Susan Derges photogram

Image
Susan Derges  Derges was born in London in 1955, and is an English photographer. She studied painting at the Chelsea Collage of Art and Design  for 3 years, she then went on to studied at the Slade School of Art  for another 2 years. She then turned to photography where she explored different cameraless techniques,  such as imprinting images directly onto photographic paper using either natural or artificial light. Techniques she has continued to concentrate on and develop to this day. For 4 years she lived and worked in Japan, where she received a Rotary Foundation Award. She then continued to  carry out postgraduate research at Tsukuba University .   As Derges trained in painting, she had always expressed an interest in abstract art  because "it offered the promise of being able to speak of the invisible rather than to record the visible"[1].  She chose to focus on cameraless photography after experien...

multiplicity

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.

Tuesday Lesson 1 Darkroom

Image
Today we went into the darkroom to make photograms and produce pinhole photographs. We started by using photographic paper with everyday objects placed on top. The paper was then place on an enlarger which exposed the paper to light causing the objects on top to imprint as light cannot travel through them, and once developed leaving the different shapes white whilst turning the surroundings black. The pinhole photographs were created by placing photographic paper into a shoe box tightly sealed to prevent any light getting in. The box had a pin sized hole on the lid of the box covered with a removable flap that when opened would expose the paper to light imprinting whatever is surrounding the box at the time. Depending on how long the light is exposed will affect how the picture will come out, if the paper is over exposed the photo will be too dark, however if the picture is under exposed it will develop to faint. Materials -      Photographic paper, enlarger, dif...
