Draft 1

Draft 1
My project is based off of Uta Barth's photos. I did this by fully zooming in and going fully out of focus. By doing this, I was able to create simple shapes with simple colors. I wanted to mix colors and geometric shapes in a way to create a neat abstract image. I added the PicMonkey Film Grain filter to each of my photos in order to make my photos more simplistic. My themes are very simplistic and calming, and they make the viewer really think about the photo and try to interpret what the subject of the photo is. After my first day of taking photos, I learned that street lights are very good subjects for my photos, as they emit an unusual and prominent color.

    This is super cool. I like how even though these are blurred you can still kind of see the city. Great Job!

    I really like your photos with the lights, my suggestion is to have more photos with lights in the street that create that cool effect of them being in a perfect circle.

    Good work. I just think that because the shapes are simpler, you need to compensate more by adding more color to some of these. For instance, the second one. I think it will give a more vague but appealing atmosphere.

    I really like these photos especially for the colors! In the future, you should make those colors even more vibrant. It would be interesting if you started taking pictures at night too so you can really get the shape of the lights.

    This is so interesting. I like the fact that I can't tell what I'm looking at, but at the same time, I have some idea. I really like the way lights look blurred, so maybe you could add more of that. Other than great job

    You did a good job of making it blurry, but also visible enough to where we can sort of see what the photo is about, nice work

Spring Project 3

Spring Project 3 I went all out for this series. I had taken many photos over the past weeks, and I was able to edit all of them this week. I'm really proud of how this week turned out because I created a sense of flow in each image, despite having a wider range of subjects in the series. I used more natural lighting this time too, and I avoided creating silhouettes. One of the problems with this specific post is that the dimensions of each image are not consistent. This has been a very fun but tedious project to work with.

Fall Series 3

Fall Series 3: Nathan Lyons I am basing my project on Nathan Lyons' photos. His visual recipe is: odd subjects out of their natural habitat, dark and urban backgrounds, shadows, and black and white. What make his photos have a general theme of oddness are how most of his subjects he takes pictures are usually out of context and out of place. His photos never featured or showed any "real" person, but could have featured "not real" or "fake" people. A "real" person is a direct picture of a living person, while a "not real" or "fake" person could be a physical copy of an image of someone, or a mannequin. There wasn't really anything "living" in his photos. He did this in order to create an isolated feel to his images, as a photo with no "real" human face makes the viewer feel secluded.

Composition 2- Leading Line, Repetition, and Depth Staging

Leading Line A leading line in a picture is essentially a photograph where there is a shape of a line which moves from the front of the photo to the back. This line helps guide the viewer to the subject in the photo, which is at the end of the line. I took photos of leading lines using sidewalks, pipelines, streets, and architecture. Repetition A photo with repetition is one in which there is the same subject being repeated and going in the same direction, making the further subjects smaller than the closer subjects bigger. I illustrated repetition through a fence, stairs, garage doors, and apartment windows. Depth Staging Depth staging is when there are two subjects, one distinctly in the front and one distinctly in the back. Depth staging creates perspective for the viewer. I made examples of depth staging with cars on the street being in the back, and having various subjects in the front.
