advertisements

This is my film photo for this project. I chose to demonstrate pro- fur advertisement. i think the expression on her face shows how great wearing a fur coat can be. My film turned out really great this time and i think this photo has good contrast. i like all the shadowing. it could be a little sharper.

This photo is for the tv show ad. my tv show has to do with two girls who are totally opposite change lives to experience new things. the girl in the white coat is a rich girly-girl and the girl in the hat is more of a rough down to earth tom boy. I chose to do this photo in black and white digital. i think they have really good expressions on their faces that help portray the meaning of my photo. it has pretty good contrast. i think the lighting could have been better. on photoshop made the eyes stand out more and pushed up the contrast.

this is my clothing ad. i chose to advertise winter clothing. i think this is my best photo out of the three. it has really good lighting and colors. the photo is really clear. on photoshop i made her eyes sharper and i also dodged and burned her eyes. i burned the right side of the photo so it wouldn't look so busy.

black and white

i like the shadows and the lighting in this photo. the shadow and foot prints lead my eye back and forth. has pretty good depth of field.

this photo has good contrast and a good depth of field. i think the photo also shows a lot of texture.

i think this one has the best contrast. i tried to frame the sunlight with the dead plant stem. i also tried to focus beyond the dead stem.

winter photos

This photo has good composition, follows the rule of thirds. i think this photo has a lot of the cool colors, on the bench, lake, and snow. i like the reflection in the water and how on the bench there is a thick layer of snow. i like how the lake is kind of frozen in some parts.

This picture took me forever to catch the drip off the icicle. i finally got it. i like how you can see through the icicle. i think the photo has a chilly sort of feeling. it has good composition and the photo feels balanced.

i like how even though the sun is shining the picture still has cool colors; the snow and the sky. i think this photo also has good composition. i like the sun rays and where the sun is in the photo.

i really like this photo. it really has good cool colors. i like the bar across the bottom, it balances the photo. it also has good composition. i like the reflections in the water as well.

thanksgiving project

I really dont like using photos of myself but i had no other choice. In the magazine the photographer Brianna Graham takes life style photography. The photo i chose was of a mom and her 2 little girls laughing. its a black and white photo but its has a pink reddish tone to it. this is what i did with this photo. Graham uses a black background with the light coming from the right side. i did the same thing. i set up my tripod and placed the light on the ground the left of me. i had to use the flash otherwise my photos get pixely so it is harder to see the light coming from the right. on photoshop i went in and whitened the eyes. i did a slight blur.

In the magazine the same photographer as below also did a set of photos, but with different kids who had kind of the same expression/mood. so this time used 3 different people with a similar expression. the photographer used light coming from the right side and so did i. I placed mine a little different. I did a blur effect on all 3, then i went in and sharpened the eyes, lips, and done the nose. I also whitened the eyes and highlights and burned the eyelashes. I learned this from the field trip. The photographer form the magazine used different sensory things to make the kids moods, but i only told my models to act serious. I really like the composition of this photos, but they turned a little pixely. i colored balanced the photos than i decreased the saturation.

In the magazine i used there are photos set up like this with a kid making different faces or expressions. the photo is in black and white. I tried to use some of the same techniques. It was a little difficult using my dog, but i think i got pretty god photos. I used some of the techniques from the field trip. it sharpen her eyes and burned the center to make them stand out. I also made the highlights stand out using the dodge tool. In the magazine it talked about how kids react to different things with expressions because they can't talk very well. That is kind of like a dog because dogs can't speak. The photographer uses different sensory things to change the child's mood. I used a dog treat to move my dog's head and change her expressions.

field trip

Greek Myth

I picked the myth about Atalanta. She is a strong beautiful women. She could out run any man except one time when she was racing, the man would throw a golden apple to distract Atalanta. Atalanta didn't win the race because she was distracted by the golden apple. That is why i included running shoes and a painted apple. overall i really like this photo. i think it has good composition. i like the color and different values. i wanted this photo to show strength and confidence. i think i did a pretty good job in expressing that.

series

My series is demonstrating how i am quiet person. the first photo shows how i am quiet in school or when i am around people i have just met. I used the light coming from the right because i wanted only half of her face to have light on it. light represents others and me kind of turning away because i am shy. i used a white sheet as the background. i like how it is dark in the lower left corner.

the second photo represents my quietness about my faith. I don't talk about my faith that often. i took this photo at my church. in photoshop i made the photo have a soft focus. i had the light coming from the left side and coming down on her head. i did that to make her face have a shadow and the top of her head have the light reflecting on it. i like how she is kind of hiding but it also looks like she is thinking or reflecting. the photo feels balanced.

The third photo represents how i am somewhat quiet during soccer. I am a little more open during soccer because i am around some of my friends. with this photo i didn't want to just take a picture of someone holding a soccer ball . i used the soccer goal net as a way to demonstrate the theme. i really like the values in this photo. i like the angle of this photo too. the net frames her face.

the fourth photo shows how i express myself through photography. photography allows me too express myself without using words. even though i am a quiet person i can "speak" through my photography. I think this is the reason why i like photography so much. I had the lighting coming from the left, but i had most of her face lit up. i did this because photography it were i am not as quiet so her face is lit up. I like how there are dark shadows around the edges.

artist photos

The top photo i used Elliott Erwitt as an inspiration. He takes many photos of dogs. He also uses different angles and also likes to use different depths field. i like the angle of my photo and i also like how she was standing on a hill. The second photo i was inspired by Eugene Atget. He also liked using a large depth of field. He also used s-curves. In my photo i used an s-curve and i tried to get a large d.p.

night photos

The top photo is of a light outside my house. i like how it looks like the light is coming out, dropping down. I set my camera on the firework mode and than i moved my camera around when i was taking the photo. The below photo is just grass. i took the photo right before it got really dark out. I liked how it turned out with the flash on. i like the detail and the colors of this photo too.

Holga

These are my holga prints. they turned out ok. For both of them i overlapped or double exposed my film. i like how they kind of look old. the top photo i used a regular exposure machine so the edges are rounded. I wanted the flowers to look like they were coming out of the cement. the bottom photo i used the holga exposure machine. i like how it looks kind of transparent.

photograms

these are my photograms. the first one is called "innocence" bc the expression on the girls face and just the entire feeling of the photo makes me think of innocence. i called the second photo "aged beauty" bc the photo looks really rustic and old. i used a few different layering techniques for both. i also think the second photo has good contrast.
