These ordinary moments reflect both the vibrancy and humanity of city living.
Karl Blossfeldt was a German photographer known for his close-up photographs of plants published in 1929. He was inspired by nature and how plants grow, making many photographs with a homemade camera that could magnify plants up to 30 times their size to reveal details of their natural structure.
Karl Blossfeldt was a German photographer in the early 20th century known for his close-up photographs of plants that revealed intricate patterns and structures. He developed homemade cameras that could magnify subjects up to 30 times their size, allowing him to capture extraordinary details within plants. The document then discusses how the author attempted to replicate Blossfeldt's plant macro photography using a DSLR camera, tripod, and basic photo editing in Photoshop to adjust brightness, exposure, and crop the images.
Karl Blossfeldt was inspired by nature and used photography to capture the abstract shapes and microscopic details of plants in black and white. He edited his photos to reveal intricate structures. The document discusses how Stephen Heywood was influenced by Blossfeldt's work and took his own close-up black and white photos of dry organic objects, cropping the images and using depth of field to focus on specific areas while blurring the backgrounds.
Chuck Close is an American artist known for his photorealistic paintings and portraits. He was born in 1940 in Washington and showed an early talent for art. At age 14, he was inspired by seeing Jackson Pollock's paintings. Close studied art in college and developed a style using photo-transfers on large canvases. Though paralyzed from the waist down since 1988, he continues to paint using a brush strapped to his hand. Close is considered one of America's leading contemporary artists.
Chuck Close is a renowned New York artist known for his portraits that focus on faces. This portrait of Lorna Simpson presents her face emerging from shadows with silver tones that shimmer. Chuck has restricted the focus to her left eye while the rest of her face seems to fade into a haze. Inspired by Chuck Close's style and quote that "the closer you look, the more you see", the author took portraits of a friend using artificial light to highlight facial details and edited the photos in Photoshop to replicate Close's style.
Chuck Close is an American artist known for his photorealistic portraits and self-portraits. He received his MFA from Yale University in 1964. In 1988, he was paralyzed from the neck down due to a spinal artery collapse, but continued his art practice.

Throughout his career he has experimented with different media and techniques to push his artistic boundaries.
Chuck Close is an American painter and photographer known for his photorealistic portraits. He uses a grid system to enlarge photographs onto large-scale canvases. His portraits are highly detailed yet lack traditional details about the subjects' lives. After suffering a spinal injury in 1988, Close continued painting from his wheelchair using specialized equipment. He is driven to paint faces because he believes they profoundly impact how people relate to each other.

This document discusses photographs taken by Josh Sampson for his exam unit. It focuses on improving rural images through his photographs. Josh Sampson aims to showcase rural areas in a new light through his photographic work for an exam.
This student selected photographs from an exam unit on rural images. He circled photos that used compositional techniques like the rule of thirds and framing that he liked. He crossed out photos with compositions he did not like. His favorite photo showed opposing environments and different lighting between the background and reflection, making it very effective.
This document contains two names: Michael Bosanko and Josh Sampson. No other information is provided about these individuals. The document simply lists two names but does not provide any context or details about the people named.
This document appears to be about ideas that were generated using a spiderdiagram method. The spiderdiagram was created by Josh Sampson and likely contains a visual representation of interconnected ideas radiating out from a central topic. While brief, the document title suggests the content involves brainstorming various concepts mapped out in a diagram.

