Concept:
My project idea was to take random pictures of living things including: animals, people, and flowers, during the day so that I can use natural lighting. Then I drew a portion of the picture taken, and took pictures of the drawings as well. The goal was to create a juxtaposition of drawings, and sketches to contrast with real life photography I took. This depicts what I see physically from my eyes, in comparison to how my mind allows me to draw it out partially on paper. photographs give me the ability to take a snapshot of a certain time, and setting in reality, and drawings are my way of showing how my brain depicts reality.
Execution:
First I took pictures of living things (people, plants, and animals,) in natural
lighting, and edited them to look as realistic, and natural as possible. Then I chose seven photographs that I wanted to work off of. Once I decided what images to utilize, I drew certain portions based on each photograph, and took photographs in natural lighting as well. Then I layered, and manipulated the photograph drawings with the original photographs on Photoshop to try to create a juxtaposition of photograph vs drawing. (Reality vs perception.)
