with life. It was helpful for him to explain that while working he is connecting with each material of nature he uses; it gave me a better understanding of him as a artist. It also shows how passionate he is about his work. I envy his patience when creating his art work. He says how each work grows, stays, and decays...like life. His photographs cature his work in a living sense.

Nadav Kander


I cropped the picture and used a cool photo filter to create the blue effect. I changed the brightness and contrast as well. My photo compared to Nadav Kander, is too blue. I should of tone down the blue. QUESTION: What could I have done to make this pictue better?





For this photo, I wasn't exactly trying to completely recreate the same photo as Nadav. I changed the photo to black and white then changed the brightness and contrast. I also posterized to photo to give the photo a different texture.




William Eggleston


William Eggleston takes photos of everyday life. I was talking to the model in the photo to recreate that concept. I wanted to capture our moment of talking with eachother so the photo wouldn't look stuctured. I cropped the photo and changed the brightness and contrast. Did I convey a non-stuctured photo?





Although my photo doesn't look like the William's photo below but it still has that concept of everday life. I was trying to capture to concept of work. Behind the man, a co-worker is helping a costumer. I cropped the photo and adjusted the color. Is the photo too busy?

I used the magnetic lasso tool to move the boy into the picture of the ocean. I used the eyedropper and the brush tool to erase the writing on the boy and background. I purposely used a black and white backround and color for the boy to make the boy the focal point. I had no real message to convey so I didn't use a title. Does the contrast of the boy and background show?

fishy-fishy

My photo represents the saying "save some water for the fish". My intentions for the photo has no real message. Using the magnetic lasso tool on photoshop, I moved the fish into the picture with the glass of water. I used the clone stamp tool and lowered the opacity to create the bubble effect of the water over the fish. What could I do to make this photo better?
