Assignment 2

In this assignment, you are to approach color photographic imagery by taking and or creating images that affect you in contrasting ways: attraction, repulsion.
1. You are to use images that follow this line of inquiry: attraction/repulsion
2. From the images that you make, choose two that are most attractive to you and the two that are the most repulsive to you.
3. Especially concentrate on the color aspects of these sensations. Use color to convey attraction and repulsion (not just a photograph of an attractive person, flower, car, etc....)
The paradox is that the more repulsive an image gets, the more it tends to start looking more, well, attractive....
Artists to look at : Gregory Crewdson, Cindy Sherman, Richard Misrach, and Jan Saudek.
Play with your ability to manipulate and control color. Ultimately, you will use color to dictate what it is your image is about. You must make use of adjustment layers in your 4 images. The images that do not utilize a colorcast must be color balanced. During the critique you should be able to explain why you have chosen to make these images and what reaction/reading you are looking for from viewers.
You will turn in four images.
