Trip to city centre- View Points/Abstract Photoshoot
Paul Gonella
Paul gonella started taking pictures when he went on a school trip to Russia as a young teenager in 1987, he was 14 and a long held dream of visiting the still communist USSR was coming true and I wanted to document it. From that point he wanted to document his life back home too. He started taking pictures of his friends skateboarding in the subsequent years he moved from one cheap compact camera to the next until a trip to San Francisco in 1997 where he became frustrated at the lack of control over the camera, he wanted to set my own shutter speed, exposure, depth of field and focus.
Upon return he bought his first SLR and despite the occasional period of neglect he has not stopped shooting film since. Although not principally the subject of his photography, skateboarding and it’s inherent eye for forgotten or ignored locations and views of the everyday world definitely has a strong undercurrent in his own personal perspective, the quiet corners, as is time and it’s effects on the physical world.

Vera Lutter
Inspired by the city's presence, light, and architecture, Lutter began experimenting with photography. In order to capture an immediate and direct imprint of her experience, Lutter decided to turn the room in which she lived into a large pinhole camera—thereby transforming the space that contained her personal experience into the apparatus that would capture an image of it. Through a simple pinhole instead of an optically carved lens, the outside world flooded the interior of the room and projected an inverted image onto the opposite wall. Exposing directly onto wall-size sheets of photographic paper, the artist achieved large-scale black and white images. Maintaining her concept of directness and least possible alteration, Lutter decided to retain the negative image and refrain from multiplication or reproduction.
New York remains Vera Lutter's home since 1993 and a returning subject in her work, yet she soon started working internationally employing the technique of the camera obscura, or pinhole camera, in projects around the world where she photographically rendered architecture, shipyards, airports, and abandoned factories, focusing on industrial sites that pertain to transportation and fabrication.

Tessellation
Conluding my work-Chosen final edits.
I have picked these three pictures as my finals as they all cover a board spectrum of ways to use Photoshop.
Image one has not only been tessellated but also part of it has the black and white effect another part has no effect and the last has had add saturation to add vibrancy.
Image 2 has been fashioned into the style of Vera Lutter the way I had to do it was I made it inverted then used saturation to darker it then changed it into black and white to give this effect.
Image 3 has two different effects in place the stone 'pillar' has had the black and white effect put on it while the surrounding stones have had the hue saturation and lighting changed.
All of my original pictures have been taking in the style to Paul Gonella when it comes to view points I used him as my inspiration while taking pictures.
