Man Ray : Photographer

So upon my research in to famous photography, I could only find a select few that really struck my eyes. One of which is an American visual artist named Man Ray or Emmanuel Radnitzky

As a visual artist he created photography pieces that looked quiet like paintings themselves. What intrigued me the most was the resemblance of some of his work to the surrealists artist, Salvador Dali. An artist that is also one of my favorites. These men show an art that sort of disturbs the ideal of reality and in turn give a new look to their art. Below is some of Man Ray’s work as a photographer..

Noire et Blanche

Long Hair

Solarisation

Observatory Time: The Lovers

Dora Maar

Glass Tears

Tristan Tzara

As you can see, his photography is black and white. He uses double exposure as well as many other techniques to give each piece a different mood as well as cool tone and sepia filters. I particularly like “Dora Maar” and “Long Hair” for the haunted feel that is portrayed to the viewers.

None the less, Man Ray is quite the photographer and in such he has inspired many pieces that are equally as interesting.

Hello! My name is Kylie Carroll, and I am a Newly declared art major. I do many different arts and consider myself a jack of all trades. I have a fur baby named Theo. I enjoy my screen time as well as writing.

I will, however, include a disclaimer that the novel is not for the weak for there is a trigger warning. Either way, I hope you enjoy my content and I look forward to working with you in this semester.

Assignment 4: Special Edits.

With this first photo, I took a prism and placed it in front of the lens, creating a reflection effect. With this photo, I placed a pink camera lens filter on, then used my hand to create shadows on her face. In this photo, I took my phone and used it as a mirror to reflect her face. This photo is a triple exposure that we learned in class, I do wish I could have made it more clear, however Madison could not stay still enough. Here we took the light and used light writing to create a figure toughing Madison's hand This photo was used as light writing. we kept it vertical to balance the wide angle. With this photo we tried normal light writing, as you can see it did not turn out. This last photo turned out to be my favorite. It started out as normal light writing to give Madison a halo. However we forgot to add a flash of light in the end and I think it turned out better than it would have if I had remembered. In the end, I ended up doing very little...

Assignment 2: 3D

For my Assignment I've decided to upload these photos below as it shows my experience through learning 3D editing. This first photo is probably my least favorite. i love the colors in my suncatchers but because of the background the do not stand out as much as i would like. This next photo is one of my favorites. The clock in the background creates a double image, which does not bode well for the 3D effect. However, i believe it creates and interesting image that really caught my eye. I am undecided on this particular image. while the effect is there, I do not see this as a particularly interesting image to look at. This last photo in my favorite. The image was not very colorful to begin with, but desaturating it makes it stand out so much more.
