Self Directed Project
For this picture i wanted to try something different. I really liked the portrait project so i wanted to try including that in this project. I was looking through photos on google, and Instagram and i saw so many people taking pictures with this large words with lights. That’s when i had an idea of trying taking a picture of the words with a model. I really like the decoration at the back. The most hard thing was finding the perfect lighting. I made my model stand facing the other way because every time i tried taking pictures of her facing the camera it didn’t turn out the way i wanted it. I also like how her dress was matching with the light in the back. I didn’t edit this photo at all. I think this was one of my favourite project because i actually got to try different things and we didn’t have a specific thing that we had to do.
Famous photographer part 2
For this month we were suppose to recreate or get inspiration from our contemporary photographer that we did research on. I got inspiration from him. If you look at all his pictures he usually does black and white and his pictures are actually simple but he makes it look like it’s not. I don't really like black and white photos but for this project i tried black and white and i took a picture of a railway track. The hard part while i was taking a picture of the railway track was that in the middle of the shoot a train came so i had to get off and wait until it was gone and we waiting for about 15-20 mins and then we started taking pictures. I wanted to try putting or holding jewellery on the railway track but it didn't look nice and there was too much wind there so it kept on blowing the jewellery away. I was happy with my picture but i wanted it to look a little more like my famous photographers. I tried a lot of things like for my first picture i tried it holding a necklace but the wind was blowing it so it didn’t really work. The second picture was of just the railway track i didn’t like the colours in so i tried doing different stuff in Photoshop, like blurring the background and smudging it. The picture that i picked was the one that’s black and white but has a little blur in the back.
Portraits- Environment
For this project we were suppose to do environmental portraits. I had fun with this project because i could take pictures of my model anywhere outside and that it wasn't that much limited as the studio portraits. I took all of these pictures outside of the school and i didn't’ use Photoshop for any of these pictures.
Portraits - Studio
For this project we did studio portraits. I think because it was studio we didn't have that much of freedom where we could take the picture. We had to take the picture in the studio and i just told my model to try different stuff and encouraged her every time to make her feel confident and comfortable. My model did a good job and i used Photoshop to make the pictures more darker.
Double Exposure
For the first double exposure I took a picture of my sister standing with a dress on and I took a separate picture of a pink flower but in Photoshop I changed it to all black. In Photoshop I added the flower on her face. For the second picture I took a picture of like water with mountains and I cropped my cousin from and different picture and added her on that one. I did the same thing for the third picture except I added my sister in it with a different background. I really fun with this photo challenge like joining two pictures together, and editing it later.
Levitation
This project was one of my hardest one because you have to do a lot of thinking and planning before you actually do it. I tried taking this picture more than 10 times and finally i got the picture i wanted. For this picture the girl is standing on a trunk. I had some people hold the cards because when i tried throwing them in the air they would go all over and the picture wasn't turning out the way i wanted. I used Photoshop to get rid of the fingers that i had the people hold cards with.
5 Senses of Fall
For this project we were suppose to do fall senses. For my first picture i took that for movement. It a picture of my kicking the leaves. For my second picture it’s for sight. I took a picture of a leaf for sight because in the fall all you see is leaves everywhere. My third picture is for smell. I don't know if you can really see the acorn in at the edge. For my fourth picture it’s for taste. And my last picture is for touch. I used Photoshop to brightness the pictures.
Photographic Representation
The pictures that i have chose are my hobbies. I think the pictures that i have chose are excellent to me because i really like the color of the sunset and how the first picture of the girls dancing all of them are doing the same thing. All these things make me calm down. When I'm stressed out i like to listen to music, go shopping, and go on a walk to the beach.
