MOTION

One of the areas we touched on in last weeks lecture and IT sessions was the use of post production and how it can enhance an initial photograph or campaign, coming from a photography background in which a lot of my work was focussed on architecture or figurative photography, I have been used to relying on a strong location to enhance the quality of my images, Tim's lecture given on post production techniques opened up an area of knowledge for me I hadn't yet had the chance to explore.

This is where my piece 'motion' came about,  initially it was just experimentation and one big mess to start off with as I found I was trying to incorporate too many of the new techniques I had learned. To create this piece I used the stroke tool to form a solid line around the outside of the figure, I then duplicated this layer numerous times and overlapped the shaped to make the image appear as though it was vibrating.   My ideas behind this piece, once I had experimented, was to work on the idea of 'motion' and to create a repetition of linear shapes taken from the outlines of my images to create something that looked almost like a sound wave or motion pathway.  

For a first time attempt at something so bright and colourful, which definitely isn't my comfort zone, I don't think its too shabby!
