Learn pop photography, it's the new trend.


So Pop Photography is a new trend huh? Tell this to Andy....

Andy Worhol use photos, then trasfer the images to screen prints so he could display pop culture from his time....hmmmm, not so new after all....

I'm wonder then, so is Product Photography considered Pop Photography? Hmmm, it's a photo, is a product that is popular.....I guess we have been doing this for a long time how can it be new?

Perhaps Andy hit on the spot with the Campbell's Soup can. It was a product and very popular, However he painted that one. Still.....So was "Elvis" as the same as Brintney Spears (how ever you spell her name) today...nothing is new....we are reinventing the wheel again.

I'm not busting your bubble Ennil...the whole new trendy idea of Pop Photography.....and it's true meanings.

So if we are going back to the Pop Art culture again, here is my tribute to Andy.



What bubble? I have no bubble, I live in a mud pie.

:P I think I should have probably used bubble gum pop photography, but in my world we call Worhol's style pop art, not pop photography.

As for the trend thing, I don't think you understand the concept of trends, you lucky thing. Trend isn't reinventing anything, it's making it famous again and letting it out to the population once again. I think prehistoric wall drawings will be the new trend next week... Better get your mud ready.

Your 15 minutes are up...


Hmmm, pop art? pop photography? Bubble gum?

Ok, isn't photography a form of art? If one would photograph pop culture. Like the "Bubble Gum" style, isn't this a form of pop culture as the same as the trends from the 80's or 70's? Which seem to have emerged back into our life's once again....this is indeed Pop Art. Worhol is back and I got my 15 minutes back too. :)

Hmmm, I undertand the diffintion of trend...we live in a post-modern art world.....if we go back in time, it appears that everthing has been done. However, I must say, that it isn't a bad thing to study art history and still use it our art today in a new light. I have to admit from studying art in college, I have used some ideas and styles from paintings and put them to use with my camera. With the camera, it's tad bit harder than a simple brush stroke. Which is why I love photography so much, it's challenging. However, I think I'll leave the photo of a "Campbells Soup" can alone..:))

You don't live in a bubble? That's too bad, you are missing out. You can jump around and never hurt your head. I'm thinking of a plastic bubble. :))

I know...hence the question I asked about the tutorial someone wrote. I cannot find it anywhere and it was posted here. I can find a few links for grunge, but not that one. I sort of remember the process but am missing a few steps. I didn't have time to work through it then(and like a maroon I did not mark it 'watch')but it seemed the most adaptable to other programs (no brushes or actions required, done with processing steps common to most editors).



It was Joey Lwrence explaining his workflow in "Digital Color" mentorship thread: //www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=239063

Nope - never read that thread for one; needs the dragonizer for two. The thread started out with one really long post that described the process with examples and such. It was not by Joey and it was not in a mentorship thread. I can remember what the pics looked like, just not the thread. It did not require anything special like actions or brushes or the like. It was straight processing steps available to most editors.

This is the closest I get. I'd like to experiment or try some offshoot type of thing. It's a cool look but it's getting played fast.

Just for the record, you do not have to use the "dragonizer" to get this look everyone is calling "grunge." Personally, I never use actions or filters of any kind in photoshop; I feel that by using them you never truly learn what you are doing. Play around with layers and blending modes -- that's the key.

here's a tutorial from the web. Different effect it would seem, but interesting none the less...

Now that is closer to what I was looking for. Thanks. That one never came up on any of my searches.

that's true, but for just playing around, the filters and brushes are fun to use. actions, on the other hand, can be defined to do any kind of processing and really come in handy if you are editing a lot of photos.

Thanks for that link :) It does a nice job of showing how to blend several images and will be fun to try.

Meanwhile, my latest creation, after going through pages of stuff and many, many brushes and actions....
