Justyna Badach Bachelor Portraits- Blue Sky

John, 2009

Robert, 2009

I love the lighting and shadowing in each one of these. I think that the darkness in the shadows really give off the effect of loneliness in most of these, which is also defined in the men's faces. I also really appreciate the angles that Badach used and how she approached them. Close enough to get all the details and to depict the meaningful things in their lives, but far away enough to not intrude. Also, I love John's photograph (2009) with the hallway of eptiness (besides all the wall decor) in the background with the door open. I think that this show at Blue Sky was one of my favorites that I've seen in a while. Just the way these men's lives were depicted in a single photograph and their faces how they come across deep in thought is captured perfectly.

Acetone Transfer

Potential triptych idea. Shoot film, print it in darkroom then make photocopy. Once transfered to white/cream/beige paper I would use oil based colored pencils or acrylic paints to color the image.

Love the dirtiness and grittiness in these photos. They're so real and simple, yet there is so much going on in each photograph. 

Food Coloring in Water

Independent project test run. Next time I do this I want more detail in the ink and want to focus more on single colors. Love the all blue ones, will probably do more with that. None of these have been edited or enhanced in anyway. 

Diptychs and Triptychs

Diptychs and triptychs fall under series photography. Usually matched up, connected to eachother to make up one piece, creating the series.  I  think that they're used when one picture isn't enough to sum up the object, person, or event.

Diptychs- 2 photographs

Triptychs- 3 photographs

Cubism

Cubism: multiple photographs combined to create a single photograph/ image. Similar to photo collages, mosaics, or montages. Originally developed in the 20th century by painters like Picasso, eventually was introduced into photographic techniques. 

Couldn't find the artists names for any of these but I love that they combined motion with cubism. Would love to figure out how to do this.

BEN YATES

The sculptures that Yates creates are really intriguing. I love how he doesn't just take a bunch of little photos and creates it into a larger photo, he creates a sculpture out of it. Making it bigger with different materials makes the overall image more appealing and pleasurable to look at. 

CHRIS HARTSCHUH

Halina

1998. 

Loewe

1998.

Monti

1998. 

Love the detailing that goes into Chris' work in these three representational cubism pieces. Probably my favorite photocubism artist, besides David Hockney if he were to be classified just based off his cubism work. 

David Hockney Joiners

Telephone Pole, 1982

David Hockney

Love this one! 

Gregory and Shino---1982

The Desk-David Hockney

1984

Reminds me of my self-portrait assignment. Kind of like a mix between my contact sheet and a rasterbation. (Still want to try a rasterbation of an object or a portrait)
