The Origami Forum

HI,

I like photo-diagramming my own models, but I don't know how to improve them. I would like to exchange messages with someone that can be considered an expert photo-diagrammer. If I were talking about instructional videos the names Evan Zodll (EZ Origami), Sara Adams (Happy Folding), and Leyla Torres (Origami Spirit) would come to my mind, but in the case of photo-diagrams I just wouldn't know who would be considered an expert.

Who would you recommend me as an expert in the web? I would really apprecite any feedback, I could REALLY need some help.

Nguyen Hung Coung is pretty good maybe ask him

and I've done some photo-diagrams as well so i might be able to help

What would you say a photo-diagram needs to be particularly good?

Could I check out your photo-diagrams Polistes?

In the Spanish forum they suggested me Hoàng Tiến Quyết. His photo-diagrams are suspicously similar to the ones of Eric Joisel's Mask.

i did some photo diagrams that i think were quite useful.

Thanks for sharing Axel, the same questions then . Can I check out your photo-diagrams? And what would you say a photo-diagram needs to be particularly good?

Thanks for the photo-diagrams polistes! I was really looking forward to checking them out... and that's a beautiful rose .

Have you always left your photo-diagrams as independent pictures or have you ever unified them into one file using some other software?

I always leave them separate so if want i can put them together later if i want to. I'm going to start putting some of them together soon using paint or Microsoft word

Thanks for the info polistes

I'm super happy cause Pere's and Quyet's articles on photo-diagramming helped me a lot, besides Óscar Osorio's two articles (in Spanish) on photographying models in 4 Esquinas No. 5 and 6!

I improvised the following photo studio. I tilted the tripode to take pictures from exactly above the paper (during the first steps). I tied 2 pounds of weight to the back-leg of the tripode so it wouldn't fall down. I decided for artificial light (for the first time), using general lighting (a fluorescent light bulb) and a "spot" light (white-light incandescent light bulb). And two white cardboards acted as background during the photo shoot.












I'm pretty proud so I just had to share it

I'm gonna take a couple of classes in photography !
