First response
in this task I had to capture the model in the air making it look as if they float.
Second response
WWW: I decided to take it from the side in order to capture the effect as if he is walking. I also made sure that the feet weer flat in the photo.
EBI: I feel like I focused too much on capturing the effect of levitation and didn't focus on technique such as framing.

ZOOM BLUR
Dominic harris
Dominic Harris is a British artist and photographer who takes photos using the zoom blur technique.
Dominic Harris is an artist who uses technology to construct highly personal interpretations of the natural phenomena which surround us.
His reverence for nature, coupled with his fascination for code, offers a surreal and whimsical take on reality, which ultimately challenges our own perceptions of the world about us. His responses, aesthetic yet playful, conceal a carefully-observed commentary on the digitisation of our daily experiences, which plays both upon our emotions, and our relationship with the technology-fuelled 21st century Pop Culture.
As these technologies, unstoppable and fascinating, invade our lives, and intrude upon us in ever more intimate ways, Dominic captures the sometimes-menacing march of the information age turning it to our advantage in an insightful and seamless blending of nature with code. He is part of a small, and important, coterie of artists who are pushing the envelope of feasibility and redefining what is acceptable within the art world.
Dominic graduated from Cranbrook Kingswood School in Michigan, and returned to England to read Architecture at the Bartlett School, University College, London. He graduated with top distinctions, qualifying as an architect in 2003, and going on to work for the avant-garde architectural practice Future Systems.
In 2007 Dominic founded his own studio in Notting Hill, London, where he and his team design, engineer, code and fabricate his artworks and installations. Since 2012 Dominic has been represented by the Dutch gallery Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design; his works are exhibited at the most important art and design fairs across the globe, and in several major permanent galleries and foundations.

1st response
in this task I had to take photos using the zoom blur technique.
Zoom blur is when you set your shutter speed to a slow shutter speed so the photographer has time to zoom in and then zoom out again causing the blur effect. I had my shutter sped on 1/13 so there was enough time to zoom in and out while my shutter was open.
www: I achieved the effect by having a good technique
EBI: Next time I should go to (a different location), photograph at a different time of day, organise people in advance, think more about my composition

WWW: I successfully created gifs using photoshop and took the right photos in order to make them.

Final Piece
I chose this photo because it uses the levitation effect to make it look like the subject is walking on a car.
I chose this GIF because I used photoshop well to create this effect in my opinion.
|
I chose this subject because it looks a lot like the subject is walking in the air and the use of the appeture to make it look like they haven't jumped. Also I had the camera on high shutter speed which made it possible to create this image.
I chose this GIF because I think it has a lot going on in it and I think I did well to put all the images together in photoshop to create the GIF.
