Landscape Project

Concept:

With this project I decided that I would want to make it like a walk through the forest and I photograph what I see. Almost like a visual story. That is why I have so many final shots and a lot of them are not technically landscapes. I used HDR and bracketing for almost every picture and then edited it all in lightroom. I used photoshop to combine the bracketed photos.

Execution:












All these photos are in the same area. I took them while I was walking on a path and it documented my journey. I almost feel like all together the photos have mystery and wonder. Almost like I am taking a walk in an old lost civilization. The meaning behind why I took photos here was because this is all along a pathway behind my house and I walk it often to just relax and bring myself back to reality. It helps me destress to then do what I need to do. I was very glad I decided to do my project here because I got to spend a nice amount of time outside and calm myself after the many stressful things thing that have happened recently.

Reflection:

I don't know if I really completed the project correctly but I really had fun and am happy with a lot of shots. I took so many more that aren't even in the google photo album but I think they are for another time. I also learned how much I love black and white. It tells a lot even without color. I do with though I didn't take so long to do this assignment because now all the leaves are off the tress and my shots would have been so cool in color, but I do really like the black and white. I also very much stressed about this project because I have no place that really has meaning to me that I can shoot at, but I definitely worried too much about that and should have just gone out and shot photos. Also with bracketing I do like it because it gives you different ways to view the same picture, but I HDR wasn't it for these photos. I think it was just because there was very little color at the point I shot the photos and it was very overcast so I couldn't use a lot of the HDR quality. I will try it in the future if I want to capture nice colors or the sky.

Portraits Final

Image
 Concept: With this assignment we are meant to make someone look glamorous and mature for their portraits. With senior photos you want to really showcase the person and who they are, but in an exaggerated sort of way. That is why most photos are meant to be happy and smiling, but obviously we know people aren't actually like that all the time. Execution: My Portrait photos     Felicity Taylor I wouldn't say would fit the bubbly happy type of senior photos. She is a happy person but more of a quiet somber happiness rather than an in your face giggly happy type of person. She is very focused and realistic person and is very grounded. She knows her limits and how to deal with adversity. She is very strong and I wanted to capture this. Her independence and individuality I think shows in her face and body language within these photos. Reflection: I definitely would have liked to take more time taking the photos and designing outfits, but I am not disappointed with th...
