Jan Von Hollben
During this project, we had to take pictures of people from a higher point of view, to make it look like you are taking a regular picture. For my pictures, I took the bench in the HUB, and flipped it on its back, then had Connor sit, and talk on his phone. For the other image, I put a chair on its side, and had Sara sit in it, like she was sitting in a chair regularly. I cropped just the objects of the picture, to get rid of the negative space. I also had to rotate one of the 90˚CCW as it was taken sideways.
Jan von Holleben was born in 1977, in Cologne; Germany. At 13 years old, Jan started to follow after his fathers carrer (photographer), and started to experiment with cameras. After pursuing studies in teaching children with disabilities, he moved to London, and got a degree in Photography, and began his career in photographing the scenes in, and around London.
This was probably one of my favorites, the Tarzan looking scene is surprisingly realistic, however like the New York picture, I think the background would have looked better if he used a jungle type of scene.

I chose this photo from Jan van Hollebens portfolio, because I think this one looks real. The creativity for the items used is really interesting.
I chose this photo, because I really like the movie King Kong; the only thing I don't like is; I wish he had more of a background, that looked like New York, or a city, It would probably be quite difficult, considering the technique he uses to create these, but it would add tons more to the picture.
