Chuck Close
1. Chuck Close
Since the 1960s, Chuck Close has focused on faces and portraits, using paint,Polaroids
and daguerreotype, a process of photographing introduced in 1839. A studio
daguerreotype usually requires a long exposure, often more than two minutes. Close and
daguerreotype artisan Jerry Spagnoli made the process instant, "...by having a billion
foot-candles go off all at once.". They achieved the unmistakeable effect of
daguerreotypy, the pitch blacks contrasted by the silvery shine given off by the faces
Close photographs.
2. To create a style similar to Chuck Close's "Lorna" jacquard tapestry image I took the photograph with a
55-200mm zoom lens as to create a softer touch. I also used a lamp to the left of the person in the image
which created the lighter side of the face. In Photoshop I decreased the saturation completely to make
the image black and white and I cropped it so that the focus is primarily the neck and face (like Close's).
To finish I added 4 tilt-shift blurs to blur out the edges of the image, progressively blurring stronger from
the face outwards which can also be seen in "Lorna".
