Light Painting

I love how these light painting came out. I created this by taping a flashlight to some string then attaching the string to the ceiling, then had my camera directly under the light and has the exposure open as I swung the light to create these beautiful light trails. The first image is of a long exposure of a screen monitor. I like the effect it gives almost as if its on a space ship to s distant planet.

Paint in Water Part 2

I revisited this project again and I am happy with how these came out. There are still things I can improve on and I will try and make some changes with how I set this up next time. I do like how the blue and yellow mixed in the water to create that beautiful green coming off to the side. The pink and blue image almost reminds me of a mushroom cloud from a volcano erupting. I wish to continue this project and see what other results I can achieve.

Painted Portrait

Although I'm not the biggest fan of portraits I would like to get into photographing people more. Its just hard to find people willing to get in front of the camera. I do however like the way this image came together even  though this assignment was kinda rushed to the last minute I still think it came out good. I love the dark edge on the left side and I think the pink light compliments well with white skin tone. I wish to do a series of portraits with lights in a similar way to this but maybe more with actually drawing into the exposure or painting someone in. Hopefully I'll be able to find people willing to help me out.

Alberto Seveso "Trivial Expose"

here  In searching for more ink photography ideas I came across this photographer, Albert Seveso. he did this project titles "Trivial Expose". this involved him first taking the images of the ink and then taking images of the models and combining the two together. I love this type of abstract photography and is something I personally enjoy doing. I would really enjoy recreating something like this in the near future. The rest of the images from this project along with his other work can be found here

Paint In Water

I had went back and retried this project with different lighting outside and I am happy with the results. I want to experiment with different mediums of either paint or ink whatever I can find. I love how the purple and white image almost looks like the top of a mushroom cloud from an erupting volcano. I love how the blue and pink fold into each other but you can still see the separation of colors. The pink and orange are almost like mirrors of each other I was able to time it right so that both colors hit the surface of the water at the same time. Resulting in similar patters in how they expanded once in the water which compliment well with each other and against the grey background. I wish to continue with this project and further it more with different ideas.

Frozen Bubble

                                                          (Disclaimer: old photo)
Even though this photo is from back in high school Its still one of my favorites. With the cold weather approaching very soon here I wish to go and try and recreate an image like this again. Its a bubble that's resting on top of a small granite table outside when it was below freezing temperature. If you blow bubbles when it is below the freezing point you can actually see the bubble freezing over ( like in the bottom and top of the bubble). It took many tries to get this one picture, who knew how hard it was to blow bubbles in the freezing cold winter. Then in photo shop I had the image of the trees as the sun was setting and I overlapped the two images together and smoothed out the edges to make the scene fit in the bubble I love the bright warm colors in the sky compared to the silhouettes of the tress and I think that scene overall fits well with the bubble, and the reflection of my white gate on the bubble gives it some perspective and texture. Overall I don't like winter but it can help create some amazing images, looking forward to what this season brings.
