Brandon Harrell - Weekly Artist Post #7






1.     Lovejoy is most likely using a digital format for his photographs. It is not clearly stated whether or not he is using analog or digital. In addition to this, he is also utilizing color format. It appears that he is using a higher saturation setting on his camera, documenting the bright vivid colors that come out of these mixtures.
2.     His subject is something that is very interesting- taking paints and inks and blending them together, then taking a photograph of the end result. The various liquids in topic are not completely mixed together, and have a very glossy look to the mix, hence the bright highlights in the picture.  Predominately, it appears he is using various paints, due to the sheer amount of colors that appear in the mixes. He has also used oil, resin, diluents, drying agents and waxes to add to his mixtures to create a different effect each time. He has done this project for several years, and has posted thousands of pictures like the ones featured online.

3.     I personally found genuine interest in Lovejoy’s work. While most photographers make pictures of scenery, people, or even parking lots, he is finding new ways to explore what he put his camera to use for. I also find very interesting in the dynamics of these various liquids interacting with each other, some of which appear to make an actual image in the blend.
