Narratives

This weeks assignment was to tell as troy in a series of photos. We tried to tell a story or scenario as much as possible through imagery. Using models and props, we tried to make them as storylike as possible.

Micro worlds

This weeks assignment was to use toys and action figures to portray real life situations and almost make them intense. even though toys are children's items, we tried to make them as real as possible in the scenes we created.

Portraits

This week's assignment was to capture a person true emotion, without posing. To do this, we may need to take time to ask the individual model some questions to get their true emotions and feelings. All the photos are in black and white so the colors of the photos would not take away the emotion and mood of the photos. Also, the background was chosen to be all white, also for the reason of taking away the attention from the model. These ideas are based off of Richard Avedon's portraits. during his time at work.

Motion

This weeks assignment painting with light and motion blurring. The object of blurring the photo was to make it look more dynamic than the usual photos we take in class, that are really defined. For light painting, the camera was set so the shutter speed was really slow, and the camera could only catch the light emitted from the flashlight or another source of light. I think the results are really cool!

Depth 2

 One part of this week's assignment is to show depth within a photo by finding repeating patterns in objects. We also tried to incorporate the idea of leading lines into the photo, also to show depth. In some cases, the pattern pf repetition in the photos create leading lines and show a lot of depth.

The other assignment for this week was to use the foreground/ background concept in our photos, and focus on either the foreground which was really close the the lens, or the background. Not both. the objective by doing this is to make the subject of the picture that you want to focus on really jump out and be the first thing you notice when you see the picture.

Leading Lines

This week's assignment was to use leading lines to create depth within the photos we took. The point was to make a vanishing point and make the images look endless and really deep. Getting really low and near the lines helps to do this.
