Lockdown Obsession
Luke Stephenson
One morning while eating a bowl of cornflakes I noticed that every cornflake within my bowl was unique some what like a snow flake. I decided to photograph every cornflake within a 500g box to show off their individuality and also answer a nagging question in my mind “ how many cornflakes are in a box of cornflakes?
These are the photos we took in class today
This is my Second Response, i have made a Gif of a biscuit eating another biscuit.
WWW: that i was able to hold the camera steady in the first response
EBI: if i was able to focus the camera
EBI: if i was able to focus the camera

André Kertész
André Kertész, born Andor Kertész, was a Hungarian-born photographer known for his groundbreaking contributions to photographic composition and the photo essay. In the early years of his career, his then-unorthodox camera angles and style prevented his work from gaining wider recognition
This is my First response that i responded in school.
There is a strong use of shadows here i would try next time to take from different angles
Second Response
Today we did the same thing but with colours . here is some of my work.

i Used The levels tool to Darken the background of the image
I turned down the brightness from levels i changed the hue and out around +25 saturation, this made it look more like a sunset photo and it also made it so the Viewers Attention would be more on the sunlight instead of the surroundings
The Geometric Portrait
Gordon Magnin
Gordon Magnin is an LA based artist who uses fashion images and turns them into a unique collage of "altered found images" with his use of geometric patterns. His background consists of a Masters degree from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, a bachelors of science in structural engineering from the University of Nevada, meaning that his skill is entirely self taught and his experience is fewer than other artist who have manipulated images for a longer length of time to get to this level of skill.
He describes his work as "precise, intricate, geometric and destruction". His alteration of single images using precise geometric cuts and operations completely re structure the form of the original photos, and due to the majority of his photographs being portraits, the repositioning of geometric shapes cause deceptions at first sight as the eye is not used to features of the face being in strange places, which is what makes his work so unique and individual. His use of black and white colouring accentuates the features of the face even further due to the quality and use of shadow in his photographs.
His aim of work is to break down the expectations of perfect looking models and to challenge the industry's perception of beauty (he says "he tends to make the beautiful ugly") who said that his work was too extreme for them. He uses similar digital manipulation of images with exactly the same concept as when models would be altered to look unrealistically fake in campaigns and advertisements etc but I believe exaggerates that to mock the industry.

The Task: Look at the presentation of Gordin Magnin's work and, using a photograph taken in the studio, following the steps guide to creat your own portrait inspired by his work.
My Response
Here is a GIF i also made (VIA photoshop)
WWW: i was able to photoshop more than one image and also make a GIF
EBI: if there was more than one Studio Light the picture would be more clear, Need to make lighting better next time.

Almar haser - Cosmic Surger
Lightbulb - Alma Haser from Stephenson& on Vimeo. |
Cosmic surgery is imagined as a medical procedure that people can choose in the not so distant future for aesthetic enhancement, mood alteration, and to thwart increasingly pervasive methods of surveillance. Combining photography with collage and origami, Haser's playfully odd portraits consider the link between identity and image in a culture of visual bombardment. She suggests a fundamental shift in the way we understand ourselves and the world around us, picturing the possibility of a trans-humanist future.
"Experimentation has shaped my identity as an artist. I’m always thinking about different sculptural approaches to photography and how I can build layers into the work. I never know exactly how I’m going to produce the work until I’ve spent hours experimenting. Most of the time it’s a happy accident that shapes the final piece." |
Fragmented Building
Patrick Cornillet
Cornillet is a painter, not a photographer.In this series, he has painted architectural elements isolated from their environment and reconstituted in the form of objects on a white background. The concrete makes us aware of the material and of the remains left by the humans and of time passing by.Even if the architectures seem austere, spaces seeming uninhabited, dehumanised, Cornillet creates a particular poetry and a mesmerising mysticism
The photographs above are the ones i have took inside of school and that are still original.
I will now be photoshopping to make it seem like it is floating above in the sky, by adding a sky background or by making the background white.

Independent Development
Malick Kebe
Kebe has a strong understanding of shape, colour and concept, telling evocative stories with minimal subjects and small production. He takes his photos on an i-phone and uses Photoshop, Lightroom, VSCO and Snapseed to edit
These are the Photographs i've taken inside school.
Gabriel Garcia Roman
The subjects in the series are drawn from many aspects of the gender and queer spectrum, elevating an image of a population that’s generally under-represented in the art world. The series references the portraiture styles of Renaissance, Flemish and Christian Orthodox paintings, while illuminating contemporary figures, which are multi-dimensional, powerful, and proud.
These are the Photographs i've taken inside school.
These are the Photoshopped versions.
These are the 3 steps i took to put the text behind the picture, i put the second picture as layer 1 and the first picture as layer 2 then i erased the text covering the picture.
I made a gif, that changes the background ever frame, i also have made it so the circle around his head is colour coordinated using the colour wheel.
