Merging Techniques

Here I have merged Tim's B&W style with action sequence photography, this is a photo I took for another project. It's something I'm interested in experimenting with. I like the rebellious feel in his photo's which is something i'm going to try and recreate. I may get my friend to skate or ride around the grafton, or try a safer approach...

My Photo's In The Style Of Tim Barber

In these photos I tried to re-create Tim's style, The bombers shoot was shot in Black & White and added grain to it, which mad it seem more street/urban, because some of Tim's photo's had some grain to them. This is just a quick experiment, I'm not too keen on the grain as I like my photo's looking sharp. I took this pictures with a timer as I didn't have time to plan an actual shoot, so these are me. To add the grain I added noise through Photoshop.

I removed the grain and put two of the photo's side by side, such as Tim Barber does.

Tim Barber

I am looking at the photographer Tim Barber, I'm especially concentrating on a shoot he did for Nike called Destroyers, which is centered around a varsity jacket, which all athletes/models are wearing. The entire shoot is in Black&White which creates a gritty, urban approach which is what i would like to recreate in my shoots, maybe not all in Black&White. I would also combine it with other techniques such as Sequence photography. I would also like to include more of the tricks involved in the sport, I'll include Bmx, Skateboarding, Freerunning and Breakdancing.
