Here are images I had found on 'google' I found these ones different they are all in different positions and are really artistic they way they have taken all of these photos maybe have a story behind all of the them. and relate to something, for the reflection woodman had used mirror's and materials. and smashed glass. I find these weird and attractive. and exciting to see the photographer maybe used different contrast of the camera and the shade of it. there is women and men in the photos which includes crawling and standing up. you can also see people's reflections and their facial expression and blurry face so you can't see their identity.
divergent,I like this one out of all of them because the same person or a girl is behind the mirror not showing her face and she is wearing the same dress in the mirror. And the reflection is a girl that looks sad and looks cold in that dress which she is outside and looks like she is upset and not happy. I like the way francesa has made this and I think this is very artistic and creative because the shade of the mirror and the person with dark hair in the reflection. the mirror is very fancy, it would show people that it is an old picture and maybe to make people know that the photo was taken last year but made it to look like it was made in the 90's. Woodman makes really old and dark pictures. the mirror has loads of details around the mirror. the first thing i saw its different, dissimilar , divergent , rare.

Reflections on Pinterest
I have got these photos from google all this photos above are by artist but I dont' know what the artist name is. I chosen these because they all have different emotions behind the photo. I chosen the one that looks the best out of any photos i saw, most of these in there picture is black and grey to make it look old and sad. And there is also ballerinas' in the picture as well. And young girls who enjoy photography and are in photos like these always have their hair up and never hardly smile in the photos. There always using different stuff during the experiment and their is smashed glass , clouds, mud, rain. There is really creative one's.
Mirror photo shoot #1
Reflections experiment in Photoshop
Here I have shown of how I used this in photoshop I had help by my teacher and he shown me how to screenshot and flip the photos from left to right. I was surprised of the way I saw it came out because it's amazing what photoshop can do. in the photo as you can see it is black and grey before it was black and grey it was a bright colour I used from the camera. I took 54 pictures around the school outside of different ones like tree's grass. different reflection of the tree in a different position I mostly like this one because it looks really tall and can't really tell it was taken at school. I found it really good experience using the camera because it was really easy to use and it was the first time using the camera around the school and the camera had really good quality. The way the picture looks black and grey looks old because it has really dark shades inside it , different patterns first thing that would come up in to people minds when they see this is ? what is it? ... what I would say is I took this picture outside on the basket ball pitch and took a picture of a tree. Steps what I have done was I went outside to take pictures with my camera that I borrowed from the school and also I went outside where something is crowded and full of grass and leafs, etc. I went to take pictures of what I think looks interesting and I lay the mirror next to it which you cannot see my mirror of where I laid it and it reflects against a tree or grass or anything that is rock solid and can hold against it's weight. I think refection is very creative and its really good of the way it turned out to be.

I have done this to create a better effect I have chosen a different one to show an affect on it and make it look better. I had help by mr Nicholls of how to do it because i don't actually know how to. My teacher helped me what to do for me to remember. I opened Photoshop to create another piece of my exam work. I enjoyed working and doing reflections. Mostly out of the whole process I used 'photoshop'. Photoshop you can do many things on their that you can think of. At first I didn't even know how to use anything on photoshop and I still need to get used to it and how to use it. The picture has been flipped and rotated in many different directions and left and right, and has also been flattened. As you look at it does look like there is colour in the photos but on photoshop I made it black and white. I took this photos on the link outside the building of the school and layed the mirror on the floor of the link that I was going on the second floor on the link and I decided to see if I could see a reflection anywhere but I saw a reflection of the school and their was a pole in the middle of the mirror reflection. I actually like the look of the whole thing and the reflection due to I took it, I wouldn't really think it would turn out as good as this. I used a Professional camera to take this.
This photo I took was really random. I was hoping to create any photo of what it would turn out to look like. I took any photo when I was walking around the school. These are my best photos of the whole photos I took because of how it looked but when I first took it I didn't really like it but also what I also like about it is the mirror is randomly in the middle and you cant see no light things or grass around the mirror and the reflection is really good of how it turned out to be. I think this is the best picture I have taken so far out of all of them. The natural colour is dark and bright. This wouldn't reflect on any of the artist that I have seen on the internet. in the photos that I have researched and have seen there pictures on the web they have loads of different facial expressions and which includes women and men half naked in their photos and most of them look sad, have smashed mirror in their photos. I found it boring at first when I chosen photography and using the camera but it was the first time using it. I didn't relate any of my pictures to any of the artist. I weren't really hoping of thought of any idea's of what I want to do . I just came up with this as I went along basically . |
