My Ink and bleach trail combined with my photography

Here is a photograph taken from my floral photo shoot. I used the 'rule of thirds' to capture this image, and I really like the outcome of it.

I then put the photograph into Adobe Photoshop and alter the colour using colour blending and gradient tools.

Here is the bleach and ink trail I created. I like the symmetry in the piece, and wanted to further edit it and merge it with photographs I had taken.

I then added the bleach and ink trail to Adobe Photoshop. Combining the bleach and ink trail with the photography. I repeated the image four times, and laid the bleach and ink trail on top of the photography. Once it was on top I used the opacity tool and the colour blending tool, to edit the image. The outcome of this was negative. With the image below I use a less harsher effect to edit this using only opacity so the bleach and ink trails merge into the photography. I really like the outcome of this, and I think I will use this in one of my jars, as a wallpaper. Creating wall paper for jar like the wall paper that was created by artist Juilette Joseph which I discovered when researching jar art; http://ifeakinroyejegraphics.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/using-jars-to-present-work.html

An inspired floral head dress

Drew Barrymore

Nasty Gal

Lana Del Rey

I really like floral patterns and prints, and as Summer comes near prints have come back in fashion. After watching the video to the song "Born To Die" by American singer-song writer Lana Del Rey, I was inspired to create something as dream-like as the video. This head dress will be used in future Lana Del Rey inspired photo shoots, which relates to one of the jars I will be creating. Lana Del Rey was one of my main inspirations for creating a floral head dress as I believe this related to the dreams element of my final idea. The concept of the music video was thought up by Lana Del Rey and the outcome is quite beautiful. Yoann Lemoine is the director behind the video which has had many positive comments from publications such as Billboard and Rolling Stone. Yoann Lemoine is a musician himself, but most known for his creation of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" video and Drake featuring Rhianna's "Take Care" video. The video itself is like art, and each shot works as a photograph. In the future photo shoot I will do with the floral head dress I created I would like to create a photography which is quite beautiful.

Creating the head dresses

I created two head dresses made with artificial flowers, head bands, beads and super glue. I like the outcome of the piece, and will use this in a future photo shoot.
