 Experimental photography Is using non-traditional techniques In photography. It includes digital editing, using a darkroom with alternatives, using your camera settings differently or making collages. Alternative process means and refers to any non-traditional or non-commercial photographic printing process. A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture. It Is a light-proof box with a small hole on one side. Light passes through and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, Well known as the camera obscura effect. Alan Thoburn is a well-known photographer who uses a pinhole camera. I like how creative the style is, Especially the photos in black and white. The image of a pinhole Camera may be projected onto a translucent screen for real-time viewing, But it is more often used with photographic film or photographic paper. A common use of a Pinhole camera Is to capture the motion of the sun over a long period of time. This type of Phot...

This is how my photos from the practical turned out. I picked out my favourite shots to show on this post, I'm going to make another for all my shots. It was a good choice. The only other editing i did was changing the shadows, midtones and highlights so they were balanced evenely. The task was to create images by using a projector and a choice of picture for the overlay. I used a Canon DSLR camera for this shoot. I was going to use a tripod, but i needed more freedom with the camera, I didn't use one in the end. Because we were in the dark, I had to switch my camera to manual mode. I then boosted the In camera ISO for extra exposure in the images. While editing the photos, I did two batches, I made one in colour and the other in black and white. I decided to go with the black and white because i thought the colours were too distracting in the original.    It was a good choice. The only other editing i did was changing the shadows, midtones and highlights so they were balanced...

  I started this piece by taking some shots of myself with my DSLR and importing them to my laptop. I browsed through them and marked which ones were the best, I picked the one above in the end. Threw it into Photoshop, masked myself out of the original background and added a peach gradient as the background. I then scrolled through google looking for an image of space, I thought the purple and red would contrast well. I placed the space image and used the clipping mask to overlay it only on me. After this step, I applied the Overlay blending mode. Then I duplicated the space Image and moved it over the whole image. I then applied the Overlay blending mode to this layer and masked out where it was covering me, because it was too harshly overlayed. Overall, I'm happy with how it came out. I think i could have done some better colour matching and blending at the end.

 I began by using my DSLR and a tripod to shoot a video of myself doing different poses that I had planned. I imported the video to my phone and took pictures of the poses I liked.  I sent the photos to my laptop and opened Photoshop. I first made the landscape I wanted by using images I found online. It meant I had an original I could go back to if there were any mistakes.   I then opened up the first image of me, masked myself out and dropped myself in the landscape image. I did the same steps here for each image. Now I had all my images for the sequence, I could start adding details, such as the moon, shadows, light, trees, and the Ladder.  After I had blended the images and details to make it more realistic, I added the light. I used a soft brush and gently added it in and painted in the shadows.  Next thing I did was cropping the images. I wanted to have certain crops to draw the eye to the subject more. So I changed some into a 16:9 Ratio. It made them loo...

  I have used multiple objects in my final project that are also used in the inspiration. I used Photoshop to manipulate the original image and create a sequence with the sun and moon. They have used a long exposure on their DSLR with a tripod to provide a bright and stable image. They also edited the images to make it even brighter and sharper as there will have been lots of noise in camera.
