- avoid using glasses when shooting in the studio; the glare on the glasses does not translate well when combining two photos together
- try to keep the two photos of the figure the same size
- shoot more of the head and less body of the model
- do not overlap the position of the figure in the two chosen photos
While I feel that I should keep the size of the model the same in both photographs, it does not bother me that much in this weaving. I feel the figure if more visible than my last one, and that the two figures are more recognizable. I do not like how the figures overlap. Before weaving the images together I thought that they would not overlap as much as they did. I will have to make the two positions more drastic before doing the next photo weaving.
I would like to also expand my weaving techniques by trying out more of Isabel M. Martinez's technique. I feel that using her technique will allow me to combine two architecture and landscape images together to more effectively convey a juxtaposition of design of buildings and land over time.
Next week I am traveling to St. Louis, Missouri, Nashville, Tennessee and Topeka, Kansas for spring break. I am excited to photograph different landscapes so I can compare them to the photos I have taken here in Manhattan, Kansas. I will also be seeing family and friends, so I will have the opportunity to photograph more head shots and different positions of friends in order to create more photo weavings. I would like to photograph multiple people so I can combine two different people in the same weaving. By shooting different landscapes and people I will be able to reveal differences that would not be seen if the images were simply placed next to each other.
