Dreams of Flying

My inspiration for this picture was halloween, the creep witch flying on her broom. To create the creepy part of the picture i pt down a white sheet. Doing that made the red from the broom seem brighter. I also grabbed some black and dark blue clothes and put them at the base of the photo making it look like dark hills. I liked this photo the way it was so i just cropped it and rotated it.
What inspired me for this photo was the night, the city building and the moon in the sky. For the buildings i took a canvas, a picture frame and the back of a mirror. The airplane in the sky was just a final touch to complete the photo. Again with this one i liked it the way it was so i just cropped it and left it like that.
what inspired me for this photo was seeing two people play frisbee. I made it look like two people passing the frisbee back and fourth. i like this one the best because you can see the looks on their faces, they look happy.

Jan von Holleben photo #3

My interpretation of this image is that it is a skate park. The kids lying down are the ramps and the kids on the bikes are "jumping" them. I like how he used dark blues and greys for the ramps and bright red and white for the bikers. He has a great imagination and an eye for weird yet creative photographs.

This photo is taken to make it look like they are actually flying through the air.Obviously they aren't. Again i really enjoy the bright colours of this image. And how he used a blue sheet as the ocean and orange tissue paper for the sand.

Jan von Holleben photo #1

I really like how it shows how nature and technology working together on this plant. It is almost like the plant is powering the light bulb at the end. I also really like the brightness of the image. This effect of the brightness is probably because he chose a white background.

Jan von Holleben was born in 1977 in Cologne, Germany. He lived most of his life in an alternative connection with the development of his photography and his parents influence. When he was around our age he took the same career path as his father by experimenting with a camera, with “magic tricks”. Doing this he developed his own photographic skills and imagination. Using his friends and family and later using his technique in commercial settings. He started pursuing studies in teaching children with disabilities in Freiburg at the Pädagogische Hochshule. He later moved to London and earned a degree in the Theory and at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design he earned a degree in Theory and History of Photography. He became submerged in the London photography scene. Here he worked as a picture editor, art director and photographic director. His work has been exhibited all around the world and has been published throughout the world.
