Set In The Street

For this project we had to take photos that show an emotion and a easy to follow story, and then edit them. Justin Bettman is an editorial photographer who takes garbage and makes sets on the street for people to take photos in.http://www.justinbettman.com/  Mae Weems is an artist who took pictures of her and her daughter at the kitchen table in black and white the pictures tell a story and an emotion. I used the marquee tool and the curve layer as well as the select>modify>feather tool. If I had to choose a place to tell my family’s story it would either be in a car or a park. When I was little my family always went to the park,went fishing, hikes, went on walks and to the playground. I would tell our story there because of how much we were there. I would tell our story in a car because nowadays we are all always busy with school, work, sports, etc. and the time we are usually all together is when we are in the car going on a trip or something.

Catch The Action

The project, Catch The Action is about taking cool photos of things that are in motion while trying to keep the object of focus in focus and the background not in focus/ or not distracting from the thing in motion. I timed my photos so when the car or bike or whatever was moving by I got a good shot of it. If you are trying to take an action photo, it takes lots of tries and make sure to not be too late or too early when taking the photo. If I could take a picture of any sport, I would do football. I would do football because players get hurt all the time and if you timed a photo right before someone got tackled it would look really cool. To view the rest of my photos, click here
