Photographic techniques
I love to collect at beer coasters. Every time I visit a new pub and I have a chance to take a coaster, I do it. They can be compared as art and for me is it a memory of places I have visit. The coaster below is from the Pub Patty Murphy’s, which I visited the first night I was out here in Rotterdam. Every coaster I collect has a specific memory and a story.
Same coasters, photographed in different angels and different styles properties.
I used my IPhone 4s camera and its own modification program to be able to take the ten different pictures. From picture one to ten have I selected these properties; Retro, transfer, Process, Mono (b&w), Noir (b&w), Krom, original, Tonad, faded, contrast. I also put an auto corrector on every picture, which corrected colors and sharpness. I use different kind of top views when I photographed the coasters, with purpose to show their shapes and differentness. These different picture properties shows different feelings with the pictures and I tried to choose “right” property for the specific pictures, which hopefully would give the best feeling, expression and effect. For example, coaster number 4 has a “Mono (b&w)” effect, which purpose is to create sharpness in the pictures and make a strong contrast.
Here is also one photo session there there I have shoot different pictures of beer coasters. In this session have I tried to pick different kind of coasters and chose on purpose picture properties, which may create a good effect for the specific coasters. If you look at coaster number 6, has it a chrome effect added on, which increase the color contrasts.
