Portraits

A model looks blankly into the camera.

This model looks like shes deep into a story.

I love the motion in this photo. It makes the emotion more genuine.

This model looks a little discombobulated.

This photo expresses genuine boredom.

A very funny photographer took this photo.

I loved the idea of this motion photography because I think it produces the realest emotion.

This assignment was to mimic Richard Avedon and try to capture genuine emotion.

Macroworlds 2

This photo depicts a soldier about to smash an animal

In this photo, a mountain climber rappels down a steep face of a mountain

This is a poisonous frog in its natural habitat

This is a giraffe in a field

This is a mugshot of a storm trooper.

In this picture, knights storm the gates to the home of the devil

This assignment was to re think our approach to the macro world idea and come up with new scenes.

Microworlds

This is a photo of a Sea God with creatures and women from his home world. 

This is supposed to be an astronaut taking his last steps on Earth before he boards a space shuttle.

A brave knight takes on a dragon with the help only of his horse.

This photo depicts neighborhood violence.

This represents the life of a poacher on the job.

This depicts ancient Egyptian life with a surreal background. The artist of the background is called Spacepainter and I used his work in the picture of the Sea God.

This project was to create a microworld type of idea where we use small figures with different backgrounds to try and tell stories or symbolic images.

Rule of Thirds

This subject represents the rule of thirds by being in one third of the photo with a blank background.

The soup is the focus while the monsters make an interesting background.

The high definition of the dark mesh contrasts well with the white stain.

The blue stain is a strong focus compared to the white background and the light ring adds to the focus of the picture.

This subject is focused on the left side of the picture and the cross of the cement adds texture to the smoothness of the ground.

The street art shines against the black background and creates a cool effect.

This project was to focus on the rule of thirds principle in which the focus of the photo is in one third of the image, rather than the middle.

Repetition and Depth

This is the support beam of a shelf structure.

This is the border of a doorway that creates and interesting pattern with the curve of the entrance.

These are stacked cup lids in a coffee house that make an interesting photo with the light in the background.

Three people on a bench in the exact same position, right down to the smartphone.

A fence that separates the street from the front door of an apartment building.

A shoe with an interesting stitching pattern that curves out of view. The material of the shoe gives the image a soft texture that warms up the rest of the image, even through the black and white.

                                   This assignment was to capture repetition and depth.

Leading Lines

This is a post covered in staples. The staples give the image more texture.

This is a support beam with a cloudy background sky. The light from the sky makes a cool glow on the painted metal.

This is another post with a no smoking sticker. The interesting bit is how the clouds look much like smoke themselves.

This picture was taken inside the creases of a wall with the leading lines drawing the eye to the man in the background.

This photo of a ping pong net combines the idea of leading lines and repetition. The white stripe gives the image contrast.

These are boards from a construction site. The leading lines end quite abruptly.

This assignment was to find leading lines in and around my community. The lines draw the eye from one side of the frame to another, leading up to a background, if there is one.

3x3

This is an angle from below a construction site which shows the overlapping boards and cloudy sky

The focus in this picture is on the post head but involves the out of focus girl in the background.

In this picture, the dark colors make it hard to read what was posted on the pole.

This photo highlights the almost surreal transparency of clear tropical waters.

This is a flat perspective of a bottle top on a table, and accents the ripples in the metal.

This is another angle on the bottle top, more focused on the logo and the color contrast of the red on the blue table.

Two people stand at the top of a small stairway and provokes a strong feeling of walking out of the dark, into the light.

This is a sunset on a beach in the Carribean. The light creates an interesting color change in the sky, water, and sand.

The focus on this photo is the dark colored bottle which strongly contrasts the colorful background, almost as if it doesn't belong.

This project was to focus on an idea of 3x3 that highlights different angles and backgrounds.
