Painting With Light Assignment - The Sounds of Silence

Painting With Light

The Sounds of Silence

My goal for this photograph was to reveal to the viewer my passion for playing classical guitar.

Since there is no aural sense to this picture, I painted with light, individual eighth notes in order to

provide emotional depth and add sound visually through the use of various colors that I painted with.

You can almost hear me playing the guitar. The biggest challenges that I experienced in the creation

of these photos was: 1) avoiding subject blur (20 to 30 second shutter speed) and 2) obtaining proper

color temperature frontal lighting.

The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly - Performance Task - Stirling Kim Moss

By: Stirling Kim Moss Living On The 🅦🅘🅛🅓🅔 Side The Good The “good me” is the one that strives to be the best that I can in all aspects of my life, especially during these last few crucial years of high school that will determine my future. Unlike others, I consider doing homework a good thing as it is necessary in order to accomplish my long term goals. So, here I am studying hard in order to achieve that elusive 100% on my next test! I wanted this photo to appear as though it was taken with a film camera, since I’m considered more of an old fashioned person. The blur/feathering effect that I produced around the edges was to lead the viewer's attention to the center of the picture. When people look at this, I want them to feel nostalgic, like you’re looking into a memory from the past. The Bad The “bad me” is the one that likes to live on the edge - at the lunatic fringes once in awhile. When you work hard at school, you need s...

Multiple Exposures Assignment

By: Stirling Kim Moss Let The Big Dog Eat! Camera Settings Shutter Speed: 1/500 second Focal Length: 24 mm F-stop: F-5.6 ISO: 1000 The movie, Happy Gilmore, a comedic golf film, inspired me to produce this multiple exposure photo. Golf is also my favourite sport, and I take part in several tournaments throughout the summer break, I am also a member of the Oakville Trafalgar High School golf team. I wanted the viewer to imagine me running up to the ball and striking it with a mighty blow. In order to accomplish this, I made sure to position myself closer to the camera in each succeeding picture. I also wanted it to seem as though the ball's path was headed straight for the camera's lens, in order to shock the viewer.

Alternative Process #1: Gel Medium Transfer - Stirling Kim Moss

By: Stirling Kim Moss Gel Medium Transfer Alternative Process Nostalgia The photo that I chose was a picture that I took over this past summer following a round of golf at the 9th best golf course in the world - Cabot Cliffs in Inverness, Nova Scotia. This is one of my favorite photos as it captures a spectacular sunset and also brings back some fond memories of my 2018 summer holiday. Creating this photo on a wooden plank turned out surprisingly well. It is surprising that by using such a few number of materials and steps, one can create such a nice piece of art.
