This document provides information about an exam prep project involving photographing ink in water. It includes 4 photographs by different artists that inspired the creator's project. It summarizes the techniques used by artist Alberto Seveso, who pioneered photographing ink in large volumes of water in a fish tank. The creator was inspired by Seveso's clean, colorful images and plans to experiment with different ink mixtures as well as use post-processing techniques like selective coloring. A video example of the ink in water technique is also provided.

4 Photographs that inspired me 1.Alberto Servstro This photograph has inspired me for my project because it is a very well composed and a very clean photograph, the colors are fairly bland and do not make it too in your face and a relaxing almost surreal image that most people would find interesting to work out how it was taken, another reason why it is a very relaxing image is because the background is a beige color which is not expected but works very well because it is not too harsh to look at and it almost brings out the colors in the ink more because of the contrast it creates.

2.Gio This photograph is not as well taken as Alberto’s photograph however it is does have a more bold color and more detail around the top compared to Alberto’s which have a very tight crop, this photograph has inspired me because it gives me a view of what to expect from my initial photographs and I can see how to further develop my photographs for example I would get rid of some of the drips at the bottom of the image in post processing, this is because if you have less droplets it makes them stand out more and makes the photograph more interesting and visually pleasing.

3.Ruslan Khaskov This is a very different image taken using the same technique however this artist has let the water and the ink and taken with an extreme macro lens to get every bubble in focus, this photograph has a lot of bold colors because of the different colors of ink have been use, this photograph has inspired me to use macro lens and wait a while before taking the photographs this is because you could get some interesting macro shots and make the photograph taking more efficient since you would get more different photographs out of one batch of ink which would save a lot of time and would mean less ink wasted.

4.Aaron Sayce This photographs uses a different mixture ratio of ink to water and also uses the same colours of ink that have been mixed developing the image further making a softer image because the streaks of ink are finer and look almost like little threads of silk, this photograph has inspired me to experiment with different mixtures to get thicker and thinner lines of ink so there would be contrast in images so they wouldn’t look the same also using different colours of ink at the same time bringing out more contrast in the images

Artist analysis 1 Artist: Linden Gledhill About the artist/ photograph: once it began to vibrate the ink was photographed in very high speed jumping up and down to capture the colorful formations. It is incredible to believe these formations are not solid sculptures but paint caught in split second of time before it falls into a pool again. The campaign, created by creative studio Dentsu London, features specially commissioned shots by photographer and biochemist Linden Gledhill. He said in an interview: 'Two years ago I would never have imagined that messing around with paint splashing from a small speaker would have resulted in such an exceptional experience.' The images are part of a campaign to promote Canon's Pixma Ink Printer brand. How the photographs were created: Acrylic paint is placed over a speaker, when the speaker is turned on it causes the paint to jump up and down because of the sound waves, the photograph is taken while the paint is in the air, this process also causes the paint to mix together therefore the pictures come out with a mixture of paint in the air in a variety of colours. Pictured below is how the photographs were created with the paint on the speaker.

Personal Response: These sets of photographs are very visually pleasing this is because they combine vibrant colours with high speed photography creating an almost surreal paint splash, this is also very good example of ingenuity by the photographer because of the way a speaker is used to launch the paint upwards. The set of photographs are all very different form each other, this is because the unexpected nature of the paint splash which all matters on the frequency the speaker is being played at causing different patterns of paint. Inspiration: These photographs have inspired me to use a macro lens to capture acrylic paint being launched by the speaker at various frequencies causing different patterns in the paint, this will be done by placing a black film on top of a speaker.

Artist analysis 2 – Alberto Seveso Alberto Seveso is an Italian artist specializing in illustration, graphic design and photography. Born in Milan, Seveso currently lives and works as a freelance artist from his hometown of Portoscuso, Sardinia, Italy. Alberto’s artistic passion grew from an early fascination with skateboard deck graphics and album artwork for metal bands. This led to him being one of the pioneering artists and developed the ink in water idea further then others had before him experimenting with different mixtures to create the smoothest images possible, he does not rely on post processing as his photographs are taken on such a large scale in a 3000 litre fish tank with litres of ink used to be able to get the largest amount of detail possible it is a very well composed and a very clean photograph, the colours are fairly bland and do not make it too in your face and a relaxing almost surreal image that most people would find interesting to work out how it was taken, another reason why it is a very relaxing image is because the background is a beige color which is not expected but works very well because it is not too harsh to look at and it almost brings out the colors in the ink because of the contrast it bings out.
Example of Seveto’s photography
His photographs have inspired me in my exam prep because of the colour and the detail of the images as they are fairly simple to take however getting the mixture right is very tough as there are many ways to do this form of image mainly a mixture involving cooking oil at the ratio of 75:25 however experimenting with this yields different results of the photographs such as some have more colour fringing and more intricate compared to others which are fairly bold colours that are very contrasting but lack detail, this is what made me choose this artist because there was room to experiment with his style of images so they do not look the same. His photographs are also critically acclaimed in the world as the artist has his own clothing brand and has worked for various recording artists for their album covers because of his specialisation in the photography of ink in water therefore I know that his photographs are visually pleasing to other people as well as myself. The reason why I chose Seveso’s photographs as inspiration was because there was no set technique on how to recreate them so I would not be copying the artist idea but making it myself with my own style with my own colors and ink. Also my exam prep was focused around how you can experiment with certain materials in water for example oil and ink as this artist has uses, I also plan to use more post processing compared to Seveso this is because you can take this images furner if you use selective coloring in photoshop, I also chose this project because it has room to expand for example one of my final ideas is to make a short video of the ink in the water to music which means expanding on the artist idea.
Example 2
How the images were created • Steps to take the images – A clear fish tank is required and it has to have a flat surface so the ink is not diffracted by the glass and a correct mixture of oil and water is needed so the ink does not disperse too quickly, a pipette is needed and a flash kit to have enough lighting in the photograph and a backlight so the detail comes out of the photograph in the way Sevesto took his photographs the technique is done well.
