3D Photography

All these photographs were taken around my hometown, because its the most common surroundings I experience. After producing the first photograph with the 3D effect on it, I decided to produce more, to further develop on the idea. I had noticed that the 3D effect is used little within art, however, its main user is the film industry, especially Hollywood producers. The 3D effect presents my vision in an unique manner, because it captures the lack of depth perspective, due to multiple images of the same object and subject. 

These photos challenge the way people view the world, they present the world in a different manner, from the overly colourful to the bizarre and crazy. I want people to understand the struggles of being unable to locate objects and subjects. To always question if its really that close or really that far. 

The process of creating each photograph is present within my sketchbook, with annotations. 

This was the first photograph that I decided to turn into a 3D image. The two usual cyan and red colours were used to create the effect. I decided not to experiment with changing the placement, so the two different coloured photos reminded to be 10 spaces away from each other.











I later developed the previous piece, by changing the colour selection to red and dark blue. When these colours combined, they seemed to have turned the majority of the photo purple, which is expected with the use of the colour wheel.

Within my sketchbook, I decided to turn the photograph upside down, to further distort the image and challenge the ordinary.






This photograph is of a telephone line, I chose this high angle camera shot, because of the lines that meet into the centre, I thought this would benefit the 3D effect. I believe that it was successful. However, it doesn't support the lack of depth perspective as strong as other, due to little context. 

This photograph was produced differently, with the intention of creating movement. This was achieved through multiple images being overlapped and set to become transparent. I find the most hardest thing to see are moving objects, this led to myself almost being unable to drive a car because of this vision impairment. 










I developed on the previous piece by applying colour to the photograph, this seemed to make it more distorted. 














I tired producing a similar one to the previous piece, however, I decided to have the car from the side instead of from the front. This seemed to emphasis movement more. Yet, more by the fact that the spacing between the photos had been increased. 









I wanted to make a really over exaggerated photograph that made pin pointing the location of the car impossible. The different colour further support this, by making distinct layers and overlaps. 

I decided that a person riding a bike, would be suitable to this effect as it is a another example of a moving object. I struggled for most of my life to ride a bike, however, its only recently I've worked my way around a lack of balance in order for myself to ride on. I believe this was further supported by myself learning to drive a car. 















This is a long camera shot. The detail seems to be far less making the different coloured photos seem more separated, than more detailed photos.

I found complex city areas, made the 3D effect turn more into a distorted mess of confusion. However, this might also be due to the colours selected. 





































I experimented with living beings as well as objects, to further understand the 3D effect. However, I will never be able to truly see the 3D effect work. 

I wanted to try creating the 3D effect without the need of Photoshop, so I decided that printing a different coloured photograph onto acetate and then overlaying it, could be a good equivalent. The acetate seems to be successful in creating the 3D effect, however, the details of the photos are lost through the printing process, because the acetate can't produce the same amount of detail as photo paper does.
