experimental photography task 1

Rity tascum 





In the image you can see that there is a car which is like a ghost car I will take a picture like this and edit it in photoshop and turn the photo ghostly. in the picture the time is near dawn and you can see the  pylon which looks shaded in the background and the car looks like it is floating the way how it is done is through photoshop you open the picture and make sure you have selected the car bit in the image you want to make ghostly and you make a copy of that image and then you move the copy until you see it and then you select the old image and delete and put the ghostly image on where the old image was and then on the right where you can see mini images of the image you are editing on the top you see opacity and hardness you have to adjust both because adjusting anyone of them can make it ghostly for tghis image you can see the results on the photo well this photo is not mine i know that but i needed a photo to give them an example of an image that i have to take for my experimental photography assignment          





as you can see that in this image the image has been distorted and i have used ZIG ZAG  and twirl on it to make it digitally manipulated and the reason why i choose this picture is that the manipulation suits it and it even looks a bit like a Lamborghini Gallardo to me but it is obvios that it is a ferrari 458 i needed a photo that could be eddited and needed to be digitally manipulated for my assignment. The picture that i choose is my favorite car to make this picture digitally manipulated i used photoshop i fixed the levels in it first because i could not see the picture properly so i fixed it which made it perfectly bright and then i used the twirl to the way you can use that is by going on filter on the top and an in the options of  the side bars you will find disort and then go all the way down you can choose this option or any other options if you want 





this photo is an experimental photo in the photo you can see car crashed on the lamp post and the picture has multiple colours on it which reminds me of blue rider this image stands out more one of the reason why i like this image is because it has diffrent colours in it and some of them have my favourite colours in it you can even  the way you can do this is by changing the colour level on it and turning it in to HDRI

in the photo you can see that the artist used an old effect on it from the movies of the 19 century he used two photos and put them together to make one side different and the other different. I like this image because of the effect it gives to the photo when it has been edited and the double photo as well one photo on one side and the other on the other side a double photo the thing that i hate about this photo is the way it has been taken i don't like the photo's that have an smudge effect on them on the photo you can see that on the photo there is another one the artist has cut a photo and put it on another one a piece of it. 


in this photo you can see that the face have been covered by a landscape of a jungle and the dirt is used to finish off the faces and the trees and grass to finish of the hair the thing that i like about this is the landscape of the photo that has been blended in the faces because in the landscape i like the dirt which has been used to finish off the faces the thing that i hate about the photo is the portrait of the photo i only like photos that are used on people who act like there photo is not being taken





in this photo you can see that there is a picture of a man and the picture of the girl is removed but you can see a burnt jungle instead of her i like this photo because of the effect and the photo the man is acting like his photo is not being taken in this photo there is an 19 century movie in it the thing that i don't like about this photo is that the photo used for the second picture a burnt jungle because when you open this photo the first thing that comes in your mind is a war zone, dead people

contextual influence


Conflict Photography

Conflict photography is like war photography there are different types of them they are in black and white and they are even in colour they are on wars such as the situation on the ground in Aleppo
The photographer was covering the situation in Aleppo since August. When he first arrived there, he was taken to the Hullok and Hananu districts – areas that were subject to heavy bombing. Since then, he was expecting what was going to happen there. It was scary. The people here are divided over the war: some support the revolutionists, some don't. A large number of the population are desperate, they want this war to end; at least in the area controlled by the rebel fighters, which is constantly under heavy shelling and suffers from a lack of supplies. Most of the areas controlled by the rebels are working-class neighbourhoods. There is no place for them to go. They continue with their daily lives as far as they can, leaving everything in the hands of Allah. They call themselves martyrs and are open to sacrifice themselves. The battle for Aleppo is being fought with the city in ruins. On the front lines there is not a single house or building that remains without damage. Everything looks destroyed, shelled or burnt. It seems as though the Syrian leaders would rather destroy the city than give it up to the rebels. The Alawite militia, known as the Shabihas, terrorise the population and the rebels catch anyone suspected of being a spy or Shabiha. The most brutal situation that I have witnessed has been the shelling of civilian neighbourhoods. It has been indiscriminate. The bombs and mortar artillery can land anywhere at any moment. It is too dangerous to dare to stand on the street for any length of time. once went to the hospital to photograph victims of the shelling. There was not enough space, so all the wounded and lifeless bodies were just lying on the floor. I felt dizzy when I saw one child lying on the floor, weeping, bleeding from his foot while holding a coin in his hand. He was injured while queuing for bread and a mortar hit the bakery. He was terrified. When his mother came to find him he opened his hand, giving back the coin and said, " Please mum, don't send me out for bread again, I don't want to go and buy bread anymore." I think the work I am producing here is strong. I lived and studied at a monastery in India before becoming a conflict photographer and everything I see now is through the eyes of Krishna. This is my personal belief. I am just an instrument in this situation.

