PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS PHOTOGRAPHY EXPLAINED

I am a huge fan of creativity. Doing things differently, and following my own random ideas is something that I have always loved doing. My name is Kaden, and this is some of my content as a visual designer. I started my design path as an illustrator. It’s so much fun for me when I learn new ways to put together unique and creative pieces that look amazing. I just love creating powerful pieces that tell a story and inspire other creatives. After I was recently brought into a whole new world of photography, I have been searching for ways to combine the two creative worlds of illustrations and photo taking. For my latest project, I have put together several photo illustrations where I have combined my love for drawing with photography.

Photo illustrations allow you to work with photography the same as you would a painting. You can use whatever medium necessary to capture the exact photo you are looking for. When it comes to photo illustrations photography, editing means everything. The quality of work you are going for all depends on the time you are willing to put in. Below, I have included some of my best work from the latest photo illustrations photography project.

BEST OF MIXED MEDIA PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS

For my “mixed media” styled photo illustrations, I used a third-party software other than Adobe Photoshop to edit my photography. I used the illustration app known as Procreate to assemble all of the photos and illustrate edits in ways that I thought were creative. I really wanted the photos and illustrations to blend well together so as to not make it look too messy.

The theme that I was aiming for was pain. The goal was not to make my pieces feel depressing but to convey actual emotions that are easy to understand and relate to. I was inspired most by the natural forms of the body and how vulnerable it makes the image feel. I wanted the messages to be easily interpreted and relatable while still conveying a powerful message.

BEST OF ADVANCED EDITS PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS

For my “advanced edits photo illustrations, I got to work with an amazing team to align models, wardrobes, photoshoots, and editing techniques in order to capture the best looks. I am grateful to credit Aubrey Christiansen, Caryn Esplin, and Tiffany Savage for all of their incredible help. As the photo editor of the team, I took the previously captured photographs and applied edits to them to make them look more like paintings.

Once we have completed this project, these images will all be used in a new BYU – Idaho course titled, Women in the Scriptures. Each of these photos will be used to represent women of the scriptures who have set amazing examples and played important roles in the founding of the church. Here are some of my top edits:

PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS PHOTOGRAPHY PRINT MOCKUP

A goal of mine for this photo illustrations photography project was to print three of my mixed media pieces that I could put on display.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS PHOTOGRAPHY PROPOSAL

There was a lot of planning that took place in the making of these photo illustrations. I ended up spending over 40 hours capturing and editing all 13 pieces. My original plan was to create 20 advanced edits and 04 mixed-media edits within the time frame of 30-40 hours. The plan was later adjusted to 09 advanced edits due to the scheduling of the Women in the Scriptures course. Overall, I met the goal of creating awesome work and learning more about photo illustration photography.
