Sun Print Image

This is my best sunprint image. This assignment was one of our first assignments we had in photography. We went out during class with sun sensitive paper and brought objects to leave so that we can get it's negative effect. There is a ribbon I had from cheer, a ring and a piece of bubble gum I believe. I had the hardest time trying to get a good sunprint. The one thing I was really amazed of was the pattern that the sun captured in the ribbons negative. I didn't think that the pattern/polka dots would have shown but they did come up. I was disappointed in how much the shape of the objects didn't really come out but I was really impressed with the texture in the ribbon and color principle of the range of blue.

Photographer Pick

This was mt "artist pick" photo. This was just a simple assignment to practice taking portraits of people and getting comfortable with telling them what to do or capturing them in their element. I picked this photo because it showed how much I started to like taking portraits. I totally captured my friend's silly and crazy side. The background was also incorporated to show her silly side and also our teacher challenged us to include some radial design in our photo. I definitely like the asymmetrical balance in this photo and the shape provided in the painting for the background.

Photoshop Altered Image

This is my photoshop altered image that best satisfied me most. Many times during the semester, we were assigned specific tasks to try on photoshop. This was our "cutout filter" task. I used an image from my photo autobiography of my puppy to try this filter on. I really liked how the element of line and shape really play a role because you're trying to get the sense of a "cutout" image. And the range of the color pink kind of makes the image look cute and really adorable. (:

Ilse Bing Remake

This image is my photo that I took to best represent Ilse Bing. Part of our photographer research paper was to take a picture that resembles the pictures in which the photographer was used to taking. We simply remade a photo of their style. I chose Ilse Bing and she was known for her work in value. Also she was known to love lines, streets and architecture. So I tried to compose a picture of a street. Around my neighborhood, there is a gap in between two houses where you could see the turn on the street and a street lamp(in my photo) I picked it and started taking pictures. I also altered it to show the value that Ilse Bing is known for. I also wanted to emphasize more on the shape element of the street but since it was so dark, it was kind of kidden. The end result turned out very dark, but I still like how it came out.

Best Actor Photo

This is one of my favorite photos I have taken this year and it is one of my actor images. Our assignment was to partner up with a drama student and accomplish a formal, angry, joyful, and removed photo from them for their headshots. Interacting with a different student and playing with a formal studio to set up was really fun. It also gave me a chance to manually play with lighting which helped a lot and was a good experience. I would definitely say emphasis, value and color are all major components in this photo. The beautiful range from black to white is amazing and capturing her emotion is really shown with lighting.

Enviromental Photo

This was my enviromental picture that I chose that was the best. I really liked how this picture turned out. We were supposed to capture people in their element, doing what they usually do. So I took a picture of my mom because you could usually find her fixing her hair, changing her clothes or retouching her makeup even though it's a day to stay home. Movement would be a definite element in this picture. Also balance between the asymmetrical balance in how it's composed and also the reflection in the mirror gives a sense of balance. I would have to say these photos were the most challenging because since you didn't want it to look really posed, it was harder to capture the right photo.

Self Portrait

This was my best result for my self portrait. We were told to take a self portrait of ourselves(hense "self" portrait) and using our knowledge in photography, portray something about our personality our about ourselves. I tried to portray that I was a shy-flirty type. I'm someone who is shy at fist but once you get to know me, I'm really spunky and fun. Emphasis on just me is definitely showed and an asymetrical balance because of how I placed myself not in the center. This was the funnest picture taking so far because of how personal it was.

Shutter Photo

This is my best shutter photo. We were assigned to take a photo showing the motion or movement in objects. I found it difficult to stay stationary and capture moving objects so I had an idea to do it while the car was moving so that everything is effected by the movement. The element in this photo would be movement obviously. The principle would have to be Space because your eye kind of follows the car as it's moving. It took a really long time to get a good photo but I'm very happy with this one.

Ansel Adams Nature Photo

This is my photo that I thought best resembled the way Ansel Adams took his photos. We were assigned to research about Ansel Adams and take photos that best represented his style. I chose the beach for the main setting for my pictures. An element in the photo that's most dominant would be rhythm because of the movement of the water. A principle would probably be the value used. It shows a great value from true white to true black and everything in between.

Scanner Art

This is my scanner art photo. We were assigned to bring in and 3D objects from home so that we could scan them. We all composed it to our liking on the scanner and altered it on photoshop to enhance it. I grabbed a picture of my puppy and a picture of an ornament and candycane and I tried to make it look like the dog wanted the candycanea nd I was trying to take it back from her. One element in the picture would be texture because of how I changed the look of the ornament and candycane. A principle would probably be balance because it's pretty much set up in thirds.
