Paszkiewicz-place

 The landscape photo shot by Dave Fokos, who mainly does black and white photography. Fokos evokes a erie, kinda creepy mood with the fog and the black and white filter and this is much like his other works as well. The compositional techniques used in this photo are rule of thirds with the three rocks, level horizon, and framing by having the big rock go off the page.

The innerscape photo is shot by Paul Raphaelson as a part of a project where he is taking photos in an abondond sugar refinery. You can almost feel the chaos that must be in a factory through the photo so that gives it an unsettling mood. The compositional techniques used are leading lines and interesting perspective.

The cityscape portrait is by World4photos on Flickr entitled “Bangkok State Tower Portrait Cityscape”. This account on Flickr has pictures of places all over the world inflicting different types of moods depending on the place. This picture to inflicts a feeling of hope and excitement with the bright city lights. The compositional techniques used are leading lines with the highways and river and level horizon.

 To make a wood transfer you first print out picture on a plain piece of paper, then dampen the wood, use studio medium in matte finish and coat the wood and the paper, press picture on the wood and smooth it out, let sit overnight, tear off the pieces you can get off, get the paper wet and keep rubbing until the pieces of paper come off, and finally make the wood look distressed and decorate how you wish.

My concept for this is to capture to feel of a city and the people in it; a feeling of happiness but at the same time stress and sadness. I plan to capture that mood with my lighting and composition. I plan to do a cityscape and the transfer it onto a piece of wood that is about a foot big.
