Text in photographs

Steps of how i added text to one of my photographs.

1. i chose the picture that i wanted to add text to and opened in up in photoshop, i also chose to make the photograph black and white.

2. Then i chose the text icon which is the capital T from the list of icons displayed on the left hand side of the screen.

After that i clicked on the layer of my text

And then i chose the colour and size and font style of my text, in this case i chose to make the text red and the size 72 and the font style caligraphy.

Then i clicked on the layer of my text and clicked on the effects button (fx) to then change the style of my writing.

i then had to rasterise my text to that i could change how my image looked/.

afterward i stretched my text to make it bigger and easier to read then the i changed the perspective and tilted to text to make it look more interesting.

Lastly i clicked on the effects button again and edited my text by making it more 3 dimensional.

Next assignment photos

Next assignment

for my next set of photographs i want to take pictures of things on the streets or outside. Just everyday things that you would see around.

My choice

Before i searched for a picture to represent everyday i initially thought that i wanted to find a photograph of people, as i though people were a good representation of the everyday.

i searched and i came across this photo called the kids on place, by the photographer Robert Doisneau

This photo to me represents everyday, as these are just everyday kids on the street, and the photo is spontaneous and playful, they are not posing so it's very natural. Doisneau as a photographer, photographed all types of people, kids joking around, playing and enjoying life. And this is a representation of everyday as it shows what people do everyday.

This relates to my earlier work as i am also photographing people and documenting what sort of things that they do everyday around the home and various other places.

Assignment

my images are successful in terms of the theme of my assignment, and also that I took inspiration from my chosen photographer. I think that in terms of whether my photographs relate alot to my photographer is unclear as August sander took photographs of people in their everyday jobs and i documented what a family member did everyday during the holidays. However overall i feel that my photographs are successful.

Assignment photographs.

For my assignment i used august sander for inspiration, as for his photography he documented people in their everyday jobs, so i photographed one member of my family throughout the Christmas holiday doing everyday things.

This one of my favourite photographs that i had taken for my everyday assignment photographs. This is a photograph of my mum at a new years party,

Jouney Home.
