My Experience

I decided to use aprons because i like to cook. I got the inspiration by walking past the foods room and i remembered that i could camouflage into the aprons. I asked Mrs. Huffer and she said yes, go ahead. At first i took a test shot of the aprons by itself. Then I took a picture of me standing beside the aprons. The final shot was taken by Veronika and it was a picture of me tied up with aprons with all of the  aprons camouflaging. I hung the neck piece onto the hook so i would blend in. The part that I let stick out was my boots. Overall this was a good experience because I learned how to camouflage into plain sight.

I decided to use a basket of footballs because I like to play sports and I thought footballs would be good to camouflage with. I got the inspiration by walking past the gym and thinking that their would be many things to camouflage with in the gym equiptment room. I asked Mrs. Smith and she said sure and unlocked the door. At first i took a test shot of the basket. Then I took a picture of Gillian inside the basket. The final shot was taken by myself and it was a picture of Gillian squished in the basket with the footballs covering her. The part of Gillian sticking out is her hair. Overall i liked taking these pictures and my idea because it turned out the way i wanted it too.

I decided to use an empty garbage can because I thought it would be easy to fit into. I got the inspiration by walking upstairs and i found an empty garbage can. At first i got into the garbage can, which was a lot harder to do than i thought. Then I took a test shot of the garbage can alone. Then Rachael took the second test shot of me inside the garbage can. The final shot was taken by Rachael, while Gillian placed the paper on me to camoflauge. The part of myslef sticking out is my boots. Overall i did not like this experience as much as the other two because it hurt to fit into the garbage can.

Critique Of Yvonne Bayer

I chose this picture as one of my examples because this looks very difficult to do. I like how it looks like they are just stacked up boxes in a pile and it does not look like they are attached to a human.

I chose this picture because I like how it turned out. It looks like it was very difficult to get into the sheets and make it look like you were the foam. I like how she put herself by the foam pieces because it looks like it is put together.

I chose this picture because it is one of my favorite ones that Yvonne took. I liked it because the bags are placed carefully and blend in to look realistic. One thing that I would change about this photo is I would lay the person in the bag basket so it look like they are blending in.

Yvonne is a very original photographer. I like how in her photos she tries to make every costume realistic. I like her photography because it looks well done and the way she poses makes the picture blend and all come together. Her creativity has influenced me with my photos and has given me many ideas.
