Projected Distortion
Distorted (clipped) wav image projected on my screaming face.
Assignment
This week, we're going to use various techniques to make our photos look "distorted" - whereas we normally want our photos to be as tack sharp as possible (where needed), this week we will experiment with adding distortion to make our photos more interesting, abstract, and maybe weird! You could shoot through items that distort the light and/or focus, such as fabric or a prism. You can rub vaseline on your lens (filter) to achieve a fun, blurry abstract shot. You can intentionally overexpose to distort your image with excess light, or simply blur your focus to the point of abstraction. The options are endless and it's up to you to make your frame as distorted as you like! (blurred, out of focus, vaseline, prism, mirrors, overexposed, PS'd, etc..) Remember, a wide angle lens (or fisheye) will also create a form of distortion that could be a lot of fun to play with. Mirrors can distort reality in all kinds of ways. And finally, the more adventurous among us could try their hand at more advanced techniques like "Free Lensing"
