Motion Blur

5 tips I learned about motion blur:

  1. I learned to make use of my surroundings. Playgrounds have many opportunities to make good motion blur pictures like round-a-bouts and swings.
  2. Photographing cars passing by or placing a camera outside your car is a good idea for a motion blur project.
  3. Go to fairs. Fairs have many colorful lights and fast-moving rides.
  4. To be creative, start with an Umbrella shot. Using a colorful umbrella can create spiral looking patterns.
  5. Go down a busy street, with everyone moving the motion blur can make it look like everyone is blending in with one another.

Jump Start Your Photography

10 ways a photographer can get inspired:

  1. Recreate the Style of another photographer: Recreating the style of another photographer or artist can help you get inspired and give you ideas. You can also add some of their elements into your style to make something new!
  2. Listen to music: A good song can help you get more ideas. You take pictures that go along with the song or make a story using the song lyrics in your photography. Or you can just use the music to get you pumped up and in the mood to create!
  3. Shoot an ordinary item seven different time: Try out different angles and pose your subject different each time if you can! This allows you to be more creative and make more use out of simple objects.
  4. Photograph your food: Everyone loves their favorite foods. Some foods look aesthetically pleasing. Take a picture of your meal and edit it and make it even more appealing!
  5. Take a self-portrait:  In the end, you’re your best subject and nobody can display your beauty and show it of better than you. Be your own photographer, subject and critique. It allows you to put more on the table and use your creativity entirely.
  6. Take on a photography challenge: There are many challenges online that can put your creativity to the test. There could be many techniques you never tried before and challenges can help you learn more about your camera.
  7. Read an art magazine: Art magazines can offer photography equipment and trigger new ideas with the artwork they display.  Magazines are so full of inspirational stuff and free to use ideas.
  8. Go through CD covers: CD and album covers often have pictures that are related to the theme of the album, try and make your own. Make an album cover for your favorite albums by other artists or go for a theme that speaks to you.
  9. Shoot a sporting event: Many historical moments happen in sporting events. Photographing an event can offer opportunities to catch a good shot and you have plenty of time to capture pictures of your favorite teams.
  10. Join a photo walk: Interacting with other photographers can help you learn more techniques and gain new ideas. Some photographers might see something you’re not and vice versa. So, photo walks with others are the perfect experience to get inspired.

 

Digital art in the style of Sandy Skoglund

This is my photoshop work inspired by Sandy Skoglund! I think this is probably my favorite photoshop piece this year. I don’t think I added as much detail as Sandy Skoglund’s work, but I’m proud regardless.

This piece by Sandy Skoglund is my favorite. I am such a big fan of contrasting colors, and what stands out to me is how Sandy makes every single prop. It tells the person viewing the photo just how much effort was put into it. Sandy has a unique style of photography using colors to show the mood of the picture. Blue is a bit of a sad color, while orange symbolizes happiness. I can only assume one person is sad while the other is happy or optimistic. I could be digging in to this too much, but that’s what this piece means to me. I love pictures that can stir up many emotions and feelings inside the person seeing it.
