This semester has gone great in Photography. It all started with 24 Colors and ended here. My thoughts have not changed about photography I still love it. My pictures have changed for the better, better lighting, better subjects, etc. My favorite project was Then I Asked Them to Smile because I went out of my comfort zone to take pictures of strangers. Photography definitely is a career option. I will try to keep learning about cameras and photography in high school.
What I had to do for this project was take photos close up to show textures. What worked well is not getting to close so it actually focuses. My Challenge was finding good places to take pictures. I had some issues like the camera not focusing. I would probably take a picture of bugs or animals. For the rest of my photos come here.
For this project we had to create 4 emotions with 4 pictures in a fake set. The photographers that created the orginal photos are Justin Bettman and Carrie Mae Weems. The photoshop tools I used were lasso, curves and black and white. If I would take a photo that would represent my family I would take it in my dining room because I spend most of my time with my family there. For the rest of my photos click here.
For this project I had to change the ISO, Shutter speed, and the F-stop of the camera to create a background that looks infinite. Also,we had to mess with the photo in Photoshop to make the background look more “Infinite”. What worked was placing the light source behind the object so it doesn’t create shadows. What didn’t work was when someone was behind the background and it created a shadow. See the rest of my portraits here
For this assignment I had to get 3 objects and take 5 different pictures. The challenge of this project was getting 5 different angles for one object without doing the same angle. the hardest one was probably Zach because it was hard not taking the same picture. This project helped me understand that some angles make an object look better. For my photos come here.
