JadaW Photography L3

This is a decisive moment image by Henri Cartier- Bresson, I would describe this image as bleak and dim as there is no colour and is taken with a monotone effect. This picture is enticing as there is no picture after this and no one, but the photographer and the subject, know what happened after.     What is the surface like?    In this picture the surface is reflecting the man and his        surroundings, the surface is also unpredictable because as viewers  we have no idea how deep or shallow the water is or how cold the    temperature is.  How does the work make you feel? His work makes me curious to know what happens next and frustrated that i never will. The work also makes me feel peaceful as the water is so still and undisturbed.  Does the colour, texture, form or theme of the work affect your mood? Yes as there is not much colour at all you feel as if the weather is cold and gloomy which could mean he was using pathetic fallacy.

Multiplicity The aim of this exercise was to have one picture with the same person occurring in the same picture. Before we started we were told to be careful as if the lighting dramatically it would show up along with making sure the background didn't change so I had to be careful with cars in the background.  I started out by taking four digital pictures of my classmate posing in different positions each time. Once I did that I used photoshop to edit them making them all the same for example the exposure as some were darker than others. On photoshop i also stacked the pictures and created a mask layer for each one, this allowed me to use the erase tool and remove one of the Alex's and by pressing 'command I' it  removed everything on that layer besides what i rubbed out, that left two Alex's i then continued doing this for each one until all the photos of him were on one picture.  

How I stared by standing at the end of a corridor and each picture i took i moved a little backwards, i used the carpet tiles to measure how far i was to move, along with the two girls which i made one take 3 steps every time and the other stand in at 4 different spots to form a square around her. once i got all the pictures i opened it up on photoshop using photo merge wich allowed me to edit any gaps out and speed up or slow down the speed. How Many over all i took 18 pictures to form this.
