fashiiiiiion



This assignment was all about fashion, and I never realized how difficult that would be to shoot. Each of these photos has a similarity and that would be the "Diva" ring my model was wearing. That was my main focus in these shots. Though in the third picture it would appear to be the shoes that would be the selling point. In these photos you can see different backgrounds and the model (my sister, Alexis) either looking at the camera or away in a distance.
In these photos, you can see the shapes of the model's face and body and curves and connections of the ring. In the first photo there are lines and edges, in the second there are many lines and different angles. In the third, it is from a downward angle wear you can practically see the model, from head to toe. Theses photos were intentional as I placed the model just so and climbed around like a crazy person trying to get the shot wanted.
These images have warm light as I took them in the afternoon. In some of these photos, I have over exposure of the sun as I wanted it to be like this. These photos were taken outdoors.
I would like to think these photographs were successful in fulfilling the assignment. I personally admire them and think they are fun and colorful. I enjoyed this assignment and will never take another like it lightly. It was not easy finding something on the model to focus on and then going with it.

landscapes #2



For my second set of landscape photos, they appear a bit different from my first though much rock structure is still persistent in view.in these images you can see a bit more landscape and definition and design of the rocks and shape the creates around them. These images are figurative.
In these photos, one can see the circles and curves of the multiple rocks and the deep pockets and crevices surrounding the earth. Also, there is a plain picture of some natural design on the rock. Tones are natural. Things in this photo were intentional and just how I wanted them to be.
The light in the images, alike the others, is not too bright and had to be edited as it was gloomy and overcast day.
I like these pictures. I have never really paid attention to taking landscape photos so this was a new experience for me as a photographer. I was lucky enough to stumble upon a beautiful location and with time I will learn to take better pictures of the world.

lanscape #1



I am so indecisive when it comes to photos but here are just a few of the many landscape images I took. In these photos you can see rock structures and the detail of the grain and matter. The colors of the rock blend and melt together, which gives this figurative photo a warm glow.
Shapes to be seen in these photos consists of mostly lines, and dots and curves and ripples and ridges and edges, etc. Some shadows are visible, though due to the overcast weather, there isn't much reason for shadows to be cast. All angles and positions were intentional as I wanted the photos to turn out this way, as I preferred for some sections to be in and out of focus.
The light in these images is mostly edited as when these were taken, it was gloomy and darker and a cold tint was obvious on the original photos. I edited the pictures in hopes of giving them a warmer light and feel.
I find these photos to be successful and aesthetically pleasing as they turned out the way I had hoped. Though I am disappointed I did not capture more landscape, I still am satisfied with the outcome of these landscape images.

Landscape photo shoot ideas



Our landscape assignment will be do soon and it was our job today to find inspiration. I really like these photos and that is because of the gorgeous clouds! In a book, our teacher showed us, there was a very nice landscape picture showing mostly sky, and it was lovely and interesting but a cloud would have added so much more to the photo.
For this landscape photo shoot assignment, i really want to capture clouds and the architecture of some landscape like the beach or rocks or both. I feel so inspired by some of these photos and am really excited to find something!
From looking at these, I have gathered that when it comes to landscape, composition is key and its all about the area and what your photograph will be of. I already have ideas and can't wait to execute them.
