Draft 4

Draft 4
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 3 photos by having the impact of the grain filter on my photos be less. I tried to create shapes in my photos so that the focus is not too drawn out into the corner by some bright light. I basically tried to create an even balance in all of my photos.

    I thought you did a great job this week. I love the coloring each photo, I think the only thing you should work on it creating more of a shape in these photos. other than that I thought you did a great job.

    I think your strongest photos are the ones where there is a specific object with vivid color, like the cone, that the image is centered on. It is a lot more interesting to work on then a mish-mash palooza of random colores.

    I like how these were blurred yet you could still see a shape behind the blurriness. I also like how you could still see color in the images. You did a really good job and I think this is one of your best posts yet!

    I hold true to all of my previous comments, take photos at night of lights! You definitely show the capability of capturing bright things in dark places (like the 3rd photo of the cone), so you should do this with actual lights too (like traffic lights or car lights). You can check out a camera if you ask Mr. Whiton. Adding nighttime images to your repertoire would make the entirety of your series more dynamic.

    These are great. I love how it takes a lot of effort to see what the image is, yet the bright colors in some of them make it easy. Keep up the nice work.

    I don't understand your project, but guess it's cool. I really the pop of color in each blur, it doesn't help tell what we're looking at, but it brings a lot to the photo. keep going.

    I really like the colors used in your images. I think the more abstract images are stronger than the images like the cone which is just a single object. great work

    I like how some of the photos have very bright colors, like the red and green. It makes the photos more contrasting

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.
