Dan Eldon Collage

Our most recent project was  creating and shooting a collage, inspired by the collages of photojournalist Dan Eldon. Eldon had a subtle way of telling a story through a collage, and the message very often related to the real problems he encountered in his travels. The hardest part of this series was the actual shooting and editing of the collage; attempting to find a way to take away the "papery" look to it. I was happy with the result, though more comprehensive editing options may have helped.

Graphic Notation Grids

This series is a continuation of our graphic notation work, but in grid format. I only used dual-grids here, as I wanted to allow for more detail in each portion of the collage.

Graphic Notation

Our most recent assignment was Graphic Notation, one of the more challenging series I've faced at Drew. Graphic Notation is the representation of music through something visual, in our case, photos. I focused on more abstract shots, looking for rhythm and variation. Some shots required heavy editing to really bring out the parts of the shot I wanted to be focused on, while others only required quick simple changes.
