Placing my model into a landscape


Following on from my last blog post, I was tasked to place my models into 3 environments of my choosing. 

This first image is definitely my favourite. I think while designing this I was really craving a warm holiday! I created this landscape using my imagination and collaging in 
Photoshop. My model is acting as a multi-level diving structure set in a very tropical jungle location. I really enjoy creating visualisations like this on Photoshop, it is one of my favourite elements of design, seeing the vision in my head come to life!

This second collage is imagining my model as a modern sandcastle ornament in a fish tank. I think it works well at this small scale and placing it in the background with vibrant fish in the foreground creates more depth. 

Lastly I placed my model in a countryside wedding venue, where the model acts as a chapel type building where this couple are soon to be married. I think this is the weakest of my three collages, based on composition and the execution of the tree walkways I tried to create down both sides. 
If I were to do this task again I would include different angles of my models, as all three of these collages use an image of my model from the same angle.

  This water feature really captured my interest as I have never seen a water feature that appears so fog-like. It really creates a surreal atmosphere.  “For three seasons of the year the nozzles emit a dematerializing mist while in winter steam from the university heating plant creates a fog around the fountain. ”   (PWP, n.d.) This therefore makes the space able to be used throughout the seasons. In the summer months the mist will have a cooling effect on anyone that sits close by and in the winter the steam from the heating plant will warm the surrounding area very slightly. Whenever I think to add a water feature to one of my designs, I always choose a generic fountain or rill etc. This design uses the surrounding landscape to create a very functional while also eery and mysterious feature. This is something I need to consider, that not every water feature needs to look the same and that the entire feel of a place can be altered by granite rocks and a mist attach...

Landscape photography

The above photos are from a trip to Monte Negro This was in Wales Stourhead A crop field behind my house The Azores Photography isn't something I'm particularly passionate about, however I do take lots of landscape based photos when I feel they would be something I would love to draw at a later date. I know it's best to draw from life but when I don't have time I like to snap a picture to refer to at a later date. The above are a collection of my favourites!
