First Project

Our first project was based on depth perception and in my photo it focuses on my model and the leaves. Though it turned out a bit bright, i really like it because you can see my model's face clearly and certain leaves are in and out of focus making the picture look interesting and serene feeling. I would say this photograph is figurative.
The picture is horizontal, with the model, jaida, deeper in the background and leaves feathering in the front of the photo. The image is in and out of focus, which wasn't really done intentionally, and is bright but dull in a sense. Shapes seen in this picture are the triangular diamond formed leaves and the circular shape of the model's head, and everything just sort of ties in nicely. A feeling or tone this image emotes is like a warm calmness that should make the viewer feel somewhat comforted and calm. The image turned out very bright and was taken outdoors. In my opinion, for my first project, this work was successful. I really enjoyed taking the photos and the whole experience of developing them was so interesting and difficult but fun too. The photo doesn't really have a message and does not convey much but I still feel that the picture was beautiful and I am looking forward to taking and developing more photographs.(:
