Illusion My idea is to show how through photography, we can mislead the eye into believing things are, what they're not. I will be touching on magic and the whole career and history of illusionists, comparing the the old illusionists who started off the trade e.g. Houdini, to the new illusionists of today e.g. Derren Brown and David Blaine. I started off my project by doing some studio photography of normal everyday objects available from most classrooms, i then adjusted the Depth of Field and aperture to blur the picture so i could then add it to another picture off the internet and make it blend in as a different object. Firstly I photographed a banana up against a black background as I planned to mask this out later. I made sure the photo was sharp and the best I could get it. I then decided the shape almost resembled a flame so I blurred out the main details of the banana such as the bruising and stalk to amplify the flame effect. After I had done this I found an un lit candle on google images and masked and pasted the banana in the place that the flame would be. I all I actually feel this worked very well as I have tricked quite a few people into believing it was just a picture of a candle.
