Unit 6 - 3D Photography

Lenticular printing is a technology where a lenticular lenses are used to create printed images that simulate depth and it also has the ability to change the looks or the entirety of the image when viewed from different angles. I was given the task to produce a lenticular image using two image that were different. I decided to use two images that I had taken of a friend in different positions from my portraiture project. I first printed the two images off making sure that the images were exactly the same size. I then measured and cut the two images so that they were in strips.      Next, I stuck the images down onto a piece of A4 paper making sure there was a small equal gap between each image so that there was room for the folding. Once I had stuck each strip down, I folded the A4 paper in the same fashion if you were making a paper fan. I then looked at the lenticular image from different angles and I could see my two images.  S...

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.
