Framing A Subject

For this project, we needed to find objects that would make a “frame” shape to take our photos. We used these frames to create a better looking picture. The person or object had to be positioned in the frame. We used different shapes outside and inside the school to take our photos. When creating “Rule of Thirds” it can help frame an image by using the edges. The most challenging part was trying to find unique “frames” throughout the school, we mainly used doors as our frames for our photos. My favorite photo is the one below of my friend, Emily. This is my favorite photo because she was doing this random position while she was talking to my other friends. Her smile also doesn’t seem forced. I also like this picture because it’s very clear and I used the black fence around the turf as a unique frame.

Rule of Thirds

For this project, we went outside to take photos and we also took photos inside our school. I wanted to take pretty photos so I also decided to add a filter to my photos by using VSCO. I thought rule of thirds was a unique way to take pictures. On the camera on my phone, I used a grid and when I took a picture of a person or object, one of the vertical lines had to be on the person or object. This project showed me that the person or object in a photo does not have to be in the middle.

Portraits

For this project, we used a white background and a black background to take portraits of ourselves. Saige and I wanted to make the picture show only half of our faces using the light. We had to stand far away and point the light on the side of our face to make this effect, and it worked. At first we had the light too close to us so the photos didn’t look good so we had to adjust the ISO and Shutter Speed. We had to make sure that there were no shadows on the background. We also had to make sure that the photos didn’t have a lot of light. I edited my photos with Adobe Photoshop to make it black & white and to add brightness and contrast to my photos.

5 Shots

For this assignment “5 Shots”, we had to go out and take pictures of 3 different objects with 5 different positions. I took pictures of my shoe, a book, and Bryan. What I found challenging was that it was hard to come up with ideas on what to take a photo of. The hardest object to photograph was Bryan because he kept on moving and he was talking. This project helped me take better clear photos so I can take good pictures in the future. The photo below is my favorite picture because these Vans are one of my favorite shoes and it stands out.
