I took this photo on a walk a while back, I thought the leading lines techniques were really cool, and the leaves on the ground made it look like a very typical Portland day.
Cyanotype: a photographic blueprint.
Using the photo I took on the walk, I created a cyanotype. I created new layers in photoshop, and created the borders and new colors, so the photo would look completely different and older. Then I added a watercolor texture to add a different and new look.
I took this photo of caper when I was at home, because the lighting wasn't the best and he kind of looked blurry, which I thought would be good for a project like this.
Daguerreotype: a photograph taken by an early photographic process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor.
I created this photo by blurring it, tinting the color, and adding grunge textures to make it look older. I finished it off by adding a border to make it look like it's on a silver plate.
I took this photo the other day when I was taking my dog out for a walk, and thought it would look cool for this project because the light was hitting my phone in a weird way, and it made it look kind of grungy and bad quality. Therefore it was kind of a bonus and a lead because I didn't have to edit it all that much, other than adding color.
Gum bichromate is a 19th-century photographic printing process based on the light sensitivity of dichromates. It is capable of rendering painterly images from photographic negatives. Gum printing is traditionally a multi-layered printing process, but satisfactory results may be obtained from a single pass.
I edited this picture a lot, and added a bunch of new colors to make it seem kind of like fall. I made the trees underexposed so you couldn't see any detail- just the outline. Then I added a whole lot of colors. To top it off, I added a watercolor texture for added effect.
