Amalgamation

Below are my two versions of amalgamations based off of work from Nancy Burson. I ran in quite a few difficulties with these works. First, I'm brand new to photoshop and had a lot of trouble navigating through all the tools.  For my Nancy Burton style amalgamation, I really struggled with aligning the portraits on top of each other. Everyone's face structure is different and it's hard to make the facial features line up, specifically the eyes. I also struggled with choosing the right opacity. I didn't want one image to be stronger than the other because then you couldn't see features from all the portraits. For my free-style amalgamation, I had trouble cropping the images to fit all six portraits in the frame. I was also difficult to vertically align the heads. However, I'd say my photoshop skills have improved from this project.

    These are wonderful and you describe effectively what kind of problems you faced, which I need to address in the future to have a module for Photoshop prior to this in class assignment. Work on setting the color balance on your camera for studio portraits, too warm; although I appreciate how you aligned them in according to the skin tones, a nice gradation.

He was mostly know for his series of “Poles,” “Containers,” and “Logos.”When I started this project I had set out with an idea in my mind and I did my best to capture that image. I quickly ran into some obstacles. First, the weather didn’t always corporate. I wanted to capture a white sky, clear of clouds. I was able to achieve that with my first shoot but not during any of the other shoots. It was hard to get the appropriate scenery also. In my mind and similar to Breuer’s style, I wanted to isolate the buildings. However, in New Hampshire and in Manchester specifically there is a lot of clutter that impeded me from achieving my desired scenery. At the end of this project I was able to curate a collection of old industrial architecture, the mills in Manchester and new industrial architecture from the Portsmouth Tradeport. Although this project didn’t turn out the way I intended I did come out of my comfort...
