False Advertising: Photo Walk




Advertisements aren't always what they seem because the companies want the food to look awesome and make you want it while when you go buy the food it doesn't look as good in person as it does in the pictures they put out.

Surrealistic Theme


For my surreal photomontage I would like to do a self-portrait. I really liked a piece by Rene Magritte called A girl with Java curls. For me to have all the pictures I need I would have to take a picture holding the mirror and another picture of just the mirror and the last one of just my reflection in the mirror. To then make my picture look similar id need to use photo shop to cut out the mirror and place the picture with my refection in place of where the inside of the mirror was.

Surrealistic Artists Research



Rene Magritte was born in 1898 in Lessines, Belgium to a wealthy manufacturer father. Rene decided to study at the Academie des Beaux-Art after his mother committed suicide in 1912. He Married Georgette in 1922. He was the most celebrated Belgian artist in the twentieth century, he had achieved great popular acclaim for his idiosyncratic approach to surrealism.  He died in 1967.

 
Man Ray was born in 1890 in Philadelphia, PA. In 1980 he was offed a scholarship to study architecture, he turned it down to focus on a career as an artist. In 1915, Ray held his first solo art show at the Daniel Gallery which featured many paintings and drawings. In 1918 he had produced some incredible work, photographs of art that he had created himself. Due to his failed marriage, lack of money and the weak enthusiasm for Dada art in the States, Ray moved to France where he spent the next 18 years of his life.   


 

 

Artist’s Name: Rene Magritte

Title: Golconda

Date: 1953

Description: It’s a lot of men in black trench coats and hats in different angles raining down on a building.

Analysis: this piece isn’t very symmetrical because the building wouldn’t quite match up.

Interpretation: I find the meaning of this piece to be that men rule the world. It also reminds me of the song it’s a raining men.

Judgment: I think that this is a very good piece. Magritte did a very good job and the further the men get the more they look like rain.

 
 

 
 
 

Artist’s Name: Man Ray

Title: Woman with long hair

Date: 1929

Description: It’s a woman with long hair, it looks like she is bending back on something but she looks like kind of dead and it’s like a very dreary feel.  

Analysis: This piece is very symmetrical vertically, but it’s not at all horizontally.

Interpretation: I think the purpose of this picture is to show death.

Judgment: I think that this picture is very well done, I feel like he went for a more dreary look and he did exactly that.

Portrait Series

 
 
 
 
This portrait series, shows the process of me doing a sock bun. First I brush out my hair then put it up in a ponytail, then I put the sock in and hang the hair over and hold it down with a hair tie, after that's done I twist the leftover hair and hold it in place with bobby pins, and you have a sock bun!

Photography Composition

 
Angle (Straight)

Kattleya V.Nieto 2014



Angle- Point of view of a camera
 
This picture expresses the straight angle because I’m eye level with my dog. This picture was achieved by sitting my dog in a baby swing and matching the camera to her eye level.

Focus (Sharp)

Jensen V.Nieto 2014

 
Focus- the point where light rays originating from a point on the object converge

 
This picture expresses sharp focus because you can see everything clear and tell what is what. I achieved this picture by putting my bunny in the grass and holding my phone sideways to take it.
 
 
High Key
 
Enzo V.Nieto 2014

Framing
Pappy V.Nieto 2014
 
Framing- shooting through something to get the main subject behind it. The subject is “framed” by something in the foreground
 
This picture shows framing because the window is wrapping around my dog. This was achieved by standing my dog on the seat of one of my father’s car.
