Artist Research – Alex Lucka.

I choose these images as they drew me in with their flawless posses also the idea of the women being covered yet revealing makes a sense of mysteriousness.

This photograph truly intrigued me as it looks like a projection as been used onto her chest and I have been learning to do this at college and it is a skill I really enjoy.

This image is very elegant because of the pale colours used to set a nice calm vibe and as for the texture on her chest looks like the reflection from an ocean, sea or water.

The red on her lips stands out the most because of all the fair colours around her, red is also the colour for danger but in a women's case its red lipstick this could signify power.

Also the colours that are shown on her skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour all blend in with the natural coloured background this could be classes as camouflaged.

My Extra Ordinary Photography

Here I got a friend of mine to have a leopard print pattern onto her face I chose to take this photo in colour as it shows the bright colour of her skin and natural colour of her eye. I used negative space because I thought her best feature was her eye.

I put this on in black and white to get the detail of the eye, also put the flash on which helped get all detail in one photo.

Also used negative space to concentrate on the eye.

My idea to wrap the hair around the face was to make the face more interesting also with the animal print emerging down the face.

I used the camera angle so it would focus on the eye as it was the models best feature.

The hair being wrapped all over the face bases a feeling of being trapped or not being able to escape that’s what I feel this image represents.

Also putting them in black and white give the photograph a sense of darkness.

Light Box.

Evaluation.

My intention when taking this photograph was to capture the eye in full volume when placed on the face also revealing the two eyes on the face.

This image really reminds me of being posed also the colour being in black and white gives the photographs more darkness.

I took this image up close to get the boarder lines out of the way so it didn't’t look untidy.

The photographs I took were both in focus as I needed the lines and curves of the images to be perfect so when I placed them onto each other you could see them both properly.

If I was to reshoot my photograph I would have tried some different techniques like using negative space or camera position.

I think the strong patterns on the image is the outline of the eye also the eyelashes, because there black they stand out more onto the pale bits of the image.
