Series 2 plan

I will be using CS5 blur effects to emphasize and censor parts of the photos that I take pictures. I'm going to try and emulate the style of photography I did in the previous series, using creative usage of censoring of sections of photos to change their feeling. Blurring particular parts of a photo is near impossible without focusing on an object that is moving at a considerable speed. Using editing I will get pictures that have an effect that is impossible to get using non-edited techniques.

Custom Series

 What does censorship really do in photography? Does it block out something that that observer wants to know, or does it make the observer all the more aware of everything that goes on in the picture? I bet the observer wouldn't have noticed the fire alarm in the top left corner or the figures in the window on the right.

  Our vision is obscured as a monster looms overs, yet do we really know what is under the box?

A good way to identify an object is by its size, but when it is so ordinary can you recall its scale.

 Your eyes are drawn straight up the path to an unknown making it hard for the leading lines to fray into the rest of the picture.

 

You wouldn't think that one thing makes so much difference, but it defines this sidewalk.

 

When you censor, what you were trying to block only changes form.

  

Although you can see what is trying to be blocked, you do lose a sense of what it is.

You can see the censored object clearly, how much more pretty is it when you can see?

 

You see what they want.

 

Paranoid.

Plans for Custom Series -UPDATED

1. Look for pictures that would look good with cartoon like shading. Look to use blurs. The attributes of this picture it would be very hard to replicate its effects, with objects other than moving cars.
2. Negative space blocks. Through finding large blocks of color or through editing. Will be using a black box much like those of censors to create a mysterious or sometimes outrageous censoring.
3. Neon colors, look for bright colors on dull backgrounds, or use editing techniques to enhance interesting pictures.

Negative Space

 The sky acts as negative space, making the picture seem much more happy with its bright colors as opposed to the gray tone you might usually see.

 This picture's negative space helps to add a lot of depth to the picture, if you look at the leaves you have areas that have much denser amount of leaves. This gives the picture a more

 The blue paint splatter serves as a subject for something that is flying or swimming as the little paint trail makes it seems like it is suspended.

 Color of the negative space, is a real illusion to what time of day this picture was taken. The slow shutter speed makes it seem like this was taken in the evening as opposed to the middle of the day.

 The negative space emphasizes the contrails greatly, through the contrasting colors.

 The green vs the blue makes the people in the picture seem more vivid than they already are.

The sky really gives you a sense of scale for the city
