Dillemuth+-+Lost+and+Found



The subject of my pictures will probably be scenery. I want to create a picture of an abandon house, like the third picture in the banner, by combining different elements from pictures that I already have. I will probably end up using a lot of my pictures from my cell phone to create the image I want. The concept for this is to try and create a "lost" house that was found on an adventure or something. It will be a photo montage of my old pictures that I have "found". I really like the idea of making a lost house because I adored the idea of finding houses like that when I was younger. I thought that old houses were so cool and I loved the architecture of them. By creating a lost house, I hope to give it an element of creepiness (as that is a large element in my own personality and art). It will probably end up being a lost, haunted house.

I'm not sure if I want to make one picture or three, I am debating it at the moment because I have very interesting ideas for both. I will probably just make one picture as that sounds easiest to combine all the details in. I don't think I would be able to make a montage of three montaged pictures which is what I was kind of thinking about before. For lighting, I'm not sure how that will end up. Most of the pictures that I want to use have natural lighting but at different times of the day. So natural sunlight will most likely be the lighting that I end up working in. The only other art processes I will need to create this image would be to edit them slightly in Photoshop and then montage all the details into one, realistic looking photo. I will work on the project digitally so I won't be using any physical art supplies, just the digital ones that I was planning on.

The principles of art I want to use would be movement and unity. I definitely want to try to making everything look unified by using the same image throughout the piece in ways that make it look like they were there all the time. I would like to use movement with the trees blowing in the wind but I'm not quiet sure how I will pull that off.

The images above really inspired me, especially the third one, to create a piece from images that I already have. To make something new and interesting with the dull pictures that I took on my cell phone or from any in the units before. I really hope to focus on making it look like it could actually be a place like the third one. I want my piece to look like the empty hospitals: creepy and almost ghostly but still very real.
