light

This photo was taken by the waterfront in Portland. It shows black light when the subject is lit up. I like this photo because the light in the sky makes an interesting shape and Houston is in a fun pose. 

This is my silhouette. It was taken in Portland of Houston. I like that the sun can actually be seen in the back. I cropped this photo so it was just her and nothing else.

This is my chiaroscuro. It is of an elephant statue in my house. I like that the trunk is the focus and it has  an interesting texture. I thought the lighting made it look very dramatic. 

This is a picture of reflection. It was taken in my bathroom where I angled the camera so the reflection in the mirror was shown. I like that people can see more of the counter in the reflection.

This is my picture of shadow. I edited the photo so the focus was more on the gate and its shadow. I like the lines that this photo has. It was taken at my house.

Panorama

This is my panorama. It is of my backyard when it snowed. I took the multiple pictures and put them together to make it look like one picture. I made the picture slightly brighter and applied the edits to all of the other photos so they didn't look different from each other. 





Multiple exposure

This is my HDR. I took multiple photos photos of the same subject with different things being properly exposed. I tried to get both the buildings and the sky and clouds exposed properly.

Motion Assignment


This is my all motion picture. I took it out a window of my car. When I took the picture I moved the camera and caused the lights of the car behind me to blur. This photo was taken at night. I love the lighting and the lines in this picture


This is my freeze action photo. I adjusted the shutter speed so it would freeze the moving image. I took this picture at the park. Then I edited it to make it black and white. I like the mood that it creates.

This is my slow motion shot. It is a picture of my dog doing a trick he learned where he spins around. I added split toning and cropped it in light room. I like the lines that are made and the look of the subject in motion.
This is my panning shot. I took it by  angling my camera to the diagonal while someone ran down the stairs. In light room I edited the colors and exposure. I like that only her upper body is clear and that her legs a more like the background.

Diptych and triptych

I took both of these photos in Portland Oregon. They are both of bike racks that have one bike in them. I increased the saturation of both and increased the contrast on the left photo. I like that both of these photos were taken in very different locations but have the same content. I also like how colorful they both are.


I took all three of these photos in Portland Oregon. They are all of the Keller fountain but at different angles. I love the shapes that they make and the colors. I increased the contrast and the brightness of the photos.

shape assignment

I took this photo at my house in Portland Oregon. It has symmetrical balance and is dominantly organic shapes.I like the design of the candlestick and the effect of the shadow in the background.


I took this photo in Portland Oregon. It has asymmetrical balance. It has both organic and geometric shapes but the geometric shapes are more dominant. The small circles and the triangle are what stands out to me. I love the pattern that the plants make.
