Break the Structure
Thomas Kelner
Thomas Kelner creates a collage of images through a selection of different angles to provide and abstract overview of a structure. He used an analogue camera to create a contact sheet of all the angles to compile. He would take hundreds of photos and carefully compile them to create one giant composition of images to create the end result below. I recreated with photoshop and pictures of the internet.

WWW: I think that the way I reproduced the artists work in my own way quite well through photoshop and twisted them to create a similar effect with multiple layers of photos beneath.
EBI: I think the photos themselves could've been better executed. The composition of the photos, with better leading lines the effect of the grid would be stronger.

Twisted Structure
Nicholas Kennedy Sitton
Nicholas Kennedy Sitton is a San Francisco-based photographer who uses a technique similar to the special effects used in the box office hit, Inception. We love the abstract form and twisted pattern that Sitton achieved through cutting and rotating the image segments slightly.
David Corpithone
Brazilian photographer David Corpithone created some amazing images by mixing film, digital manipulation and geometry. The photographer states: “My motivation and dedication is to capturing the amazing scenarios that are missed by the average eye. I seek natural scenarios that you can’t find in a studio and attempt to visually adapt the vast crooks and corners of the world into my own creative output. To me, that’s where amazing photographs are born – that split second can change your life and ready or not you can change the world with a single digital image

Second Shoot
Edited Compilation
The Thames and City Warp Project is a creation of 52 warped sections taking over 10 hours to complete. Each circle is a calculated size down to its pixel radius. Furthermore, it is a development of the previous projects and so it is a combination of the Ansel Adams waves, the Ocean Project and the Nicholas Kennedy Sitton Warping Project.

WWW: Overall I think this was a very successful topic where I explored my imagination to expand on the artists work at the beginning of the topic. Where he used landscape photography and the majority of my photos were landscape I decided to incorporate portrait pictures into a landscape for my second shoot. Also the gifs created a very hypnotic effect on the images and impose movement in a previous still image and brings them to life, another development I expanded on from the artists main idea.
EBI: On some of the photos I could've incorporated a portion of feathering to smoothen out the cuts between the circles.

Structure In Nature
Myoung Ho Lee
Situated somewhere between botanical field studies, studio portraiture and billboard advertising, Myoung Ho Lee (b. 19750; Daejon, South Korea) creates tree studies that transform nature's craft into a work of art worthy of careful study. The tree 'portraits' toy with ideas of scale and perception, crafting an image within an image that both highlights and obscures the relationship between object and photograph.

Sanna Kannisto
Sanna Kannisto is a Finnish photographer (born 1974) who is noted for her photographs taken in rainforests and for her studio photographs of birds.
For all the plants i had a set up of the plant positioned in a clamps and floating infront of awhite background. For each hoto i had settings on the camera of a high F stop of around 2.7-4 to get high detail and help elliminate any unnecisary detail on the white background. In photoshop i decided to reducethe Blues and some purples of the background to make the background evenmore flat and create it as plain as possible. I also increased the texture and clarity togivethem an extra pop. I didnt touch any saturation overall in the image however i did increase the greens ever so slightly just to give the plants a bit more life.

WWW: I think all the images turned out very well and each pant had their own strengths which made them stand out from each other whether it was texture or colour. Also they way i conducted the shoot was sucessful as it replicated theidea that Kannisto was conveing.
EBI: The photographs couldhave beterrepresented Kanisto's art formof floating branches in themiddle of thecanvas.That is something i shouldve improved onto further the pieces.

Task - Capture the structure of Brutalism - The Barbican {London|
WWW: I thought i accurately depicted the work os Simon Phipps through photography in the brutalist area of The Barbican. After I had taken photos of the interesting structures and forms I edited them in photoshop to lower th exposure and remove the colour all together. I think they turned out very well.
EBI: I could have composed some of my photos better to improve the effect that Simon Phipps imposes on the viewer.

Christoph Relander
Born in 1986 in a small town of Ekenäs, near Helsinki, the artist has always been drawn towards art, since his early age. He studied Graphic design and Visual Art in the city of Porvoo. The turning point of his artistic direction was during his service in the Finnish Marines in 2008, when he became fascinated with the art of photography.
Relander is a self-taught photographer and especially known for his multiple exposures, an in-camera technique that he has used in most of his projects since 2010. His work is primary influenced by the art of Charles Swedlund, Harry Callahan and the famous Man Ray – their clever and inspiring multiple exposures introduced Relander to the indicated technique that opened possibilities to him as an artist.
