The work and career of Alexander Kravchenko's
Aleksander Mikhailovich Rodchenko was a Russian artist, sculptor, photographer and graphic designer. He was one of the founders of constructivism and Russian design; he was married to the artist Varvara Stepanova.
Rodchenko's work was heavily influenced by Cubism and Futurism, as well as by Malevich's Suprematist compositions, which featured geometric forms deployed against a white background. While Rodchenko was a student of Tatlin’s he was also his assistant, and the interest in figuration that characterized Rodchenko's early work disappeared as he experimented with the elements of design. He utilized a compass and ruler in creating his paintings, with the goal of eliminating expressive brushwork.

The work and Career of
Bill Brandt
Born in Hamburg, Germany, son of a British father and German mother, Brandt grew up during World War I, during which his father, who had lived in Germany since the age of five, was interned for six months by the Germans as a British citizen. Brandt later disowned his German heritage and would claim he was born in South London. Shortly after the war, he contracted tuberculosis and spent much of his youth in a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland.He traveled to Vienna to undertake a course of treatment by psychoanalysis. He was, in any case, pronounced cured and was taken under the wing of socialite Eugenie Schwarzwald. When Ezra Pound visited the Schwarzwald residence, Brandt made his portrait. In appreciation, Pound allegedly offered Brandt an introduction to Man Ray, whose Paris studio and darkroom Brandt would access in 1930.

The photographers quotes
It is part of the photographer's job to see more intensely than most people do. ...
A photographer must be prepared to catch and hold on to those elements which give distinction to the subject or lend it atmosphere. ...
And only the photographer himself knows the effect he wants.

Famous work and books the photographer made
In 1933 Brandt moved to London and began documenting all levels of British society. This kind of documentary was uncommon at that time. Brandt published two books showcasing this work, The English at Home (1936) and A Night in London (1938). He was a regular contributor to magazines such as Lilliput, Picture Post, and Harper's Bazaar. He documented the Underground bomb shelters of London during The Blitz in 1940, commissioned by the Ministry of Information.
During World War II, Brandt concentrated on many subjects – as can be seen in his "Camera in London" (1948) but excelled in portraiture and landscape. To mark the arrival of peace in 1945 he began a celebrated series of nudes. His major books from the post-war period are Literary Britain (1951), and Perspective of Nudes (1961), followed by a compilation of his best work, Shadow of Light (1966). Brandt became Britain's most influential and internationally admired photographer of the 20th century. Many of his works have important social commentary but also poetic resonance. His landscapes and nudes are dynamic, intense and powerful, often using wide-angle lenses and distortion.

The work and career of
David Hockney
David Hockney, OM, CH, RA is a British painter, draftsman, printmaker, stage designer, and photographer. As an important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century.
Hockney was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, to Laura and Kenneth Hockney (a conscientious objector in the Second World War), the fourth of five children. He was educated at Wellington Primary School, Bradford Grammar School, Bradford College of Art (where his teachers included Frank Lisle and his fellow students included Derek Boshier, Pauline Boty, Norman Stevens, David Oxtoby and John Loker) and the Royal College of Art in London, where he met R. B. Kitaj. While there, Hockney said he felt at home and took pride in his work.

Well you can't teach the poetry, but you can teach the craft.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way.

Parts of this photographers career
In the early 1980s, Hockney began to produce photo collages—which in his early explorations within his personal photo albums he referred to as "joiners"—first using Polaroid prints and subsequently 35mm, commercially processed colour prints. Using Polaroid snaps or photolab-prints of a single subject, Hockney arranged a patchwork to make a composite image. Because the photographs are taken from different perspectives and at slightly different times, the result is work that has an affinity with Cubism, one of Hockney's major aims—discussing the way human vision works. Some pieces are landscapes, such as Pearblossom Highway #2,others portraits, such as Kasmin 1982, and My Mother, Bolton Abbey, 1982.
Creation of the "joiners" occurred accidentally. He noticed in the late sixties that photographers were using cameras with wide-angle lenses. He did not like these photographs because they looked somewhat distorted. While working on a painting of a living room and terrace in Los Angeles, he took Polaroid shots of the living room and glued them together, not intending for them to be a composition on their own. On looking at the final composition, he realised it created a narrative, as if the viewer moved through the room. He began to work more with photography after this discovery and stopped painting for a while to exclusively pursue this new technique. Frustrated with the limitations of photography and its 'one-eyed' approach, however, he returned to painting.
Hockney had also written and published 27 books over his career and the latest one being released in 2016 called A "History of Pictures"

