The photo I have chosen is of the back of a basketball hoop and the side view of the baseball field. I chose this photograph for my sculpture because it represents the design and sluggishness of our community. I want to help spread the look of how our school is treated and looked upon by everyone. The one thing I like most about the end result of my photo sculpture is the 3D part of the vibrance of the photo and the details if pushes forward to the view of eye.
The first step I took was cutting out my foreground and middleground elements: the front poles is my foreground and the basketball court along with the poles is my middleground. Then, I aligned my background photo (the whole photo- no cutting) with the cardstock material and used a ruler to cut out the outline of the photograph. I taped the back of the photo to the material using double-sided tape. Next, I cut out smalls, medium, and large pieces of the stock material using an exacto knife that will correspond with each part of my foreground and middleground. I used the double-sided tape to tape the material to the back of the photo parts. After cutting and taping all material pieces, I put the middleground part right on top of the background, making sure that each part correspond with each other- the basketball hoop on top of the basketball hoop and the poles on the poles. Then I do the same thing to the foreground cut-out, but place it right on top of the middleground, making sure all parts of the photograph correspond together. As a final result, I have made my photo sculpture.

This photo is of the style of Ansel Adams because it's in a black and white perspective. His photos are either landscape or portrait. My photograph is both landscape and portrait because it is of nature, but a close up of nature; one aspect of nature. This photo is of Brooke Shaden's style of photography. She always has nature somewhere in the background and here I have added nature to the background of the photo. She also seems to make her photos majestic and unnatural. With my photo, I added my leaf to the topping of the mountain, and unnatural leaves to the bottom of the photo. In the style of Trey Ratcliff I have taken my photos of a leaf with different exposures. Then I have smoothed out my image and made the colors more vibrant- just like Ratcliff. With HDR photography, I used a tripod to keep the photos consistent and to easily merge them in Photoshop. Ben Von Wong's photography style is very difficult to copy and manipulate because it's so unique and original. In my photograph, I have picked out an ocean blue background, then cropped out a leaf from another photo and made them look like they were floating in the a ocean. There are different shades of the leaves: an old look and a fresh look. David Hockney is very known for his photo collages. Like Hockney, I have taken separate pictures of my view and put them together in one whole photo. Also, I made the color of the leaf stand out and look more vibrant. When manipulating the style of Olivia Bee, I put light on my object and sort of added a vintage look to it. Her photographs have detail and action; I added the details of the leaf and the web on the leaf, though it doesn't show much- or any- action at all. When manipulating the style of Jerry Uelsmann, you also have to manipulate the photo and viewers eyes. In my photograph, I have reflected a photo and decreased the opacity to show the background through the leaves and each other when they cross paths. Like Uelsmann, I made my photograph in black and white filter but not too dark in the filter. Alice Gao is known for her still life photography, which consists of furniture, make-up, or any life objects. It was very difficult trying to manipulate her style. In the end, I have taken a photo of just the leaf and the ground and lightened the color, not to make it vibrant but to add natural light to it. Yousef Karsh is talented at his dark portraits. I have taken a lone portrait of the leaf and made it a darker shade in black and white. I have also made sure to have details of the leaf, and blur out the background. Sandy Skoglund's photographs are full of vibrant colors- though not many colors. In my photograph, I made the colors vibrant but I have also made sure to make the color of the leaf stand out of the other leaves- especially when it's buried in the smaller and different colored leaves.
