Maya Lev's Pictorialist and Grand Tour Pictures

Figure 1: kit

 This is a picture of the photography kit I used during the process of taking pictures. I had brought three different plastic bags (red, white, and black) to get different colored pictures. Also the plastic bags would create the vignetted look. I had also used the blue water bottle as a way to create a blue picture. There is an empty transparent water bottle that I used when taking pictures as well. It helped create a blurry look but there was also some drops of water left in the bottle. Therefore it also created an image as if it were raining. There is a empty soup can that was washed out and cut out on both ends. My last item was a tissue that was also used to create a vignetted look.

Figure 2: View of Chatelherault Hunting Lodge

This picture was taken from the front path. I had used the can (see figure 1) and also changed the settings on my camera to sepia. The cans ridged edges mixed with stone of the building is a contrast of texture. Also the dark cloud at the top of the picture brings out the dark contrast as well.

Figure 3: Entrance to the Garden

This picture was taken through the white gate in the camera mode sepia. The edges of the white gate frame the side of the picture which causes the eye to go directly to the center of the picture. The center of the picture is a white door which is brought out by the contrast of the brown around it.

Figure 4: Garden of Chatelherault 

This picture was taken by the mode sepia and also by breathing on the camera lens. The use of the swirly bushes and the back of the Chatelherault creates a different architectural look. The fog blurred the back part of the building so its not too over powering. The garden is the center of the photo, it has less fog and it also draws the eye in by the shape of the swirls.

Figure 5: River in New Lanark

This picture was taken with the tissue (see figure 1). The tissue created the vignetted look of the river, trees, and he building. The picture is a contrast of color; the water looks refreshing, the trees are bright, and the building brings the old architectural feeling to the landscape.
