Carl Warner
New Photography project.
Objective: Imitate a photographers work as best you can, which inspires you.
This is our first photography assignment, to imitate a photographers work as best you can. I chose Carl Warners work which is really inspiring and creative. He works on large scale models, created out of food products, to make landscapes or images. What he can do with food is amazing, and really hard once you get into it. The lighting has to be just right to get the proper shadows and cutting the vegetables or fruit to the desired effect is painstakingly long.
After working for two days I was able to build a mini model of a hill with houses and a little path which wound up towards them. Having a good camera here would help loads too, I only had my iPhone to take the photos but it worked. Then once your angle is perfect and you are happy with your images pop it into photoshop and work some magic there with brushes, effects, and lighting to create an image in balance and hold everything. My photoshop part of the process was a little bit cheating since Carl Warner does not do this, he makes everything, from background to special lighting effect to get the end result he wants.