The work and career of
Ben Heine
Ben was born in 1983 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. where he spent the first seven years of his life, with his parents and three sisters. His family relocated in Brussels, Belgium, in 1990. His father was a commercial engineer and his mother a choreographer and a dance teacher. Heine started drawing at 11 years of age. At that time, his curiosity for visual art was his keenest interest.
Between 1988 and 2006, Heine undertook studies in different countries, including Ivory Coast, Belgium, the UK and the Netherlands. He attended primary school at Notre Dame de La Trinité in Brussels. As a student, Heine easily became frustrated and bored, often becoming difficult to manage in school. It wasn't until he attended secondary education at "Collège Saint Vincent" in Belgium that he evolved into a more disciplined student.As a teenager, he explored drawing, painting and writing poetry to music and athletics.

The Part of Photography that inspires me
The artworks in this series usually show a hand-drawn 2D sketch held and photographed by the artist in a specific location. They combine photography and drawing to infuse ordinary scenes with new surreal, visionary, or romanticized narratives. The inclusion of hand-held penciled sketches over a portion of the original photos allows Heine to enhance reality and open doors to an imaginary world.Heine brought some innovations to the concept in 2012 adding colors and black paper. Between 2010 and 2016, Heine's creations have been seen by the people through the exhibitions and news articles in major media outlets. Heine's first Pencil Vs Camera's images quickly gained popularity online and received positive criticisms from specialized and influential art sites along with news reports and international opportunities for the artist.
Some of primary and secondary public schools that are teaching Heine's Pencil Vs Camera concept are "International School of Beijing", "ColegioMenor in Quito", "Dover College", "Ecole Lamartine", "Ecole de Scorbé-Clairvaux","Ecole Renaudeau", "Collège La Bruyère Sainte Isabelle" and others. Since 2012, many other creators and artists have borrowed from Heine's innovations to create various forms of similar 3D artworks.

My own photographic work that will be soon edited in the style of
Alexander Kravchenko's
When I was taking these images I made sure that I was taking the images from angles that Alexander Kravchenko
would take pictures from (low down looking up or up high looking down) This was to make sure that when i edited the images they resembled Alexander Kravchenko's work as much as possible and the work shows how I am inspired by him. This ties into the project as the angles the photographs are taken from are strange and out of the ordinary, I tried to not fill the frame as Alexander Kravchenko's work has a wide frame and has a lot in his photographs.

Those photographs after using photoshop (CS5)
When I was making these edits in photoshop I tried my best to make them look like the effects that Alexander Kravchenko's has on his work, In my opinion the effects came out good and the effect is visually appealing and it clearly resembles my inspiration and research on the photographer. The photographs had to have a high contrast in black and white with white being the primary colour, Alexander Kravchenkos lacks a vignette witch is more prominent in more of modern photographers photographs.

Information about the area
The majority of the development was opened in phases on 29 May 2008 and 1 October 2008, during Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture, whilst the final residential units opened in early 2009.The cost of construction associated with the project was £500 million, with a total investment value of £920 million.
Liverpool ONE is a shopping, residential and leisure complex in Liverpool, England. The project involved the redevelopment of 42 acres (170,000 m²) of land in Liverpool city centre. It is a retail-led development, anchored by department stores Debenhams and John Lewis, with additional elements including leisure facilities (anchored by a 14-screen Odeon cinema and 36-hole adventure golf centre), apartments, offices, public open space, restaurants and transport improvements. The completion of Liverpool ONE has significantly boosted the local economy as well as lifted Liverpool into the top five most popular retail destinations in the UK.Liverpool ONE is the largest open-air shopping centre in the United Kingdom and the 6th largest overall. Each store was created by a different architect, thereby leading to quite stark differences between some buildings, and this is one way in which Liverpool ONE differentiates itself from other shopping centres.

In this part of my project I will be trying to replicate Ben Heines style of photography with my own photos and adding my own style to the photographs. First I will be using the school environment for my initial shoot then I will go to liverpool one to collect images that will look good with the style I have in mind and will pay homage to Ben Heine and his work.
My Initial photographs with out any photoshop or editing added to them
While I was taking these photographs I made sure that the photographs would contrast with the black and white sketching style I would overlay onto the photograph and would give the effect I wanted would show on the photographs. The pictures would have to have multiple colours (e.g brick yellow/red and grey).

