Montage it! Poster

The focus of this exhibition is on the composition of photo-montages. I believe this is a key aspect of the process. Composition involves the integration of people, activities, context and building to give a space more meaning.

This flipbook communicates movement through my model, shown here as an exhibition space. I have used photoshop to integrate textures, silhouettes and details like paintings into my original sketches. These focus the eye and allow a smoother transition through the spaces. Gradient shading gives depth to each individual image so that the movement through the gallery spaces is more smooth due to the 3D perspective images. 

Workshop 3 - Montage it!

This daytime photomontage details how the model could interact in a particular context. This image shows the model as a waterfront exhibition space. The layering of people into this photomontage communicates how they use use the spaces in and around the building. The images of people used are slightly faded so that the emphasis remains on the model and its immediate context. I have layered concrete, brick and wood over a photograph of my model to add texture and definition to the image. The tree and pot plant are used, along with the images of the people, to give scale to the image. 

This dusk photomontage displays multiple photos of my model integrated into the desert context. I have varied the scale of the model to give depth and add drama. The larger of the models at the centre focuses the viewers attention, before exploring the remaining elements and context of the photomontage. I have used textures, light and people  with images of desert cities at night to create a highly atmospheric photomontage. Although the model is shown at a small scale, images of people have been layered on to give purpose and function to the  spaces.
