Peek a Boo

Forts.... they are fun no matter how old you are. This Picture was used as one of my rule of thirds projects, by putting Macayla in the right hand side of the picture it makes it more appealing to the eye.

Macaroo

This is a portrait of my best friend Macayla, She thought the leaves were really big and I decided to cut two eye holes and make a mask. I used this picture as a symmetrical one because it is even on both sides and has leading lines.

The Doctor is in

I wish this picture wasn't so blurry. It is taken of my neighbor and her little sister. Everyone remembers being little and playing with stethoscopes truly believing that you could hear the other persons heart beat. She stuck it on her sisters chest and the room went silent so she could listen. Talk about a kodak moment!

A Splash of Class

My aunt gave me this necklace holder and pearl necklace for Christmas last year. Its really special to me because they are real pearls. I was sitting in my room and out of the corner of my eye I saw this and got the idea to take this picture. I put it on a pile of clothes that I covered with a white sheet. I set up a light to create a shadow. We were working on light and manipulating it in different ways to create eye appealing images.

Things are always different than they seem

This silhouette is of a bendable ball that can be expanded. It was taken for my light project and I had my neighbor hold it up to the sky. My teacher asked if I could make him a copy of this picture so he could put it on the wall. I'm very proud of this picture and its one of my favorites.

What would I do with out my mom?

"Say cheese......."

My mom hates this picture. The reason she hates it is because its uncomfortable for her to not smile. I told her to look normal and you could see the pain in her face trying not to smile.

"A La Make-up"

This was the first picture I took on my reel. The reason I took this was she was in her natural state. She was getting ready for the photo shoot and had to glamour it up before I took the pictures.

"Hiding in Corners"

I wasn't very creative in the photo shoot. She kept asking me what to do and all i kept saying was don't look at the camera. these pictures have no resemblance to my mom what so ever. My mom is a happy, smiley person and in all of these pictures she looks depressed. I chose This one to print because I liked the shadow on the wall and how her eyes are darkened out.

One thing project

"Tree Hugger"

This is a tree in my front yard. I got the idea to use this on my one thing project because I thought it would be a cool texture. When doing this project i had no idea how to use my camera so I'm really lucky That any turned out at all.

"A Heart in the Tree for Me"

I thought this photo turned out really cool despite of it being blurry and dark. I took the picture at an angle and tried not to get to much going on in the back ground. This project was fun but I wish I had spent more time on it.

Going out to lunch

This picture is of a back of a car. I tried to capture me in the back of the window but because i was holding the can it turned out blurry. It was fun to go off on our first adventure and be creative!

Pinhole Portrait

This photo was very difficult to take! I decided to make a funny face and after 20 seconds I regretted it... This was taken using a old coffee tin can with a small hole drilled in the front. When the tape is removed it allows light to fill the can and expose the photo paper with the image. This project was assigned to teach us how light captures our image onto the photo paper. the reason it is blurry is because no matter how hard you try and stay still, you still have to breath. Its impossible to stay perfectly still but for that reason we speed up our shutter speed so we can capture that exact moment.

Diamonds are a girls best friend.

This Photo-gram I made using a giant glass diamond and other various items. I moved the items around to create alternating shades of gray. I made this picture first; when I just started learning the photo process.

Let it bless

This picture we took with the enlargers. We brought in various items from home and placed them on our photo paper. We experimented with the timing of light exposure, to see how long we had to leave the light on to get an absolute black. This project was very fun and a good way to experiment with our new enlargers.
