Visually intresting photos

When I heard about the main brief haveing photos included, I was at first put off, not only because camera shy but also because I felt it lacked creative interest and design. So I started to look at how illustrators make photos/films more fun using props, designs and lighting effects

Lord Whitney is a collaboration of set design and prob artists between Amy Lord and Rebekah Whitney. They design interesting and imaginative sets and use the photos taken as the work of art. There sets are colourful, noticeable, original  and imaginative and they really know how to capture the creative eye. Although I would not be expected or allowed to go so over the top in my photos, using bright colours or fun sets should capture the viewer’s attention and brings a lot of fun and interest to the page.

 

 

A scanner darkly is an animated science fiction thriller based on a noval by Philip Dick. The film uses Rotoscope, drawings over real footage and creative the illustration of moving animation. I used Rotoscoping in college to create a short animated feature about a small animal visiting college.

 

Rotoscoping is another “out there” idea I could use for my cook book images. I could photograph me and then draw over myself and make a visually interesting set of photos.
