Allyn-Place



The first image is a landscape, the second photo is a cityscape, and the third photo in an interiorscape. The mood that the photographer of the first photo was trying to portray is a peaceful, untouched place that you can sit and enjoy for a long time to escape from reality. The second photo is trying to portray how powerful humans can be, and the things that we can create. The third photo is trying to portray a place that you can sit for a while and enjoy yourself, alone or with friends. I could not find the actual photographers of any of these pieces of work, since most of them were either websites that showcased work and didn't give credit, or were hired to provide a photo for a website so they didn't get their name put in. The first photo uses level horizon, because the photo is of a landscape and isn't at an angle, leading lines, because of the rivers and hills, and fill the frame, because there is something happening in every part of the photo. The second photo also uses level horizon, because of the almost perfectly straight line in the distance, rule of thirds, because it is evenly divided, and point of view because you wouldn't normally be this high or in this location when you're in a place like that. The third photo uses framing, because of all the counters and lines around the border, leading lines, because of all the geometric lines and objects in the photos, and focal point, because the main subject is the bar.



In order to create prints on leaves you have to take a leaf, supply water to the stem, create a positive/negative photo, sandwich it an the leaf between two glass panes, wait between a few days to a week, and apply resin to the new photo on the leaf to preserve it. I plan to do this by making a college of spinach leaves, and creating several copies so that if it doesn't turn out I don't have to completely restart the process. The reason I want to do this is because I plan to take a photo of a place I used to always hang out with my brother when we were still together, and I thought it would be a good idea to show that I've grown from that place by printing on plants. I will have to make the actual photo high in contrast so that it will show up, but the photo itself on the leaves should look dark and old, like a photo that you left up in your attic from your childhood. I'll be illustrating a landscape, as we were in the forest for 16 hours everyday. The image will most likely be an 8 x 10, but it might be a bit bigger or smaller in order to make my photo work.
