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.
