We created a photo cover, rather than a dust jacket, which you can customise with more than one photo and include text for whatever finish you prefer. You can also put the title on the book’s spine. http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2013/10/22/best-photo-book-reviews-of-the-top-self-publishing-options-for-photographers/ Preparing digital images for output

Digital Negatives The digital negative is a new technology which allows photographers to use digital files to create negatives on transparency film. These negatives can be used to contact print, or in some cases if the negative is made large enough (about 4x5") they can be. enlarged.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_negative_(transparency) I have included a youtube video to explain a bit more below. Collages and Montages Photomontage is the process and the result of making a composite photograph by cutting,gluing, rearranging and overlapping two or more photographs into a new image. Sometimes the resulting composite image is photographed so that a final image may appear as a seamless photographic print. A similar method, although one that does not use film, is realized today through image-editing software. This latter technique is referred to by professionals as "compositing", and in casual usage is often called "photoshopping", due to a particular software often used.[1] A composite of related photographs to extend a view of a single scene or subject would not be labeled as a montage. Liquid Emulsions Audio visual presentations simply a more engaging way of pretending your work. Concept: I like how Modernism has a very industrial, clean, almost minimalistic style it has on photography, while the romance and softness you get in Pictorialism creates such contrast to each other. I guess these two are my biggest interests and inspiration. I have always wanted to capture something both soft yet strong at the same time. Perhaps The modernism's cleanness can become the framing or colour style, while the pictorialistic style can influence my subject in portrait shoots. Planning: In Pictorialism, male or female bodies are usually the main subject of the Art, focusing on the bodily, emotion and facial expression. While in modernism, peoples everyday life, city scape with high contrast, usually in mono tone are the main subject. planning of recreating or mimicking both styles will be done in a studio setting. clean back ground, simple directional light, soft lighting to mimic the soft capture in Pictorialism, with minimal decoration and composition to reflect on the modernism style: Lighting: big soft box on a 60 degree and relatively high above the subject to mimic natural light. white background paper. very simple. Post-Production: Basic clean up of an image, soften highlights and black to create that pictorial softness style, desaturate colours to create mono tone. also select low contrast. Burn and dodge. Eggleston’s photographs are not taken from a normal eye level. By modifying the usual viewpoint of the observer (horizontal and at the height of the eyes), Eggleston creates new angles and causes different sensations making the observer look at objects from another perspective. A good example for that is Eggleston’s famous picture of a child’s bicycle with three wheels which was taken from an extreme angle from below, making the rather small childlike object seem monumental. I love how the frames are composited in such an asymmetrical way yet it feels very balanced and modern, with a sense of life. bright colour yet quite clean and simple. http://www.phaidon.com/agenda/photography/articles/2012/september/25/william-eggleston-unseen-kodachrome-dye-transfer-process-photos-on-show-for-the-first-time-ever/

The act of deciphering the “text” and unveiling the hidden assumptions behind it is what Jacques Derrida calls “deconstruction.” (Robert Hirsch, Seizing the Light: A History of Photography) The notion that there is not a single truth of experience is at the core of postmodern thinking. That is in direct opposition to the modernist view of trying to discover the “essence” of essential meaning in the world." (Robert Hirsch, Seizing the Light: A History of Photography) Postmodernism defines the name of the art movement of the second half of the 20th century. Postmodern photography is characterised by atypical compositions of subjects that are unconventional or sometimes absent. Postmodernist practitioners believe that one can still create art while ignoring “the rules”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmodernism#Influence_on_art http://art134.blogspot.com.au/2007/12/post-modern-photography-idea-before.html Demonstrate Photoshop stitching techniques Thanks to the all mighty Photoshop, this was achieved quite easily.
HIGH CONTRAST - Background Saturation, Foreground colour alter (invert) - Texture. If there was one artist who personified Pop Art, it was Andy Warhol. Originally working as a commercial artist, his subject matter was mostly taken from images of mass-culture: advertising, comics, newspapers, TV and the movies.
“Everything is beautiful. Pop is everything.” – Andy Warhol Pop Art was the art of popular culture. It was the visual art movement that characterised a sense of optimism during the post war consumer boom of the 1950's and 1960's. It coincided with the globalization of pop music and youth culture, personified by Elvis and the Beatles. Pop Art was brash, young and fun and hostile to the artistic establishment. It included different styles of painting and sculpture from various countries, but what they all had in common was an interest in mass-media, mass-production and mass-culture.