How to make Ben Heine inspired work in Photoshop
Open the photograph you want to edit in photoshop
Duplicate the first layer but make the new layer invisible and select the bottom layer.
Turn the bottom layer black and white
(make sure there is a lot of contrast as it will help in the next few steps).
Use the filter tool and select the coloured pencil filter.
Use the sliders provided to make the image look like a drawing. (make sure the paper brightness is high to get the best result)
Now use the eye icon to see the top layer and select it, then select where you want the "paper" layer to show through.
Erase the top layer using the eraser tool
Flatten photograph and save
The final outcome
Experimenting with more complex photoshop in the style of Ben Heine
During this part of my project I will attempt to make photographs with a lot more complex features and edits.
I will to try to have a piece of paper on top of the image with the drawing on it, this will be troublesome because a lot of layers will be used and the pieces pf paper I choose will determine if this part of the project is successful.

The test photograph and the edit for it
Did the test go well?
The test went very well but i ran into a problem, while i was getting the paper ready for the edit when i as trying to remove the background on it because it was white i had to turn the contrast of the image up then go around the paper using the erase tool to get rid of the back ground which could have wasted time.
What will I do next
I will use the photographs of the school environment i already have and then edit them in the new style with the piece of paper and try to improve the quality and speed of the process. Then I will take portrait shots of other people and use this technique to give the product diversity and drew more inspiration from the work or Ben Heine.

My favourite photographs from this gallery
Experimenting with portrait photography
I wanted to experiment with portrait photography because Ben Heine does portrait photography so I will be able to draw inspiration of his work to produce my own work while I create my edits.
The portraits I will edit
When I took these photographs I put my model on a dark blue and light blue background instead of a white one because it would make more contrast with the pieces of paper that would be overlaid on top of the image. I also made sure that the light on the right side of his face was diffused as it makes the original image more eye catching than if all of his face was the same saturation or if the images were over saturated which I cant take away from the image as the file type is jpeg so i would have to go around the model to do that.
The photographs with the new edit
When I was editing these photographs I made sure that the pieces of paper contrasted with the face of the model and the blue background he had to stand in front of. I used different sizes of paper I the editing process so that it wasn't the same piece of paper over and over again and this gave the images diversity from the other photographs and would make the gallery more eye catching and pull the viewer in to take a full look at the photographs.

My own photographic work inspired in the style of
Bill Brandt
Why did I choose this photographer
I chose this photographer because his work shows the theme "unexpected perspectives" as he does stuff no other photographer does these days, these days photographers focus on nature and portraits Brantd made them but his best work is found in his street photography where he will photograph around streets and roads that weren't in the best condition and situation and then he would edit these photographs to convey their struggle even more which is unexpected as each photograph would make the viewer think about what the photograph is trying to convey.
The photographs I will try to replicate brandts style
When I was taking these photographs i tried to make sure that i was taking them at unusual angles like what brandt does also i tried to make sure that the images have a lot of detail as brandts work does (bricks and wood). When i capture the the detain in the images it lets me use the HDR tool in Photoshop to increase the detail and then turn it black and white to give the mood that Brandts work captures.
The images that have been edited into black and white but without the touch of Bill Brandt
When i was editing these images i had to have a photograph from Bill Brandt next to photoshop so i can edit these images in the best way and make sure that Brandts style is transferred to my edits but because these photographs from the middle of the editing process i will be able to take out the weak links and I've already done this and these are the photographs that will get the last part of the edits and be displayed.

T he pictures from the bricked Built buildings that would be edited in the style of Bill Brandt
When I went out and took these photographs I stayed in this area because if I went away from this area the architecture would change too much and my work wouldn't be able to link up and would look a mess. I made sure that i went before the sun set but late enough that the light was enough to take photos without boosting my cameras ISO above 3200 because the images that would come out would be too grainy to get the full illusion of Bill Brandt inspired work. When I was taking the photos I made sure that the building that i was photographing was built of old brick and had a lot of detail and debris that would be able to make a Bill Brandt inspired image.
My favourite from this gallery
These Photographs edited in the style of Bill Brandt
When i was editing these images i made sure to keep in a lot of the detail when turning them black and white (e.g turning the blue and cyan down so the sky was not just white) I also made sure that i added a touch of grain into the images as Bill Brandt did when he took his images, this make sure that the images could be notified by people who knew his style but also when Brandt took his photos cameras weren't as advanced as they are today so grain was inevitable.

