Sven Pfrommer

Sven Pfrommer is a Berlin based contemporary photographer and visual artist working worldwide. He collaborates with lots if different art galleries and he works with a range of material. He is also an award winning photographer and artist, he also really likes to travel and observe lots of different things that are happening in the world. His work also mainly focus on the images he has taken whilst travelling and this is were he gets most of his inspiration from. Sven Pfrommer uses lots of different shapes that are very simple and we can all recognize. This then makes his images really because he is able to take some simple shapes and make these amazing and interesting images. Also the camera the Sven Pfrommer uses most of the time is a digital camera and he finds that in his work the painting and drawing are really important.

The reason why I have selected this artist is because I really like the fact that he prints out his images and put ink on top of them making his images look more a like painting and more interesting images. Another reason why I have selected this artist is because I really like that all the different shapes are very simple and not complex and then this makes the images for fun and interesting to look at. 

Another reason why I have chosen the artist Sven Pfrommer is because I find it very interesting that for the past few years he has travelled to lots of different countries for example he has also travelled across the south east of Asia and he has managed to find a lot of inspiring things. I also like the fact that  in his images there is a variety of different colours and they all kind of pop out at you just like in Daniella Zalcman's work. His images as look really abstract as he uses ink to got over his photos and it makes it look more interesting. 

The meaning behind all of his work is to show how all the different cities and landscapes should be filled with colour and not really dark. You can also see that through his images he is bringing light and convincing people that the landscapes might look really dark and grey but it can be filled with colour.

I really like the fact that in his images he plays with lots of different colours which can be really appalling to the human eye. This colours that blend together creates an aesthetic atmosphere. I also really like the fact that in his images he makes some really boring and dull images and bring some light and fun into it by adding these different colours. In his images you are able to see how the wideness of the buildings which has had a huge impact on his identity.

His work has really inspired me to take some amazing images, and I will make sure to use some of the mixed media techniques. I am really excited to see how all of my images turn out.

I am extremely impressed with how my photo-shoot has turned out as I have managed to take a lot of successful images that have been inspired by Seven Pfrommer's work. To capture these images I have walked around taking images of really interesting building that I have walked past. I have also positioned the camera in lots of different angles and positions. The main challenge of this shoot was the weather and how dark it was outside as you would not be able to see the image properly. One reason why I have been inspired by this artist is because I really like all the different colours and shapes and I hope that my images turn out like that. For next time I will make sure that when I take my images the buildings are in the middle of the photo and not always to the side.

Double exposure

I am quite pleased with how my developments have turned out as I have managed to take a lot of successful images. Firstly what I have done to make these images is that I have fist rolled some ink on the table and taken pictures of the ink, I have then double exposed the ink images with my photos and it has created this amazing image that has been inspired by Sven Pfrommer and I have done this using photoshop. The reason why I find Sven work really interesting is because it shows us that everything we look at is filled with colour which I find extremely fascinating. I also really like that my images are really chaotic and there is a lot of different things going on.

I am truly amazed with how my further developments have turned out as they look really fascinating. Firstly, what I have done to create these images is I have first gotten three seperate and I have extended the canvas as copied and pasted the other two images onto the first one then placed them in the right position creating these amazing images. The reason why I have done this is so I can see the different compositions that I can do with these images. I have also done this so you can see lots of different images at once as each image looks fascinating.

I am really pleased with how my second photo-shoot has turned out as I have managed to take a lot of amazing images and I have been inspired by the photographer Sven Pfrommer. For this photo-shoot I have made sure that I have positioned the camera in lots of different angles so these images are in different perspectives. I have really enjoyed taking these photos as I was able to see all the different buildings and I also really like that there is a lot of different colours. For next time I will make sure that some of my images are not that blurry for next time.

Developments

Annotations

I am really delighted with how my developments have turned out as my images have turned out really interesting. Firstly what I have done is take images of lots of different inks with different colours and placed them on newspapers, I have than double exposed the ink images with my photos and the outcomes have been really fascinating as I really like that there is a lot of colours and it makes the images look like it is popping out at you. After I have decreased the saturation than looked up then I went on colour lookup and found changed it to crisp warm. In my images I also really like all the different trees as they make my images look really enchanting and entertaining to look at.

Further developments

I am impressed with how my photo-shoot has turned out as I have managed to take a lot of really interesting and colourful images. Firstly I have gotten two images that I have already developed and double exposed them together making my images look really chaotic and more entertaining and I have created these images using the media photo-shop. I have chosen this technique because I really like all of the different shapes and architecture that I have created when making my images. To improve my work for next time I will try to make sure that the images are not too harsh.

I have created some Gifs so my work look more interesting and I am really impressed with how my developments have turned out. For the first GIF I have changed the hue setting on photoshop and I have started form -70 and I continued to go up to +70. After I have done this I went on the website gifmaker.me and uploaded my images there and created this amazing GIF. Then I slowed down the Gif so you will be able to see it change colours and I am really pleased with how it has turned out
