Work Diary - Multi Imagery

Evaluation:
In this section I took a range of images of foliage and then using a checkerboard layout, I gave what was a very simple series of images the illusion of one large image that had sections removed. This give a kind of trick of the eye and turns a dull image to an intriguing image, as the eye fills in missing section.

Again a similar subject matter of some foliage. But by increasing the amount of squares the image becomes much more abstract to the point where you need to look very hard to see what the image is made up from. Both the texture of the foliage and the repetition of squares appear to become more equally important as the frequency of repetition increases. Where as in the first image the foliage is the most important factor.

By taking the multiple imagery to more extreme lengths and overlaying in photoshop the patterns created become ever more textural and repetitious and the focal point of the image and the fact that each square is foliage is almost of no importance as below.

Progression:
If I were to continue this I would like to add different layers of photos to create a more complex image which would be more interesting. I would need to take multiple images from the same point of view and by moving the elements around such as a persons limbs and by combining these in photoshop the image could become very surreal. The repetition of the ladies becomes the intriguing part of the images.

This is a good example of what I could achieve in photoshop. But it would take a lot of retouching and a lot of layers work to achieve. Here the photographer has used a dark dress so making it easy to blend the image seamlessly.

This is the type of image I would like to do because it is made of lots of layers and has a duplicated person in it. The repetition of the person and the fact the in each pose she is dressed differently ads a new element to the shot.In this way a timeline is presented in a single shot as each images add a further activities and dimension to the character. The brain starts interpreting and creating a story of contexts of the events.

Here are some images of multi image by other photographers that I found on the internet. Multiple images are when you have a repeating unit in the same image. They can be used to make very interesting images with the same people repeated though out the image.

Here we see a multiple image of someone pointing and a still image movement from point to point. They also used a black and white tone which eliminates the background and causes the viewer to only pay attention to the man pointing and not to anything else which makes the image more interesting. The reason I chose to include this image is because it is a good example of multiple imagery and also uses the formal element of tone as well.

Here there are multiple images of waves on top of each other to make a wavy affect. This makes it seem like because there are loads of waves stacked on top of each other it makes it look larger and more violent and dangerous. This also makes the wave look fake and unrealistic.

Here we see lots of layers of the same woman around a man. This image was probably made by a person to make it look like he is worshiped by women. This technique can be applied to lots of things and also can makes some interesting images which duplicate a certain object or person multiple times.

Here we see the photographer has taken a photo of someone and has used their outline and put an image of a forest within it. This is a rather interesting image because it takes all the detail out of the person and has been replaced with an image of a path in a forest. The only detail left in the person is their own basic outline.

Here we see that a guy has taken an image of the same area with him in deferent positions.  This is interesting because if it wasn't the same person then it looks like a normal bus stop and actually has people doing stuff they do at a bus stop while waiting for the bus.

Here we see the same women in her room doing lots of different things.
