This is the image that I have created.
It is in the style of Mario Bellusi. 

Futurism Edit



This is the photography by Mario Bellusi that I have










The images I have created are in the style of Mario Bellusi. I really liked this artist and loved the style of the photograph that I have chosen. The image is in a futuristic style as it shows movement and the fast pace of the streets, which are shown in the picture. I edited my picture in Photoshop. I used layers to create an effect that could be seen to be similar to double exposure. I did this by layering picture that I had taken and lowering the opacity on each layer to create the effect. I took all of my photos on a Canon 60D and use the camera on the manual setting so that I had more control. In total my futurist recreation is made of 7 different layers. I then put my picture in black and white and I made sure that the image has a strong contrast due to this being similar to the photograph I was using as inspiration. The visible architecture in it as this is one of the strong things that can be seen amongst the chaos of the original photograph. My edit is different to that of the original as it is not as busy meaning that you can see the individual more in the picture rather than having the rush of lots of different people. Even though the architecture that can be seen in the picture is quite traditional, the loneliness of the single person walking can help to relate the photograph to modern times, as there is a crowd of people visible in the background however the figure that I have photographed is away from the crowd. The photography contrasts with current situation in the city, as people in a busy city aren't seen as individual but just a part of the crowd. My image however has shadows of both the person who is walking but also shown on the left hand side which is creating a dark, angular cast on the floor. The use of black and white helps to keep the image in the style of the original image by Mario Bellusi. The strong shadows and contrasts help to keep in the futuristic style.
