Image Manipulation

Assignment Proposal/Research Document

Image manipulation is the process of modifying images and has been around as long as photography itself. Image manipulation can bring photos to life and give them a whole new meaning as you can just about do anything in Photoshop.

 An idea I have for my manipulation project is going to be one image made from a few different images. I plan on making a collage with the images to form one image. The location I plan on shooting my images at, is Poolbeg lighthouse. I chose this location because I enjoy going there and I already have taken images at the location before, which will help me visualise what I’m going to do for my project. I plan to take many images in order to have a lot to choose from. I don’t intend to do much editing to the images separately, however when combined to make one image, I believe that it will look cool.

I plan on setting up a tripod a certain distance away from the lighthouse. I am going to use my own camera which is a Sony rx100. The idea I have is to take many photos from the same spot at different times of the day. By taking the images from the same spot, I believe it will be easier to stitch the images together to look like one image. The theme I will be going for is contrasting views. Everyone perceives things differently based on their beliefs and ways of thinking. Therefore, I want to create one image that has a number of different aspects to it to show different people can look at the same thing differently.

Background Research: Prior to choosing my idea, I researched various photography styles to see what appealed to me for this project. Three which I have decided to incorporate into this project are, Landscape photography, outdoor photography, and abstract photography. I will be shooting my images in landscape and with the collage I intend to add an abstract element, while keeping all elements of the image as real images. A photo collage is a collection of pictures that are put together to make one image. I have researched some photographers who use the collage method in their images, and they are, Julien Pacaud, Mareen Fischinger, and Jessie Craig.

I chose this image because, I like the contrast between the darkness in the foreground and the light shining in the background. I like the positioning of the deer and the eerie feel to the photograph. Image sourced: (Amateur Photographer magazine) I like this image as it shows two rivals giving it their all on the field, neither player backing out of a challenge. Image sourced from: Roy Keane The second half with Roddy Doyle.   I chose this album cover as I feel it perfectly captures the mood of the album in such a simple fashion. There is an element of chaos and calmness in this image. You get the message with this image as you do with the content in the songs. Image sourced from : Dave Psychodrama Vinyl.

  This image was shot using both soft box lights and camera settings of Shutter speed 1/200, f/14 and ISO 100. I feel this image could’ve been a bit brighter. For this image I used both soft boxes one with a blue filter and one with a pink filter. I like the effect it had on the watch and the surface. I used 1/200, f/11 and ISO 100. I used a light cone for this image in order to focus the light onto the watch. I feel that this gave a nice effect as the background is still relatively dark. I used the same settings for this image as I did for the second image.
