Shadows

Assignment Description: This week I chose to do the shadow assignment. We were told to take "Photographs that play on the contrast between shadows and light." I got two of my friends to stand in the stairwells in the school and therefore create shadows with the light coming in from the windows.


Photo Descriptions: Each one of these pictures is a picture of two of my friends standing in the school stairwells. They are just standing in different poses.





What I Learned: During this assignment I learned that shadows are a great way to express artistic skills.

School Context Project

Gimp Project Dance Studio

For this project we were supposed to take a normal picture and turn it into something outrageous for it's contexts. The context was required to be the school. I turned a normal school hallway into a dance studio. There is a mirror, a place to dance, and a little sitting area. I think it looks a lot like my studio actually.

Portrait

Assignment Description: For this assignment I chose to do a portrait picture. The sheet we got told  us "This is a portrait of a person. Using the light that the subject is in show the personality of the subject in this photo. Fill the frame." The girl I took pictures of is my friend Jacqui. She is a very fun-loving person. I feel that these pictures show her positive personality. I put them in black and white just because I thought they looked better that way. Jacqui decided that she wanted to take pictures in a bunch of different outfits.



Photo Descriptions:
-The first picture is of Jacqui in her living room.
-For the second one she is sitting in a chair in her bedroom.
-The third picture is of Jacqui sitting in front of their storage area outside.
-This picture is of Jacqui in her backyard just being goofy.
-The fifth picture if a close up of Jacqui in her bedroom again.
-The sixth picture is also of Jacqui being goofy in her bedroom again.


 

What I Learned: During this assignment I learned that you can really create a certain mood in a picture just by the actions of your subject.

Motion Picture

Today we went outside and tried to capture motion. Another student went on a bike and we were to follow them with our camera as they rode by. This was supposed to make then be in focus and the background be blurry.
