This is the image I started with and decided to use mixed media and hand-embroider on top a chaotic web of stitches.  

This worked well because the colours are eye catching and contrasting and way the stitch is almost alive and concealing her face. This gives the chaos effect and the order is the photos beneath. I also like how the focal point is the bright hazel eye which is surrounded by a vivid red.  

I also like how this one conceals the face in sections and the layered threads give depth to the photo, I like how the face seems trapped and encases in the weaves of embroidery.

Pin-hole Camera 

Overall this worked fairly well as you can see the lake and outline of trees in the landscape then different tones of colours from the reflection of the sky in the water and trees. Some sections have not exposed as well as other which may mean o didn't expose it for long enough.

Slit-Scan Photography 

This technique is a photographic and cinematographic process where a moveable slide, this has been cut making a slit, it is then inserted between the camera and the subject to be photographed. 

 Final Image

I created this effect using a photography app called twist where I experimented with different scenes and modes to give the distorted, wave like shapes that links with chais as it looks as if everything is being pulled into the centre and the photo has come alive. It also mirrors whats happening in the water with the droplet ripple effect as i used the mode where the slit moved from the centre out.

Emulation 4

When i was researching chaos and order photography I came across the artist Gerhard Richter, this artist takes pictures of commercially processed images such as images whilst on holiday, in his studio, or walk in the park which are all either duplicates or ‘album rejects’.  He then uses oil based paint made up of various colours and smears the paint across the photo using a plastic blade. I linked ths with my theme of choas and order as it shows a expressive tecnique and the mixing of two medias to create all unique pieces of splattered smears of paint.

Emulation 3 
   This photo is by Kirsty Michelle will be my final emulation which
reflects my chaos theme with the overgrown forest and the intertwining branches, the figure in the distance also shows order with the well-dressed figure which gives a more serious and sole feel.

Final image 

Overall the composition of the photograph isn't quite the same as the original but the way the trees and the environment almost swallow up the figure gives the same effect as the original and the contrasting black and white gives a sinister feel also.

Emulation 2 

The second emulation I'm going to try is by the photographer Louis Lander Deacon who uses colourful thrown dust to create a smash of morphing colours static in a shot giving mayhem and drama to a somewhat calm enviroment behind. I love the kaleidoscope of colours he creates and the way each photo is almost frozen in time, and also how parts of the face and body is covered which adds an eree mood.  

Experiment with colourful dust

Final image 

Overall this worked successful with the way the two halves contrast so vividly which mirrors my chaos and order theme with the splashes of exciting colour for chaos and the bare face symbolising the order.

Emulation 1 

For my first emulation I've decided to look at Brno Del Zou with her  photo sculptures, I love this collection he's made because each one joins together really effectively the way he positioned each different angle. I think it works well with my theme also because the layered images gives a distorted chaotic theme then on the other each individual photo is ordered. I will use the same technique and set out each photo in a similar way he has in the photo I choose. 

Final Piece

Overtall I like the whole composition and the way I laid it out as similarly as I could, I used photoshop to create the layered effect which was easier to get the right scale of each photo. I then made it monochrome to emulate the phtographers effect and found some exposed more then others as some photos faced the light then some against. 

  

Here i tried to play with the darkness and it changed the background colour also which wasn't quite right.

AV and TV 

This photo I've taken uses the AV mode which allows you to change the aperture whilst the camera changes the shutter speed. The effect overall gives a shallow depth of field, then shows all the finer detail of the flower and the delicate rain drops. I like the vibrant contrasting yellow and greens and like how it emphasis's on the flower then the background is blurred.

Focus Points 

In this photo I set the focus point to the centre so that this would be in focus then around the outside it would be blurred, overall it work fairly well as the detail in the middle is shown to develop this further i will try other points of focus and different settings.

HDR High Dynamic Range 

This was one of my first attempts of HDR which overall I think makes the whole thing look quite artificial and too exaggerated which is what its supposed to do. But on the other hand i do like the finer detail that comes out when you do this effect as it gives in depth texture which sometimes a camera doesn't show to its full.

Chaos & Order 

Kirsty Mitchell

This photo by Kirsty Mitchell reflects my chaos theme with the overgrown forest and the intertwining branches, the figure in the distance also shows order with the well dressed figure which gives a more serious and sole feel. 

Gursky 

This famous photo called Rhein links with my theme order by the way its made up of uniformed lines and a very simple scenery, it also has no distinct focus point which again shows order.  

Gerhard Richter

This artist uses an interest effect in this piece which looks like smuggled paint breaking up the photo which could show chaos with the running paint, the the buildings in the background can also show order how the are uniformed together created structure.
