point and shoot project

taken from a tree, first is a shot of my shadow in the tree's shadow. makes it seem as a peter pan like person is watching over the person in the edge of the photo. or could be a stalker waiting for the right moment to pounce and attack.
the second photo is of a girl under a tree. the composer of the photo doesn't work because it is an akward angle of Jennifer, the shadows seem to be sprouting up her legs. it makes her seem short and possible laying down. i prefer te first to the second.

portrait article

A portrait is described as capturing some sort of feelings in the picture from a person in a particular place or environment. in this case, Sharma enjoys the shower as a setting because it helps relax the subject or model and it is easier for their emotions to flow as easily as the water over their bodies.

i would want to take a picture in a location that is calming such as a river or a pond because water naturally calms people. but at school, i would have to choose the back hill because the green tall grass and tall trees gives the model the feeling of escape and relaxes them a bit. i believe a portrait there would look better than most locations on this campus.

Timeline

So i wanted to be different so i made my time line a clock to symbolize how time keeps going round and round. Black and white was the starter and is still done today.

I originally made my time line on an actual clock but it was accidentally packed on the moving van for Washington so spent all of Thursday night creating a rough replica. (i had bought a neon clock from a thrift store, welded on picture frames and put the pictures on so they lit up every hour inside the frames)
I did the basic history of photography. First of everything from first ever photo, to first ever photo from space, which also shows human movement forward. i didn't have descriptions when i first brought it into class so i took a black pen and just wrote what the photo was of, if it was the first of something. And for good measure since i wouldn't find the first photo shop image, i just put my first image into my time line of a cherry cat eating a bee. Since i used regular glue, i used puffy paint so when the edges come up, it hopefully will stay down due to the paint, and makes it look a little bit better.

Art photo

Description: music dude is playing while the video guy records the performing dancer

Analyze: slightly angled up with everything in focus and sharp. not high contrast in the photo all together.

interpret: It shows how all the arts compliment each other at the school, and the low contrast between the performers and the school in the background signifies how when the students perform, they become one with the school and their art stands out (the sax, the limbs of dancer, and the camera).

Judge: There could be a bit more contrast in the models and the background and maybe get the edge of the pillar that the camera man was on would give it more feeling otherwise a decent photo

Portrait

Describe: My sister is playing on the computer at night with a lamp lighting her up.

Analyze: A Downward angle with obvious light from the lamp illuminating her.

Interpret: a girl who is addicted to the computer they play on it 24/7

Judge: its not that great of a photo. too much clutter and objects interfering within the boundries and the main feature. could have gotten a better angle and included the hands.

ORIGINAL


SOFTEN BRUSH












Description: top is original photo. left is my soften brush. right is the brush photo+text.
analyze: wierd creepy photo of me doin a "cute" pose.

i like the softened picture because it looks vivid with the colors and all. i actually wish that i could have put both pictures together because it would look better because i dont like how the other picture is faded.

photoshop mes

i had to do this at home so wasn't the best quality or aligned right, but did what was necessary. there are four mes, the weird crazy me is in the top left, the worker on the right, the wannabe in the bottom left, and the festive dorky in the bottom right.
