BIRDS EYE VIEW ROOM PHOTOS

Good one to show when teaching students about angles in photography!

Beautiful Bird's-Eye View Room Portraits

Fantasy Photo Shoots / The surreal

I'm exploring the concept of dream/constructed identities with year 11 in photography through a body of work they create on the topic "When I grow up".

A few photographers/artists we have looked at include Cindy Sherman, Yasumasa Morimura and Orlan in terms of concept, but visually/stylistically I want to show them these....

1. The Storybook Fantasies of Dara Scully  (also here)

2. The Surreal Photography of Oleg Oprisco (and here)

Examples of slow (long exposure) and fast shutter speed

Here are a few photographs/ photographers who create unique images through the manipulation of shutter speed. (These are good examples for the Year 9 Photo Challenge)

Long exposures/ slow shutter speed

1. Lincoln Harrison

Star trail long exposures in Australia desert.

2. Joel James Devlin

Capturing the effects of moving light through long exposure photographs.

(Super) fast shutter speed

 1. Alberto Seveso

Underwater ink photographs caught on high speed camera.

 

2. Mark Mawson

Again, capturing ink mixing with water on high speed.

3. Jonathan Robert Willis and Tadao Cern

 Wind (JRW) /  gale force winds (TD) blown directly to the face and frozen with fast shutter speed.

Ideas for [not so normal] portrait photographs

I am researching photographers for my Photography classes, focusing on identity and/or portraits, but represented in ways other than the stock standard portrait photo.

Here are a few....

1. John Stezaker

2. Superb Multiple Exposure Portraits by Christoffer Relander

3. Analog Double Exposure Photographs by Florian Imgrund

 

N.B. The effect of a double exposure can be easily achieved using Photoshop and layers/opacity.

 

4. Skull Portraits by Carsten Witte
