Urban Zoom is a series of abstract long-exposure photos from big cities all over the world. These beautiful images were captured by German photographer Jakob Wagner. Jakob lives in Duesseldorf, where he works as a freelance photographer, image editor, and photo assistant. He’s very blessed to have a job that allows him to visit different countries around the world. When not working on an assignment, Wagner devotes his time to personal photography projects. Some of his previous clients include Audi, Wired, Jim Beam, Emirater, and many more. We hope you’ll enjoy his beautiful photos!

Photography Part 2.

Week 4.

This week at the session we looked at how lighting can make the same object look completely different, just by changing the direction and quantity of light.

So for the assignment this week I had to choose an object and by changing the direction of light, see how different the object could look.

This helped me to understand how the positioning of light can accentuate the best parts of an object and I will now take this into consideration when taking other photos.

Photography Part 2.

Week 3.

I was on holiday for this week, so I don’t have any images that were taken during the session at college, but whilst away I decided to practice doing some more movement shots. I think I still need some practice with this but it was definitely fun experimenting.

“Love Hurts was created based on an assignment to make an activity book. I thought it would be more interesting to make a sort of activity kit instead. From there, I came up with the concept of Love Hurts: A first aid kit for a broken heart. Initially, I knew that I did not want to make a kit of sadness and wanted to approach the product with a sense of humor. Love Hurts contains all of the essentials for going through a rough breakup such as dark chocolate, vodka, an excellent mix CD, and, if all else fails, tissues. All of the products come neatly packaged in a compact kit. A promo video was also made to show the products in use. “

Melanie Chernock is a graphic designer/animator/recent graduate based in New York. her goal is to create work that is communicative, humorous, and surprising. in the past, she has worked for vice magazine and chermayeff & geismar.

inspirationfeed:

Sketching holds an important role in the design process. Even if you’re not good at it, you should still force yourself to sit down and allow you ideas to flow through your pencil. Why? Because you shouldn’t invest massive amounts of time in Photoshop or Illustrator before you have a solid understanding of the desired results. By brainstorming on paper, basic concepts will soon turn into refined/detailed sketches. Seeing the end will help you begin.

Photography Part 2.

Week 2.

This week we were looking at getting movement into our images and because the nights are lighter at the moment, we actually left the classroom and put this into practice!! So these are my first attempts at movement within an image.

Watch this space for more as its the assignment for this week!

To do my photography assignment this week I decided to go to Merrions Wood, a little wood not too far from my house. It was pretty incredible in my opinion with so many little twists and turns and so many interesting things to photograph. It was like a treasure trove and I felt like an explorer climbing my way through trees and bushes finding a multitude of different things to photograph.

My previous post shows the work I used for the assignment, however I thought I’d share a few more of the photos I took that day.

Photography Part Two.

Week 1.

I recently started back at college for the second level of my photography course. For this week we had a quiz to see how much we could remember from the previous course, after having 4 weeks off, (I did quite well) and then talked about the assignment for the week.

This was to take three different pictures showing:

1) Leading lines

2) Rule of thirds

3) Breaking the rule of thirds.

I quite enjoyed doing this and think I did quite a good job. Here’s my three.

A few photographs from a recent trip to the arboretum in my hometown. It was such a sunny day that I really wanted to go out and take advantage of the lovely weather and found some really picturesque things to take photos of.

I really liked not having specific ideas of what I was going to shoot, but just sort of stumbling across interesting things and finding the beauty in them. It made me realise just how much I enjoy photography and that I should go for more walks with my camera.

Fuck! I’m in my twenties! Everyone has that moment—the realization that adulthood has arrived, like a runaway train, and there’s no getting out of its way. In attempt to express the contradictions and anxieties that come with being over-educated, minimally employed, mostly single, and on your own, Emma Koenig has composed this book full of journal entries about being in her 20’s. This book is hysterical and a source of comfort for when you’re feeling like the world is falling apart around you, (basically every time you can’t figure out what the hell you’re doing with your major). I recommend everyone get a copy of this book, it’s less than nine bucks.

Jose Guizar is a Mexican graphic designer living in New York City. He strives to create clever and playful messages that allow his viewers to communicate. Like every designer, Jose has restless eyes that never stop observing the intricate shapes of reality. His “Windows of New York” project is a weekly illustrated fix for an obsession that has increasingly grown in him since arriving to NYC. The simplicity of this project allows you to absorb the disparity of different window designs spread across the city.
