Portraits

This photo is based on a short story called "The Yellow Wallpaper". The story is about a woman who is supposedly insane and isolated in a room with awful yellow wallpaper that haunts her and pushes her farthing into insanity. I modified this photo with different blur tools changing the opacity's on to layer them on each other. This created an uncertainty along this rough edge that draws your eye across the photo. It is upsetting that there is not a crisp edge along the yellow, but that's because there isn't a crisp edge in insanity. Was the woman in this short story insane before the wallpaper? Or did the wallpaper make her insane?

Color Domination

This brown shows rustic and old, it creates a peaceful emotion. I changed the contrast to create harsher lines to move your eye across the piece.

Calm Comfortable Blue. Different shades of blue takes over the rest of the colors in this photo. Also the subject is in a very relaxed state farthing the emotion of calm and comfortable.

This redish orange slide shows excitement. Hopefully this creates an emotion that connects to childhood memories and enjoyment.

Attractive Repulsive

This was my first idea for attractive repulsive. I started by placing bills a picture and a tie on a desk. I used a lamp to light my area creating the feeling of a home office. Then I set my camera on a tripod and focused the frame where I wanted it. Then I put on my suite and used a timer on the camera. This is my favorite picture and I think it shows the perfect attraction of money and being a successful business man, but the repulsion of depression and despair.

Attractive Repulsive

This is another repulsive attractive picture because I personally love dried dead flowers over live flowers. I placed a flower that has been drying for awhile over a aqua background. I tried manually focusing on many different parts this was the only one that turned out.

Attractive Repulsive

Here is an attractive repulsive shot I set up and took. It is my views on beautiful woman using plastic surgery to "self better" their bodies. I am not belittling either model (they were randomly selected). All together i hate how this piece worked out and I wish I would have used a real model.

Attractive Repulsive

This picture shows Repulsive Attraction because many people hate snakes, however I love them. The subject in this picture is Sampsin (sin) and he/she is a year old ball python. I set up a black background and placed the clock however my snake would not hold still. The only picture in focus was with his head cut out. I think all together this piece works because it is unified by a orange tone.
