period 6


this picture is done to show random objects, and how they call come together to make a good picture. what is in this picture is a 1 pound bag of candy, a robotic dinosaur, and my model with a flower dress and gold belt.  it's clear what each object is in the picture.

there isn't an object touching each corner, but there is line, and shape, and lots of colors and shade. i think this picture works because the large amount of black due to the dino, and the colors of the candy. the candy helps guide the eye back and forth to the dino and my model. everything is in focus in this picture, but i used to strobe so the light would be on her, and not on the dino.

this picture was taken inside, and the lighting was the strobe. the actual lighting in the picture wasn't photoshopped. i just left it the way it is. i did burn her and darken the dino. i also photoshopped the paper towel that the candy is laying on, so it would look like it was just on the tarp with her.

i love this picture. im glad mz miles was there to help me with the idea of putting the dino so close. i love the position of the model, i didn't pose her at all and and it looks really natural and planned. 


5th period



this photo is to show the elements of design

period 5


1. in this picture i see trees, and the sky, and a few blurred heads and bodies. and the cements, and grass and dirt. the the blurry heads in the middle of it seem more abstract, and the items in the foreground and background are clear and you can tell what they are. 


2. it has line, and it has something in every corner. there is a strong black and a strong white. the direction is horizontal (although it looks vertical because the picture wouldn't do what i wanted it to do). i think the size is pretty good, there is nothing too large or too small. and over all the direction is pretty good cuz the white makes your eye stay on the page. and the darkness was on accident in printing.


3. i was trying to show blur. it was done outside. and the picture was too dark when printed. 


4. this picture wasn't as successful as i thought it would be.




comment: this picture is outside using natural light, and the point of it is to show blur. i have people rolling on the ground. too bad i printed the picture too dark, cuz it was pretty cool. as always, i love the point of view.
let me start by saying i hate this picture because the computer wont let me turn it AND save it, so it is on its side. this is a stop action picture, the people are falling forward(although it's a bit hard to tell). i didn't like the timing on this photo, it should have been a few seconds later. the picture was done using natural sun light, and once again, i love the point of view.

period 5

i took this picture, but my partner printed it. in this picture i am using natural light, outside in the shade. this was our first project. i used shallow depth the field, to be more personal with my subject (and the tree). there is nothing about this photo i would change. i love the point of view because it feels like you are right there with her. i believe this picture has emotion, because of it's simplicity.

model release form

http://www.dpcorner.com/all_about/releases.shtml 


well.... it is what the title says, its the model release form.

lensbaby period 6

this is another example of the lensbaby in action. i have the focus on the right and it fades to blur to the left, as you can see it start on ger shoulder. i had out door lighting, and it was overcast, so it wasn't the best condition, but the picture still came out well.

lensbaby period 6

this photo was taken using the lensbaby. its a close up of a tree, using natural lighting. i just wanted to show a new point of on this tree, and show the detail of the bark. this was an experiment using the lensbaby, but i really liked it.

beauty lighting period 6

this was an example of basic beauty lighting. we had hot lights and needed to gradually fade the backround. {"even though andrea looks fuckn bomedy as fuck she still cute(: <3"-andrea} it needed opposite face lighting. 

motion period 6

This photo was showing my ability to take a blur picture. i wanted to show music in action. this is showing the interaction between two instruments. the lighting was outside, so i didn't have a choice on the conditions. i really like the way the xylophone is going away from the camera and into the violin. and there is something on each side of this picture. i like that the more bold colors are in front and the more neutral colors are in the back. i think the eye is drawn to the bright colors first, but the shape of the violin takes the eyes from right to left, and keeps it toward the middle/right
