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.

Final grid

I chose this grid because I thought it had interesting colors, textures and lines. The photos are all closeups of leaves from around my neighborhood. They are all different kinds of leaves which make the grid interesting to look at. I tries to make it so the vanes of the leaves almost lead into each other. This grid reminds me of fall because of the colors and subject of the photos. The look of the grid often draws my eye to it. I enhanced the color and clarity slightly in lightroom.

Jacob Reese Photography

This photo was taken by Jacob Reese. He often photographed child labor. His pictures show the truth of what was happening in the world. They are intriguing to look at.

3 of my favorite photos

I love this photo. This is an example of a close up. The colors make the flower stand out because it is so bright as opposed to the dark green background behind it. The angle shows an interesting view on the flower that most people wouldn't see normally.

I like the colors in the photo. The contrast between the bright and the dark makes the plant stand out and catch the attention of the viewer of the photo. This was an example of diagonals. The plant creates the diagonal lines from one side of the frame to the other.

This photo really stands out to me. This is a section of a fountain in Washington Park. The background isn't distracting and makes the fountain stand out. The detail in this section of the fountain makes the photo very intriguing to look at. The fact that the fountain is dark and the background is light makes the photo interesting aswell.
