Double Exposure

I used this effect by using two photos I've taken in photoshop and edited the levels to make the landscape photo blend into the darker silhouette.i live this piece as it got a great depth as if your looking into the distance and so is the silhouette so makes it very dramatic. 

In this photo I like the reflection of the pinky sky in the water which blends into blue giving a calm relaxed mood, and the trees make it seem very natural with the calm water also. To improve this i could experiment with other silhouettes to make it more dramatic and change how they place there arms and face.

My photography inspired by Ansel Adams

I used Ansels photo to inspire me and took it using the horizon straight through the middle like he did breaking the rule of thirds. I like the how the reflection of the trees stand out adding drama to the photo. I also made it monochromatic again to make it more dramatic and add high contrast, over all I like the final outcome because it's different and eye catching.

Artist Research and Analysis 

Lewis Baltz 

Part of the 1970 new art minimal pieces, his early work such as this were seen as empty stages as they were abandoned work sites. His work gave the idea that the landscape is treated by its owners and by builders as mere material waiting to be shaped. He also published Nevada in 1978 and Park City in 1980 which hold photos of the long- suffering American Landscape scarred by new habitation. 

More artists in this era-

This was also famous photography in the same era as Baltz's work, by Charles Sheeler who used urban architecture to inspire his work and industrial facilities. He made compositions by overlapping two or more photographic negatives of the same subject and then transferring the resulting, synthesized image to canvas.

Ansel Adams Emulation Plan

Emulation Plan 

I've copied one of my favourite pieces Ansels work, and looking at the composition the horizon goes straight through the middle which breaks the rule of thirds, but works in this case. Symmetry is used here adding drama with the added high contrast making it dynamic and eye catching. there are lots of levels with the different types of trees and sloping mountains in the background giving composition and also form. The depth is far also with the fast river with the election making it look very real.
