Our task for this project was to get close to objects or people and take pictures of them. Using zoom on my phone camera aided me in this project. One new thing I tried in this project was using auto on a regular camera. One challenge was finding good things to get pictures of. If I had the time, I would photograph Lego’s close up. You can find the rest of my photos here.
This project is about taking photos of events that seem to be occurring in one place, but the setting is actually in a different location. These people helped inspire this project, Justin Bettman and Carrie Mae Weems. The Photoshop tools I used in this project were the elliptical marquee and the curves tab. If I had to choose a place to take a picture that represents my family’s story, I would choose the Rocky Mountains because I was born in Colorado, and it is an important place to me. You would expect photos of mountains and nature from me. Here is a link to the rest of my photos.
In this project I was tasked with taking photos of people or objects in motion. What helped me capture good images was rapidly taking pictures of the thing in motion (In this case I used my phone). My tip is that you have to make sure the object you are taking a picture of, is the main subject of the photo. If I could photograph a sport, I would choose basketball because it is a fun sport. You can find the rest of the photos I took here.

I am thankful for LPMS. I love going to this school almost everyday to see my friends and my awesome teachers.
I am thankful for this awesome library. I like going to this library often to read the books my dad has collected over the years.
The most difficult part of the project was getting people to say yes to being photographed. The changes I see are that people look much different when they are smiling, form when they are frowning. Bias could affect which things you take pictures of, and how you take them. You should ask your client if they are okay with taking pictures and you should ask them where you should take the picture.

We took our pictures using our phone lights to draw the image. Our settings made it so that the shutter stayed open for longer, and that more light was absorbed. What worked was using our phone lights and moving them around to draw an image. What didn’t work was keeping the shutter stay open for a short amount of time. It was frustrating to draw the images, as it was hard to plan out where to draw. To take the project to the next level, maybe we could have done it outside, when it was dark. You can find the rest of my photos here.
The process I used to make my photos was, using minimal lights but making sure the person was seen. What worked was putting our hands mostly over the light, but leaving a little light to show the person. What didn’t work was showing the full light onto the person. You can find our photos here.
This assignment was about taking pictures using the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds basically says to imagine splitting up your photo into thirds, and then basing the photo of off that. What worked on this project was turning on the gird on my phone to take pictures. What didn’t work was trying to imagine the lines on the photo. I thought that the project was a little dull and boring. The lines helped divide up the photo, so that you could align the parts of the photo to fit them. You can find all of my photos here.
When taking the pictures, our group found it easier to use no light while taking our photos. What didn’t work in our photos, was that they were very blurry and the camera moved a lot. Here
In this assignment I was tasked with taking 5 different photos of one object from different angles. One of the challenges of the project was finding different angles to get the pictures, as some objects don’t have much variety. The hardest object to photograph was a person because you need to find very clever angles to make the pictures seem different. This project helped me develop my creativity. You can find my pictures here.
