Unit 6 - 3D Photography

For my digital final outcome, I decided to produce a GIF/ Wigglegram out of 2 or more still images to create what seems a stereoscopic 3D animated image. My first attempt at creating a stereoscopic 3D animated image did not go so well, because I took 3 images of a subject with three different camera in different positions around the subject to capture each angle, so when turned into a looping GIF it would make it seem like it was animated to simulate a 3D look. However, this was no the case. The first thing that made it unsuccessful was the fact that I used two of my fellow classmates to push the shutter release button at the same time, but person took the shot at separate times including me. These shots can be seen below. As you can also see, the exposures were not the same for each image and the getting the subject to jump was not a great idea as it is very hard to capture this image at the same time from three different camera. Below is my unsuccessful a...

I decided to produce a 3D transparent photo using 3 different Polaroid images that were  layered on top of each other.  I started off by loading the black and white film into my Polaroid 1000 Land Camera. I then positioned the subject of the image so that they were in the frame of the image. Next, I placed my Polaroid camera on top of a cardboard tube as I did not have an accessible tripod that would fit my camera. Next, I got the subject to look in three different directions. The first was looking straight at the camera. The second was looking left. The last was looking right. In the image below you can also see the film ejecting out of the camera. I had to be extra careful that I shielded this from light as soon as it came out so that the photograph did not overexpose and ruin the photo. Once I has taken all three photos It was then a waiting game, about 30 minutes to be exact in order for the photos to fully develop. Below are the 3 develop...

My very first experimental piece of 3D work was 'relief'. This work was produced within a group, each doing different jobs for the final outcome of the 'relief'. It was produced by finding three images online, in my case it was a portrait of Obama, a skull and a brain. These were then loaded into photoshop layering them on top of each other making sure that each layer is the same size. These three layers were then individually printed and mounted onto sticky back foam board. Very carefully cut out small shapes from the brain which was the bottom layer and then the same for the second layer which was the skull cutting a small area carefully so that the layer beneath (brain) could be seen. The top layer was the portrait of Obama, this was precisely mounted on top of the other two layers so that it would appear to the v iewing audiences of the relief as if they are looking through Obama to his brain. However, certain things did not go so well such as the cutting of the fo...

During lesson today I set myself the task to complete my lenticular work. I planned to use two portrait images. However an issue raised when I first printed the work it did not print correctly and kept saying error on the paper, so I decided to print the images from photoshop which worked. I then measured lines across the images of 2cm each and then cut them out and stuck them onto paper and bent the paper to create a lenticular effect.

Analog 3D photography is a form of photography that uses a continuously changing recording medium such as   chemical processes to produce images that give the perception of 3D. This captures images by exposing the photographic film to light as opposed to digitally via a sensor. Technique 1: Liquid Light Liquid Photographic Emulsion or best known as Liquid Light is a silver based sensitiser which is designed for applying onto any surface, exposing with an enlarger and processing in the darkroom chemistry. The emulsion that is found within liquid light is pretty much the same emulsion that can be found within light sensitive photographic paper. Liquid light can be applied to a large array of 2D and 3D surfaces. The good thing about using liquid light is that you are able to freely produce images on the materials of your liking.  https://www.silverprint.co.uk/liquid-light-se1-emulsion/  https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/4714002...

Digital 3D photography is a form of photography in which a camera is used to produce images that give the illusion of 3D or take multiple exposures and digital manipulation. This captures images digitally as opposed to capturing images with photographic film. Technique 1: Stereoscopic/Stereoscopy photography This is the technique of creating or augmenting the illusion of depth within an image through stereopsis. Any stereoscopic image is called a stereogram. When the stereogram was first invented, it was commonly referred to as a pair of images which could only be seen through a stereoscope. Most stereoscopic techniques show two separate images, one on the left and on the right eye of the viewer of the image. The two images which are two-dimensional are combined in the brain which gives the illusion and perception of 3D depth to the image.  Stereoscopic 3D photography is not easy. You firstly have to choose a subject to capture. How...
