Triptychs

Look at Me

the idea of this photo was to take three photos of the same thing then piece it together to make one whole photo so it makes it seem complete. I believe I successfully created a triptych photo because, it's not just one photo, the pictures match and it has the same overall theme. Some elements of art that I used in this photo are lines, colour and texture. I used texture to draw the viewers eyes to my subject and I used the lines on the car to lead the viewers eyes to my main subject, I also used the colour of her red hair to add emphasis to the photo. some principles of design I used were emphasis and unity. I placed my main subject in the middle to add a sense of unity to make the picture seem full and complete. finally the last thing I used was rules of photography. I used fill the frame and symmetry to make the photo seem balanced and to add that finishing touch that makes it a triptych.

The Necessities of a Cowgirl

For this triptych photo, I wanted it to be Halloween themed since it was Halloween. So I was looking around at peoples costumes and I found three different people with accessories that a cowgirl would wear. I believe I have successfully created another triptych photo because its three different photos combined to make one. some elements of art that I used in this collage were texture, value, lines and shape. I used the texture from the sparkles on the hat to the fluff on the pants to add interest to my photos. I used value in all three of the photos to add drama to the photo and make this cowgirl seem like she was in a stand off. I used lines in the clothing and boots. Finally I used a man made shape of a star on the hat to create a sense of space.

some principles of design that I used were unity which made the photo seem whole. I also used the pattern and repetition of the clothes and boots to add interest to the photo. For rules of photography I used symmetry and pattern to add balance and create a sense of calmness as well as keeping this photo fun and interesting.

Pondering On the Stairs

for this triptych photo I wanted it to be a little different then my last two photo collages so I took three photos that seem complete on there own but they all have the common factor of being taken in the same place with the same model. I definitely believe that this is a triptych photo because they all have something in common. The elements of art that I used for these photos were the lines of the stairs to direct the eye to my subject. I also used space so the photo didn't seem busy and kept the viewer focused on my subject and I used the texture of the grass to add interest. For principles of design I used emphasis in the way her shadow creates a dark image in a light composition. this photo collage also shows the pattern and repetition of the stairs. For rules of photography I used leading lines and depth in the collage if you think of all the photos as one.