My favourites from my experiment
Was I happy with the experiment
Yes and no. I likes the way the bricks came out and the colours made a really good contrast with one another. And in some instances I was able to make the clouds come out more rendered and detailed. The reason I didn't really like the experiment is because when I used the HDR tool it over saturated the image and then i had to turn it down which made things come out looking awkward such as the vignette will come out looking pixelated and the shy would look too grainy.
My own work that was been inspired by David Hockney
Why did I choose this
photographer
I chose this photographer because his work dips into the theme of Unexpected perspectives because his montage work often leaves the viewer looking at it for multiple minutes while they try to find out any hidden meaning of what the photograph is about.

My favourite from these edits
Why there is not a lot of my own work on this photographer
To create a David Hockney inspired photograph is that a lot of planing and time goes into it, so the work wont be a lot of work but the quality of the work will be a lot higher than normal photographer because, David Hockney's style is so unique when making work that has been inspired by him I have to make sure the work resembles his work and doesn't just look like a normal photo montage.
Experimenting with presentation techniques
Polaroid presentation
A trademark for a specially treated, transparent plastic capable of polarizing light passing through it, used in glare-reducing optical devices. . A trademark for a camera and film that produce instant photographs.
I know this is what most people think of when they hear he work "Polaroid" they think about the instant cameras released around the 80s but i want to experiment with the way that the images are presented on the polaroid plastic.
For example
What I want to achieve
I want to do a few polaroid edits in the styles of the photographers I've already done work then compare them to see what photographers work best in that presentation style because the normal gallery and full frame images can get dull and predictable.

Project conclusion
Overall I think this project was successful because, the photographers I picked i was able to produce my own work that was clearly influenced by the photographers that inspired me. All of the photographers link to the question I chose (Unexpected perspectives).
Ben Heine
That part of my project shows at how the world can look different if everything was black and white on a piece of paper. This part is less about taking photos at unusual angles but more political as it shows the world would be a lot more simple if it was on a piece of paper.
I think this part of my project was successful as I was able to produce a good quantity and quality work. I was also able to experiment with new photoshop techniques and improve my Ben Heine inspired work.
David Hockney
This part of my project was about taking normal looking images and making them a montage where the viewer can still see what the original picture was but gives each image a few minutes of viewing time. This links to the project as the images have to have a long look before the viewer understands whats going on.
I think this part of my project was successful because, I was able to produce work that is clearly inspired by David Hockney, the work also came out at a good quality and a lot of work was produced even when the edits take a long time to get done and at a good quality.
Bill Brandt
This part of the project was about the perspectives of a image through the way it is edited. I think I done this successfully as all the images convey the moody feel that Brandts style has.
I think this part of my project turned out really well. I was able to get the mood and the feeling of a Bill Brandt picture and add my own spin on it using my own photographs and and adding my own adding style and still getting the result that I wanted.
Alexander Kravchenko's
This part of the project was about taking photos from unusual angles and turning them black and white to create a edit that needs a second look at.
I think this part of my project was successful but theres a thing thats wrong in all the photos. I took them when the sky was too dark so when I was editing the images I Couldn't lighten the sky up so the images came out ok, If I took them during the day the edits would have come out at a better standard.

what lens did I use
I used the kit lense for the camera that goes from 18mm up to 50mm
How did I use the lens and the camera
Street Photography
When taking the photographs in the streets I make sure not to have my aperture and my iso to high as all of my images would have been over exposed. I also made sure my shutter speed was extremely fast a it was 1/1000 of a second, this made sure that my photographs were sharp and not out of focus. When I took the photographs at night for a part of my project I had my shutter speed pretty slow at a half a second this made sure that a lot of light entered the camera so my iso didn't have to go higher than 3200 because my images would come out too grainy.
Portrait photography
I when I was taking my portrait shots I made sure my shutter speed was very fast (1/1000 of a second) and I also made sure my iso wasn't boosted as the image would come out too over exposed. I also kept the mm on the lens around 45-50 as I was able to fill the frame with my focal point and also capture the detail in the back ground and not give the image a Bokeh as the detail would come in useful for the editing process.
