Tear Sheet

This task was kind of hard because im not very good at picking colors and text that go with the picture. I also had a hard time arranging it but this project helped me get better. Overall, i really love how it turned out. <3

Fashion Photoshoot

This project was really fun because i didnt have to think of the set idea. It was easier for me because ms miles set up the shoot and that is the most difficult thing to do. I had some trouble thinking of what kind of shot i wanted but i usually come up with good shots. I like the way these pictures came out but i dont think i edited them that well. Overall i liked this photoshoot and i came up with some pretty good things. <3

Portfolio

These are my pictures for my portfolio. I took some extra so that i can pick from them. Im doing fashion photography which seems easy, but actually is not at all. I wanted to take pictures that were interesting and beautiful. I think that my pictures came out good, well some of them. I still have a lot of work to do but so far, its been prettyyyy okay.

Picture House

This project was really fun because i got to use my creativity and do basically whatever i wanted. For this project, we cut papers and put them together to look like a house, then we painted them and put pictures of "ugly" things in our home. I decided to cut up the pictures and arrange them in an interesting way so that my paper house wasnt boring. I used watercolors and acrylic paint, sharpie and twine. At first i had a hard time figuring out how i was going to do it but in the end i really like the way it turned out. I hope that i get to do something like this again, maybe a book or something.

Yellow Boat Project

This project is the same as the AIDS one but we got to choose which ever topic we wanted. I chose to take a photo that would convey a message to the general population. I didn't choose a topic because i thought it would be hard to have someone pretend to have a problem in a photo that they do not have. I chose to have the model look like a strong person with a lot of pride, at least thats what i wanted. I put this quote with this picture because i think it really helps everyone who reads it. I think this photo would help someone with AIDS, someone who has been abused, basically anyone with any kind of problem and we all know that everyone has some kind of problem in their life. I just wanted to take a picture that would inspire people to live a spectacular life and not let certain things, no matter how big, take that away. I was inspired to take a photo like this when i learned about the Yellow Boat. The little boy stayed strong for his family and tried to make everything okay even though he was dieing. He was strong, proud, and he never felt sorry for himself. I just really wanted my photo to include that in some way after i heard the story. Overall i think the photo turned out nicely. <3

AIDS Awarness Project

For this project we had to take a photo that had to do with AIDS awareness. I had a difficult time thinking of an idea but after doing some research, i found what i wanted to do. For this picture i painted Casey and Marina's hands and took the photos with the strobe. I wanted to do this picture with red hands to represent the AIDS virus and the joining together of hands to show strength. I think that the quote fits perfectly with the picture and it really gets the message across that i wanted. Overall i think that this photo turned out really well, i could have been more creative but i think this does make a statement. <3

Still Life

This was kind of a side project that i did during class when i had nothing else to shoot. I thought that this photoshoot was extremely helpful and that i learned a few skills that i didnt have before. I learned how to work better with lighting and how one little change makes a huge differece. I also learned that if you move the smallest thing in a photo, it changes the whole picture and composition. I think that these photos turned out really well for never shooting a still life before but i know that with more practice they could be even better. <3
