My GIF self-portrait

And here it is. My GIF self-portrait.

Creating this animated self-portrait was a challenge but I am very happy about the result. Check out my previous posts for background knowledge.

 

GIF Self-Portrait Background Knowledge

Today I finished my GIF self-portrait and soon I will publish it on my blog.

Before I do this, I wanted to share my experiences of the process with you.

Working on my Gif Self-Portrait

Since before Easter break I am constantly developing my ideas around the task to create a GIF self-portrait.

Finally, I made up my mind about the structure of my final GIF and how it should look like. It will consist of different layers of which each represents a different part of my identity. The screen shot shows how my After Effects Composition currently looks like.

First Self-Portrait Gif Experiments

 

How would I want to portrait myself in an animated GIF? This is the question I asked myself over and over again during the last couple of weeks.

Cornwall’s Forests

For me forests are one of the most fascinating environments. Cornwall can offer such an amazing range of different forests.

Come and join me on a tour through enchanted places and moments I captured within different forests of Cornwall.

I took most of these pictures while hiking on Mount Edgecumbe.

Places in Plymouth

Last weekend I borrowed a Hasselblad camera from the Media Hub at my university and started walking through Plymouth. I walked past a lot of familiar places but also discovered new ones. My favourite area is usually the seaside but this time I tried to mainly focus on interesting architectural spaces in Plymouth. Again, you can see that I like to capture symmetry.

Plymouth is such an interesting place even though it is not always pretty. But if you ask me, there is a certain aspect of aesthetic in all these places. Which is probably the reason for me to take pictures of them.

 

Portrait Series Tereza

 

This portrait shooting happened very spontaneously. Tereza needed photographs for her artist portfolio and I was happy to help her out with that.

Together we went through the city of Plymouth and finally most of the photos were shot at the sea where Plymouth has its most beautiful places to discover.
I love the contrast in these pictures. It makes her stand out from the simple but interesting backgrounds.

In summer 2016 I attended a module called “auditory synesthesia” and created a song made of only one word.

The aim was to create a sound piece for a specific outfit in a fashion show hosted by Art School ‘Burg Giebichenstein’ in Halle (Saale).
