Diptych #2

For my second diptych, I wanted to portray some form of artwork, in terms of painting or drawing - something I am passionate about. I thought taking a photo of my current project and placing it next to one of art supplies would make an interesting pairing. When reviewing my photos, though, I decided that a photo of a tote bag from the Academy of Art University would make a more interesting, as well as a slightly less obvious pairing. It didn't turn out quite as well I would have liked, but I'm still fond of the idea and of the subjects themselves.

Diptych #1

With this diptych, I chose to take my dress form and clothe and position it to personify a woman getting ready to go out, and compare it with a photo of an actual person.

Retouched Photo

This is an [obviously] old photo of my uncle as a baby, taken in 1954, I believe. If I'm mistaken, I'll make sure I come back and change the date later. The picture on the left is the original, and the one on the right is the finished edited copy.

The Lovely Coco Chanel

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." ~Coco Chanel I was looking at photos on google and came across this photo and quote from Coco Chanel. She's a favorite of mine [being that I want to one day be a fashion designer myself], so I found it fitting to put her on my blog. Plus, I must admit I agree with the quote.

Chuck Close 2

This is another photo I decided to edit with the Chuck Close style in mind. It's not edited by grid, but rather by free-hand, as I pleased during editing. I find it rather whimsical. =)

Chuck Close

This was the Chuck Close assignment; I finally got around to posting this. =P The photo is of my best friend, Julia. The assignment was to take a portrait, then edit it using photoshop, creating a Chuck Close-style edited portrait.
