for this project, I decided to turn off the lights, and draw a variety of things, with nothing but a nice camera and a purple rectangle on my phone, turned on to the brightest setting. Using the high brightness phones turned out to work really well. We would take a screenshot of a blue, green, …

Macro photos (with LEGOS)
For this project, I used Lego Mini-figures to create a scene that would parallel what they would be like if they were our size. In essence, this isn’t small people in a big world, its big people in a big world. I used the skills of lighting and rule of thirds from my previous projects …
Up Close
For this project, I decided to take pictures of things up close, to discover new details and patterns, along with the color and symmetry that can exist beyond the normal appearance. It took only a few days, and I was very satisfied with the results. Personally, I would suggest this to anyone trying to get …
Action Photos
The purpose of this project is to try to capture an action on camera, whether that be a guy running to catch an incoming football, or a pen falling off a high table. The hardest part of this is being able to take a crisp and clear photo, as opposed to a blurry one. I …
Rule of Thirds
For this project, Charles and I decided to focus on the rule of thirds principle, where certain objects you want more focus on will catch the eyes of the viewer if you position them on 3 horizontal and 3 vertical lines. I was very interested in this project and I would certainly say that it …
Framing my Subject
For this project, Charles and I went around the inside and outside of the school, and positioned ourselves so the natural and man-made surroundings almost created a picture frame. This was the idea of framing, to direct focus to your subject, using the things around you. In my last post, I said the Rule of …
Infinite Backgrounds
The process I used for this project was to take a picture with someone in a unique pose, set against a completely black or white background, and slightly twerk it in Photoshop to make the person stand out from the image. The pictures originally looked pretty good, and the poses we thought up were new …
1 object, 5 shots
for this project, I decided to push my creative photography skills by taking 5 completely different angles of a single motionless object. The challenge of course was trying to decide which angles to take and coming up with a new set of angles for each of the objects. The hardest object of the three to …
24 Crayons
For this post, I’ve decided to walk around my school and try to blend a simple box of 24 crayons with the many colors around the area. Since the walls of the school are nothing but a boring beige, I had to get creative and search the terrain for any unlikely spots of color. The …
My Logo
When I get photos, I usually use google. I have to admit, when I do this I do not contact the owner or give him credit for his work. I have realized though, I would hope that the person taking MY photos would allow me a sliver of credit. This is why I thought it …
