Urban Camouflage Artists


Aaron Larney

Aaron was born and raised in Northern London. He was a recent graduate from Central Saint Martins with first class honours in BA Graphic Design. Aaron enjoys working in print, digital and motion graphics. 

My Favorite project that Aaron did was urban camouflage.Urban camouflage projects are photos in which the subject completely blends in with the backgrounds. Created along with the help of artists Matt Child one urban camouflage features a complete boiler suit which is barely visible the other is a hooded jacket obscured by ads and editorials making it magically disappear into the notice board in front of which it stands.

One of the other projects that Aaron did was LCD 3D Type using an LCD font he created a 3D effect by capturing the letters while moving the camera at a 45 degree angle and set distance resulting in a trailing of the letters which creates both a 3D and smoking look to the words.

Jan Von Holleben dreams of flying

Biography 

Jan von Holleben was born 1977 in Cologne Germany. Following the foot steps of his father at an early age Jan started to take an interest in photography. Jan loved to take photos of his "magical tricks" and developed his imagination and skill with friends and family. After earning a degree in the Theory and history of Photography at Surrey Institute of Art and Design he moved to London. In London he worked hard at his job of picture editor, art director and photographic director and gained many skills. He soon had a vast collection of photographic works and even had exhibits internationally.

Images 

I choose this image because I like angle of view of the photo and I like the dog. I do not like the ambient light and the orange hat on the child. I would have used a different background such as a forest floor or something more natural. I also enjoy the little white flowers trailing the path of the dog and how it looks like he is really walking but I would have cropped out the side of the road for a solid background.    

I choose this image because i enjoyed the Harry Potter book and it reminded me of them I like how the children are leaning at an angle to give it a 3D look. I do not like the background and would have made it look more like a sky using a blue blanket also I would have added more props like a quidditch ball or some stand to make the photo look like it was in a quidditch match.  

This was one of my most enjoyed photos I really liked the movie ghostbusters and I really like the emotions on the children's faces. I do not like the lighting and background of the photo and I would have picked a more city look and brighter setting for the photo. I like the inspiration but I would have made it more like the movie using costumes and older people for the photo.
