Winter Portfolio
I think that my project has definitely gotten better ever since I first started. I started to try to get more color in my photos, and have those colors create abstract shapes. I also tried to keep a balance of light in my photos because I did not want the viewer's eye to draw too far out to a place where there's too much light. I also learned that things that emit color are better to take pictures of than objects that just have color in them. I tried to make my photos very simplistic too, and this makes the viewer calm. I'm really proud of how my project has turned out.

Draft 5

Draft 5 My project is based on 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 4 photos by trying to have more simple shapes that have conflicting colors. I continued to try to create shapes in my photos so that the focus is not too drawn out into the corner by some bright light. I also read Casey's comments which suggested me to take these photos at night t...

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. ...

Composition 1- Triangle, Diagonal, and Rule of Thirds

Triangle Taking triangular photos requires taking pictures of landscapes or objects in which three distinct subjects, acting as the corners, form a triangular shape. I attempted to take triangular photos by finding objects that formed a triangular shape, or simply finding triangles in architecture. Diagonal A diagonal photo is a photo where there is essentially a line made by a subject, which goes diagonally through the photo, typically from one end to the other. I illustrated diagonal lines through hand railings, power lines, and the line separating an apartment building to the sky, shown in the last picture. Rule of Thirds A Rule of Thirds photo is one where there is one distinct subject on one side of the photo, horizontally or vertically, and when the photo grid cuts up the sections into thirds, the distinct subject should be exclusively in one of the columns or rows of the photo that is not in the middle. I illustrated the Rule of Thirds hor...