Darren Almond and Josh Sampson created an artwork titled "My Final Image". The brief document mentions two artists but provides no other context or details about the artwork, its meaning, medium, or any other descriptive information.
Eadweard Muybridge was a British photographer known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in the late 19th century. He used multiple cameras and tripwires to capture motion sequences, settling a famous bet about whether all four feet of a horse are off the ground at the same time during gallop. His photographic studies helped advance motion picture development and our understanding of movement.
Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French humanist photographer known as the "father of modern photojournalism." He pioneered candid street photography using a small, portable camera that allowed him to capture fleeting moments in time unobtrusively. Cartier-Bresson's photographs captured the human experience and conveyed a great deal of information about the people and culture in his images through chance encounters and everyday scenes.
Man Ray, Josh, and Sampson were three individuals mentioned in the document. No other details were provided about these people or what the document was about beyond listing their names. The document consisted of only three names with no other context given.
Guy Bourdin was a French fashion photographer known for his surreal, taboo-pushing images. His photographs challenged social norms and explored controversial themes through staged scenes and unexpected juxtapositions. Ultimately, Bourdin aimed to provoke thought and discussion through visually arresting images left intentionally ambiguous and open to interpretation.
Josh Sampson chose personal objects like cymbals and drumsticks to photograph because they reflect his interests and identity. He experimented with different photographic techniques, including adjusting the aperture to focus on certain objects, changing perspectives by shooting from above or below, and carefully composing the objects. The most successful image guides the viewer's eyes down a pathway of light between the objects, which are ordered from largest to smallest cymbals. Natural light near a window and a tripod were used to reduce camera shake for clear shots with low light.
The document provides instructions for using layers in Photoshop. It details four steps: opening two images and arranging them on the same page, using the Magnetic Lasso Tool to cut an object from its background, dragging the cut object to the second image as a new layer, and using Free Transform to scale and position the layered image over the second file before saving.
Cropping is the process of framing a photograph by including some visual elements while removing others. The document discusses that a good first step in cropping is to decide what parts of the photo are essential to the overall image and what parts do not add value. It also notes that in the author's class, students practiced cropping printed photos by using L-shaped cards to frame different areas of an image to determine the best composition.
Picasso was fascinated by Gjon Mili's photographs of ice skaters with lights attached to their skates. Inspired, Picasso took a camera into a dark room and used a torch to create swirling streaks of light that were captured when he left the shutter open. The author replicates Picasso's experiment, using a tripod and settings of ISO 400, F-stop 10, and 5 second shutter speed to photograph abstract shapes made with a torch. Post-processing in Photoshop improved the images by altering saturation and brightness levels.
The document discusses the author's experiments with different shutter speeds to capture movement in photographs. The author took photos of a friend strumming a guitar and riding a bike at shutter speeds ranging from 2 seconds to 1/1000 of a second. The author was pleased with the results, which demonstrated how shutter speed can impact the appearance of movement in images.
Shutter speed refers to how long a camera's shutter remains open, measured in seconds or fractions of seconds. Using a tripod allows for longer shutter speeds, which can blur moving objects while keeping static objects sharp. The document then discusses the photographer's process for experimenting with shutter speeds using a hose and black backdrop to capture water droplets at various shutter speeds ranging from 1/1000 to 1/10 of a second.
Bill Wadman is a New York City photographer known for his motion blur photographs of dancers. He experimented with long exposure shots to capture the fluidity and grace of dance movements. For his shots, Wadman used a shutter speed of 3.2 seconds, f-stop of 10, and ISO of 200. He communicated effectively with the dancers to repeat combinations that worked best in the photographs. The document then discusses how a student applied similar techniques, using a Canon 100D on ISO 500, f-stop 10, and shutter speed of 25 seconds to capture motion blur shots of their teacher.
Victor Schrager is a New York artist known for his photographs featuring books. He was interested in the colors of old book covers and would photograph books with selective focus so they appeared to vaporize. His images purposefully go out of focus to eliminate details on the books. The document discusses someone attempting to recreate Victor Schrager's style by taking photos of arranged books with adjustments to focus, exposure, and saturation in Photoshop to match Schrager's aesthetic of blurred, floating books.
This document compares photos taken with different f-stop settings to demonstrate how depth of field changes. Photos with a lower f-stop like f/4 have a shallow depth of field so the background is blurry, while higher f-stops like f/25 provide a greater depth of field where the entire photo is in focus.
This document outlines 30 photo challenge prompts for Josh Sampson to complete over 30 days. The prompts include topics like self portraits, landscapes, abstract photos, photos of animals, and photos exploring themes like childhood memories, friendships, nighttime scenes, and close-up versus distant shots.
