May 2019 – mimi's photography

For this project, Saige, Bryan, Maansur, Abhay and I had to take pictures in the dark in order to see the light graffiti. For the light graffiti, we used the flashlights on our phone to create a picture or drawing. We also used a blue and pink background on our phone to make the light graffiti have color in it. We tried to draw things like hearts, stars, wings, etc. and it worked really good. We tried to draw a ukulele and make Abhay into Bob Ross but it didn’t work since we messed up a lot. It was hard to make the drawing look more cool and colorful because we had trouble trying to work all together. If I took this project to the next level, I would want to use multiple colors in one photo. In this photo below, we tried to surround Abhay with stars by moving our flashlight and turning it on and off.

For this project, we needed to create a story using lego characters and objects. The camera needed to be up close to the legos, which also relates to our previous project, “Up Close.” Our previous project helped me to focus on small details of an object, so for this project we needed to focus on the details of the legos. I also used the “Rule of Thirds” technique to position my camera so that the lego figure wasn’t just in the middle. The objects in the photo had to be “lego sized,” like in the photo with the lego figure playing golf, the golf club had to be small so that the lego figure could actually hold it. It was challenging to use the legos to represent a story because the objects had to be as small as the lego figures and it was hard to come up with ideas. If we had to take 5 more pictures, I would like to photograph the lego figures in a forest and a lake or river (with a boat).
