Portraits

The above pictures are of my mom. They were taken in our back yard in the fall. I chose my mom because she was willing to let me take pictures of her.

This photo is of my dad. I took this picture in our kitchen while he was making dinner. I took this picture because he was didn't want me to take pictures of him, so he looked a little mad when I did.

I took this picture of my sister in the kitchen one afternoon. I took this picture because she is always making different facial expressions, so I knew that i could get some good pictures of her.

This picture is of one of my friends. I took this on the bus on the way home from school one day. I took this picture because he hates it when people take pictures of him, so he makes a lot of facial expressions.

self portraits

I wanted my self portraits to show the different sides of me. They show the nicer side of me, but some of them bring out the mad, lonely, and sad sides if my personality. I love the third multiple exposure photo because it shows three completely different sides of me. The main photo in it is of the regular me, but surrounding it is a photo of me screaming and one of me smiling.

WEB ASSIGNMENT #5: Beauty

How would you define beauty in photography?
In photography, beauty is when the subject of the photo is captured when they are being their true self. If a photo is too posed, then it is not as beautiful as a photo of a person just being them-self.

What are the characteristics of photographic beauty?
For a photo to be beautiful, is needs to have good lighting, color, and composition, and it also needs to tell a story.

Can something "ugly" be photographed and be considered beautiful?
Yes, ugly things can be photographed as beautiful, but it might take more work. With the right perspective, colors, blur, and angles, "ugly" things can be made to look beautiful. In this photo, an old rusty barn was turned into a great picture by having the colors changed into black and white.







Quintessentially beautiful photograph.

In this picture, I love how clearly you can see the water drops on the surface of the leaf. I also like how clear the one leaf is, and how everything else is out of focus.

 

 

In this photo, I like how you can see the hand holding the candle, but the main focus is on the candle. I also like the simple black background.

 

In this photo, I like how there is a strand of hair that is out of focus, but the eye is in focus. I also like the reflection that you can see in the eye.

 

I like the colors in this photo and the shadow of the coffee bean.

 

In this photo, I like how there are only a few notes in the middle that are in focus. I also like how you can't see an end to the music notes, and it looks like it goes on forever.

 

I like the colors in this photo. I also like how there is a spider web on the blue crayon that I didn't see when I was taking the photo.

 

I absolutely love this photo and the simplicity of it. I like how the fence is in focus, but everything else is just a slight blur in the background. I also like how the sky is blue and keeps getting lighter and lighter until it fades into the white of the sun.

 

I like all of the different shades of green in the grass, and how there are only a few blades of grass that are in focus. I also like the water dropplets on the grass.

 

In this photo, I like how the light reflects off the wall and the shadows on the wall.

 

I love the blue reflection in the eye in this picture. I just like pictures of eyes.
