I had a nice long description written out for these two photos, but it seems as though this application decided to delete it. I’ll give you the short version.
I’m going to be posting a handful of photos from last semester. It’s about time I get around to doing this. The Fall semester starts in three weeks!
These are from my Alternative Photo class where we explored older photographic techniques (cyanotype, salt print, albumen print, liquid emulsion) that are obsolete in the commercial world, but because of their unpredictable nature can be desirable among artists. I consider them simply another technique to add alongside any other Photoshop technique.
"It’s Totally Saturn" is simply of a chandelier printed in the cyanotype process then turned upside down to reference a UFO, outer space, etc. It’s a simple example of how the pictorialist imagery has influenced my work.
"Pots" is of similar style. It uses simple imagery and the cyanotype processing reduces the sharpness make it a simpler photo.
