The senior class of 2012 asked me to help them with this. I so loved the work with them as well as the results.
Strobist info: an SB-900 through an umbrella from upper left, a silver reflector from lower right corner - roughly.
Can photographers be impressionists? I recently attended the MET Masters of French Painting exhibit (in Houston) and one of the many things I took away was that the impressionist paintings weren't necessarily "in focus" (as much as that makes sense in a painting).
So I got my Lensbaby the next day and it's a perfect tool for producing out of focus images. This patch of flowers and trees struck me as a pile of colors more than a sharp scene... so that's how I shot it.
What do people think of "impressionist photography" as a concept? Where maybe nothing is directly in focus... but the image is an impression, it's what you saw or felt and not necessarily an objective view of what was there.
Shot taken w/ my Lensbaby @ f/2.8. No Photoshop applied except to kick up the colors.
This one reminds me strongly of the impressionist movement of painting. The impressionists were trying to mimic photography (in its instantaneity, not necessarily the results). This one mimics impressionism. Ooh, meta. Incidentally, I really really like shadows of trees on walls.
