Contemporary Fine Art Portfolio

I know this portfolio has been due for a while. I spent some of the summer finishing it up, and have slowly been working on final touches (in between a number of other non-photography summer projects).

I thought that being it has already aired on my see.me/ profile, it ought to have a little acknowledgment on its own.

To summarize the concept behind the series, I wanted to pull still life, and the idea of movement together. Adding a contemporary flare of color, to a more traditional/formal image of a flower, by overlaying blurred night scenes from behind the dash of the vehicle. I wanted to take the images a step beyond the beauty achieved through the compositional visual aesthetic, and technically sound image, to a piece that challenges the idea of what one would normally expect.

The Abstract Portfolio

Hi Friends!

I've created a competitive portfolio through www.see.me, they allow the artist to promote their entire portfolio, in a contest setting, while providing opportunities to a larger range of exposure. They run contests that offer grants, and many more opportunities. The thing is, the more support a person gains, the more likely they are to be featured, or chosen for future grants. So I'm asking for your support.

I've chosen to use my abstract portfolio, as I believe that this grouping has stretched my artistic abilities the most, while it also achieved the greatest progress through the process over the semester.

If you're a friend, or fan of my work, please consider choosing to support me through www.see.me, and help me promote my work. It's quick and easy. All you need to do is click the link to my portfolio http://ccarrascosa.see.me/, hit the support link, and log in with facebook. People who choose to support me, will be entered in to a chance to win a free vacation! Win, win!

If you're interested in learning more about the portfolio presented, feel free to leave me feedback, and I'll be more than happy to respond. 

Movement

Ladies and gentleman, here's an image created this last week in class...  

I've been experimenting with the influence of music on imagery, however this one was created while listening to an audio lecture.... hmmm. 

Now, moving onto prep for my final assignment. I'll be producing a portfolio of 8-10 images within the next couple weeks. 

Shades of Blue

Genre: Abstract

It's been an interesting semester, pursuing to create only abstract photography in my Fine Art Photography class. I'm enjoying the direction that things are moving.

Here are 3 of my best images:
