Final Series

This series was much different than what I usually take photographs of. I love taking pictures of people, portraits, and very clear subjects but I decided to take a risk and try the abstract look. These six stood out against my other drafts of OP art because of the bold colors and patterns. I started this series creating complete abstraction using different surfaces and colors until I discovered a way of overlapping the original photograph into the background of the the abstract patterns, creating more depth. This was a fun series to experiment with and it was interesting to try a new kind of technique.

Grids

Our assignment was to make a grid of four photographs to make one that was easy for the eye to follow. We were given six categories to help us create pictures: abstract, people, close up, large scale, patterns, and minimalism. We experimented with angles and cropping and colors in order to create a grid pleasing to the viewers eye.
