Up Close

For this project, we had to take close up photos of different things. Our main goal was to take pictures that were so close up, that you couldn’t tell where they were taken. I found that it worked well to slowly move my phone closer and closer to the object until right before it started to get blurry. Some of the hard parts of this project were finding things to take pictures of, and not being able to get as close as I wanted to because of the “restrictions” on the iPhone camera. Thankfully, the problems were solved (for the second problem I used VSCO). If I had the time, and equipment to take close up pictures, I would take pictures of everyday objects (ex. papers in a binder). You can find more of my pictures here

Set In The Street

This project is called Set In The Street. There were two photographers this project was based on, Justin Bettman and Carrie Mae Weems. Justin Bettman creates a set in a random public place, then takes a picture that makes it seem like the people in the picture are in a house (not in some random public place). Carrie Mae Weems creates pictures with “table scenes” (things you would usually do at a table). For this project, we created a table set in the middle of our school. After taking the pictures I used photoshop to edit them and make them black and white. If I had to choose one place to tell my family’s story, it would probably be my dining room table. Many things have happened at that table. Anyways, here are my other photos.
