#ProLevel

In this final project, we had to take two pictures of one subject. These pictures had to be different, one took little effort while the other one required a different angle with editing. To edit it, I turned the brightness down, and sharpness up with lots of different filters. I really this class because I thought I knew a lot about photography but I learned a lot more. The smile project was my favorite, because it made me realize that everyone is different than they look. Now, when I take photos I take more time ad think about the background and composition. I’ve always loved photography because it gives me something to do, and I can see things from different perspectives. Below is one of my favorite pictures from this whole semester, I had so many to choose from and this was a hard decision. This was taken  from the lights project which gave us lots of freedom.

Smile

This week in photography my class was required to take photos of people smiling vs a straight face. We took 30 photos of 15 people. First, I asked them to keep a straight face and then I politely asked them to smile. Some of these people I knew some of them were strangers that I had asked over winter break.  Some challenges of this project were asking people I didn’t know to smile, otherwise it was easy to take two simple pictures. I can tell why some people can view others a certain way before getting to meet them, because of their appearance. Some of the people In these slideshows have appearances that come off to be judgy, in a standoff way. Others continue to look happy even when they are not smiling. 

My job as a photographer is too come into taking pictures is to have a clear mind and not judge people by the way they look. Sometimes, you can see the story in people’s eyes, and others not so much. I learned a lot from this project and I enjoyed it.
