Draft 2

Draft 2
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. My photos changed since my Draft 1 photos by becoming more colorful and abstract.

    I really like the blurred photos because you can still kind of make out what the photo is portraying. I really like the color peeking through. It is also cool how there are reflections from the cars. Great job this week!

    These photos are so cool. It takes a lot of observing to see what the photo is and I think that's a very unique thing. Keep up the great work!

    Interesting. I think you could go a little bit less overboard with the film grain, but other than that, keep experimenting with this. I'd say you could get some more vivid colors involved so the photo has a less dull vibe.

    These are really blurred! Maybe go a little lighter on the blurring, but I really like the spots of color, it addes a nice touch to the blurriness. Keep on blurring

    Like I commented before, I really think you should try taking pictures at night to get the blurred lights of a cityscape. Otherwise, I really like your pictures and the vibrant colors. Additionally, maybe consider adding people in to the frame.

    These are very good Max. I still like the images that have more light to them, but the ones with trees are also very good. I wonder if you could blur over people??

    I think your photos are really good. I think they have this very different vibe to them. You did a good job.

    Good job Max! I think you met your goal of simple shapes and simple colors. I think your best images are the ones with geometric shapes that stand out within the photo. Also, the abstract images of light within your pictures make the image more interesting. Good work!

    I suggest more flashes and popping lights

    Very simple subject yet tells such a complex story. A job well done. Good job of adding things like grain to your photos to make them POP.

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.
