what makes a 3d photograph?

a picture that has or appears to have height, width and depth is three-dimensional, A picture that has height and width but no depth is two-dimensional. To full understand the concept of 3D photography, it is important to know how it happens. The simples way to define 3d photography is "it is a form of photography that captures and displays two offset images that are a little different from each other, so much so that they produce 3d images". it is pretty much like putting two images together in a distance similar to that of your eyes.

You can create 3d images in different ways using a variety of methods. For majority of photographers, the most ideal way is to take photos using any digital camera and then use a 3d image software for achieving the three-dimensional effect.

How is it done?

here are a few steps you need to know to follow to take 3d photos

1. get your DSLR

2. prepare to take shots from different angles. however make sure you do not do this against or anything similarly flat. This will defeat the purpose

3. make sure your main subject is in the center and properly positioned, then take the photo.

4. the next step is for you to move your camera or tripod carefully to around two to 2.5 inches to the left and once your main subject is in the center then take a shot of it.  the repeat the same process on the right side.

5. make sure you cover all angles - up, left, right, down.

6. transfer you files to the computer

7. make your choice of software to create your 3d image.

you can find a link to how i did it in one of my other blog posts

How will i analyse my work?

unless you have seen my final write ps for my digital and analogue 3d projects, when it came to analysing my work, after each day, or after each part of my projects i wrote up what i did, like for example my first analogue 3d project, as it was not successful, i wrote up what went wrong and how i could improve from next time, then i accomplished my second attempt and wrote about that including what went well, what did not, etc. so that is how i will analyse my work.

digital 3d

Digital 3d the technique for this photo is called 3d mesh, it is a technique that is done in photoshop by converting one or 2 layers & greyscale. link to instructions on how to do it -  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/creating-3d-objects-animations-photoshop.html i would use this technique in my work, to give one of my photos a 3d look, this being to make it stand out more & to give it a trippy affect

Order & Chaos Research

For me in order to do my Order & Chaos photography project, i had to do some pre-collected research so then i could get on & do my project, & create my own inspired interpretation of the photography concept/genre. For my research, i studied work done by photographers, via online & by using books, who's work is part on the order & chaos genre. For my research, i researched photographers such as Guido Mocafico, Andreas Gursky & Sebastiao Salgado. Unfortunately, even though i found the research to help me in some way, that being the photographers work, i was not inspired by the work, so from that i decided to do the subject of Order & Chaos in general, but i do find the artists' work interesting. (below you can find said research) Guido Mocafico Guido Mocafico is a contemporary master of still life photographer, born in Switzerland, who's images have been published in numerous magazines over the years, including, for example, Men's Vog...
