Self Portrait Series

AlTheKiller

I am currently in a Perspective Drawing class and with each new perspective we learn, we are suppose to take pictures of that current perspective that show it in real life. We are currently learning how to draw 6-point and 8-point (fish eye) and I can not draw for squat. So the only time I can really show off in this class is when we do the picture assignments. While everyone will be showing up with pictures taken with their smart phones using a fish eye app, I decided to have some fun with it. My girlfriends aunt has this reflective gazing globe she let me borrow to do a self portrait series in 6 point-perspective. This is just for fun for the most part but figured you guys might enjoy it as well. Please feel free to critique if you wish

FWIW Al, I think the concept and shots are pretty cool. So much so that I'm going to get one of those mirror ball thingy's and try some for myself!

I'm reminded of M.C. Escher's self portrait:

So, did you ever invite someone back to your place to see your "Escher's?

These are very interesting. I really like the last one with the school building and the bystander.

I had a friend call me "Escher" after seeing these and had completely forgotten about that drawing haha.

The bystander is my lady tagging along. She wanted to help out and snagged this pic on her phone



The lake one didnt come out exactly how I was hoping but walking like a mile on a closed road in 100* temp sucked so I got what I could. I like the town hall the best out of these three

For the final project in this class I'm suppose to photograph each perspective (1,2,3 and 6 point) while using an editorial/fashion approach. Should be interesting. Ive also been thinking about some fun ways to use this in a water situation. Take it to the lake or something and see if it floats and if so what all I could do with it.

Also if youre going to try and find one of these they are called "Gazing Globes" I couldnt find any locally for sale but luckily my ladies aunt had this one in her garden she let me borrow.