Photography is it art


Photography is it art 

What is the difference between Photography and art.  
In my opinion why I think that photography is art and it is good and bad Is because people sell art for millions of pounds and they get profit from it and a lot of people sell pictures to get profit as well and I think that both of the things are similar to each other for example someone takes a picture because of the effect of the picture looks like that it is a painting and a lot of people have used that illusion on famous art people and people have fell for that illusion and pictures fall for the illusions like mixtures of the grass pond and sky there are different types of pictures of them and a lot of them are illusions of art and even for the some are a lot of the art are illusion into photography the thing I like about photography art is the illusion in it and the illusion colour that is used in the picture and the background that has been changed for the painting effect to make it ok like a painting and the things that I hate about photography art is that a lot of people try and sell it for money e.g. the material, the actual paint, and they use photography and make it look like art so they can sell it and they even use art and sell it making it look like photos a lot of people have sold photos that look like art for big money for millions and billions of pounds and a lot of painters these days are not able to sell their painting because a lot of photographers have used photos as paintings so that they can be famous artists and make their art and themselves famous
The reason why I like photography art is because some photography art has a meaning to it like the Mona Lisa when you look at that picture it looks like you are looking at a real person and a lot of people have changed the appearance of the photo and vandalised it and make fun of it, it makes me really mad and angry I try to tell them it is not right to make fun of the histories best art but they still do it my favourite painting is the Mona Lisa I like how he used colour in it and it is really realistic it looks like a photo that is what I like about the photo and the few things that I don’t like about the photo is that the photo is a portrait with one person in it and I like portraits with two people in it or a family portrait. Al lot of pictures are put on books for example harry potter the book has a lot of words but after some pages there is a picture with an action part written with it you even see pictures on money on pennies you see the picture of the queen and you can even see the picture of the queen on ten pound notes even on twenty pound notes and fifty pond notes pictures are everywhere you can see pictures on billboards on walls you can see pictures on trains as well a lot of people do painting competitions these days there are pictures that look like paintings too but people still do it. RIGA these times give us many opportunities in how to capture a moment. Some decide to take pictures using modern technologies; others, however, stick with a more traditional way which includes visual art. It seems that there is still a discussion whether photography and painting can have an equal sign. Based on it, the exhibition hall Arsenals offers a journey, called “The flights of the hybrids,” with boarding possible till Sept. 18. Yet, in 1839, when the process of photography was revealed, visual art obviously meets its main competitor. Fighting for the honour to be the primary reality pointer, discussions are alive to declare what is art, and what is not.
However, this exhibition is not created to name a winner. It works as the connector. The full title of the exhibition is “The flights of the hybrids. The artist as the photographer. The middle of the 19th century till 2010,” and it pays attention to the relations between photography and painting in the mind of an artist. Visual art has played its part in the development of photography, and that will be seen at the exhibition. People depend on reality. Arguably the fight to understand which one – photography or painting – gives us a more authentic view on reality is almost unnecessary, as they both differ only in technique. But today, when taking pictures is an ordinary activity for people, while painting is left for those who can really paint, the discussion about the ‘reality pointer’ turns out to be even more pertinent. Probably back then photography was not considered to be the danger to art as it seems now, when paintings hang at exhibition halls, but photo galleries travel around the globe with the help of the Internet. What are the hybrids of today’s art? What is today’s art? Are we able to detect if photography and painting are equally important reality platforms? Are the painter and photographer artists? Finally, where is the boundary in art, which separates photography and painting? We have many ways in how to capture a moment. Not all of them make you an artist, though. Hence, the exhibition covers many fields which demonstrate beauty and fantasy, reflection of the past, mosaics and photo collages and many more. Next to the pieces of the 19th and 20th centuries, today’s Latvian artworks are lined up so visitors would have a chance to enjoy the art of Latvian masters, such as Karlis Huns, Janis Rozentals and Gustavs Klucis, together with the new generation of Latvian art – Lilija Dinere, Sandra Krastina, Miervaldis Polis and Kristine Luize Avotina.
The exhibition also showcases postcards, glass plates and even invites one to participate in a photo shoot at the photo salon created at the hall.  
              
I think that art should not be used as photography and photography as art

the photo i took was in the studio which shows the marketing of the brand Nike the model has a good pose in the photo the models looks like he is selling the brand he knows what he is doing which you can see that the model is a professional and as you can see that the photo is a good one but the picture needed adjusting although we did not have enough time we just left like that. the thing that I think that is good in the picture is the models poster the way he standing is a models marketing pose which comes in a normal pose what i don't like about the photo is that you cannot see the shoes logo it is not clear. The thing i like about this image is the light exposure i like how the picture is clear and we can see the model clearly and the picture did not even needed levels from photo shop i was gonna turn the photo into a HD photo but i did not knew how to do it in the start of the course the thing that i hate about the photo is that the camera was not used properly and the the photo does not look like a professional photo if it was than it could have been a good photo  

The photo that i took was in the studio in this photo the model is marketing the denim clothes the model in this photo is trying to not look at the camera and act serious the model knows what she is doing and selling the brand well in this photo the model should be selling the brand like she is talking to someone but the thing is that no one had time that day so we carried on with what we had . the thing that i like about the photo is the models pose it is a professional pose but you cannot see the logo on the clothes the thing that i don't like about the picture is that you cannot see the logo in the photo the picture talks for itself you can tell that the photo has not got a lot of mistakes in it but besides that the photo is really good. I used photoshop to bring up the light a bit because the light was dim on it i used levels on photoshop to make the photos brightness come out a bit the thing i hate about the photo is the exposure light it is a bit low on it so i tried to change the exposure level by clicking exposure and turning it up by 2.0 exposure level but the picture was to much bright when i changed the  level by using the bar that comes up but the picture had mini bars in it so i had to keep it normal and you can see someone. 
The photo I took in the studio shows 2 models marketing each others shoes and clothes but they do not look professional in the modelling they are doing and the model on the left is looking down and other is looking straight in the camera what i would like to say about the picture is about the models they know what they are doing but need to show it as well they need to show it to the camera to let it know that they are marketing. the thing that i like about the photo is that they are trying their best to sell the products and the thing that i don't like about the photo is that the shoes logo are to small to see the thing i like about the photo is the way them both are standing in the photo they don't look like professional models but they have a good stance in it the thing that i hate in this photo is the exposure level in it it is not bright enough for a good photo
