Some of my Digital Imaging Work
I've selected 5 pieces to display for now. Click on each to see a slightly bigger version. They open up in new windows, so be aware!
The Abstract Bear
This is an image done entirely in Photoshop. I wanted to create something I had never created and/or seen anywhere. I had no goal with this piece except to finish with something that looked attractive and un-like anything I had seen before.
I used many different pre-set Photoshop brushes as well as some I had made myself. It was a challenge picking which tools to use since I was not aware of what the end result would or should look like.
The image, in my opinion, has a warm feel to it which is something I'm proud of. I think it's fascinating to think that a digital image can evoke warmth.
I hope "The Abstract Bear" warms you up just a little bit.
The Gardner Billboard
This is a heavily Photoshopped image I took while driving down the Gardness Expressway in Toronto. It was a day covered with clouds where the sun barely made an appearance. This is one of of those times.
With this piece, I attempted to show how light in an othewise dark day, can make a world of difference. The image is approximately 50% white. This is the sun making itself known. The sun is battling the bottom half of the image which is almosty entirely black.
There are no distinct features because I want the viewer to focus on the battle between light and dark.
8-10 Seconds
As the title of the image implies, all of the different images that comprise this piece were taken in a window of 8-10 seconds. With this piece, I wanted to display the difference a few seconds can make. Everything is the same, but a little different at the same time.
I employed the use of many Photoshop tools to add a sense of time to the image. "Ripples in time" is a great way to explain the alterations I added to the image. The cropping and placement of the comprising images was inspired by comic strips, where each strip is a just one snippet of an event.
