This is the first of many ideas I have in mind that are meant to present this concept. It is a joy for me to finally be actualizing this Art Photography exercise after having conceptualized it for at least four years now! I was INSPIRED to embark on this journey in composition and creativity as a means to broaden my ability to view an original image differently, and in many different ways. My hopes are that the photographers that visit my blog will consider integrating this idea for themselves. I would suspect this creative concept is not new, but I've not seen it or previously done it myself, so here is my version...
THE IMAGE WITHIN:
A visual enigma of many photographic compositions extracted from the whole.
The Original Image:
When one views a whole image in segments based solely on colors, lines, light, clarity or lack thereof, it is possible to create a number of abstract photographic images, no matter what the subject. What I did was to photograph a natural scene (original image above) then dissect it by horizontally and vertically cropping areas that I felt were visually dynamic, concerning myself more with the abstractions and not clarity. (the vertical crops are represented in the images below that have the white line separating two images)
The Image Within:
This exercise could also be done at the time you were photographing a subject instead of in post-processing - which could pose to be even more challenging as a creative exercise - but, I think creating many images from one original image in post-processing can afford us more time to look and consider composition. Either way it is an interesting way to challenge your creativity. ENJOY!
I am drawn to Nature and the myriad of colors it presents to us. The vivid colors in the abstracted images seem even more brilliant to me, and I have a number of favorites that are mostly of the horizontal crop. Overall, I am pleased with my results and think that the original image, and the many born from it, are simply delicious!
