Photomontage Art Project | Salmon Rush

November 2022

Gr12 art project inspired by ___'s photomontage art style. This is a project I was dreading when I took gr12 art. I'm not a photographer and I was not anticipating making anything that I'd like. Surprisingly, I really, really liked this project.

Me and my partner took my father's gopro and canon camera and went to the local creek to bother some salmon.

I did make a digital version of it to figure out the scaling I'd need to print everything at. I then maximized profit by nesting the pictures on 8.5x11" files so that I'd spend the least amount of money printing them 🔥(because we had to do that ourselves, the school doesn't have coloured printers 🙄)

Lowkey there was only one other person whose project I liked for this assignment. A lot of them were really messy and didn't have any grounding elements. For this one I put a lot of focus on the logs in the middle. And I did splice together a lot of pictures to form the whole log, but I made sure they were all lined up so the full form was still distinguishable.
