Digital Altered Images

1. this is the digital altered project. This project i had to take an image of my subject, and take another image off the internet, and edit it to whereas a cool effect.

2.i didn't really chose this style of photography, it was what was required.

3.i think the images at the top were successful because they are blended well together, and the lighting is good i most of them, and they came out really well.

4. i think the bottom pictures were not so successful because the way they kind of look orly edited, and not good angles.

5. i would make sure that the angles and lighting are both good. i would take more time into editing the pictures. mainly because i feel like they were shot from higher angles, which makes the pictures look kind of out of place and strange.

6. this project helped me learn that lighting really effects a picture, and editing takes time and practice.

Blur Motion

1. this project is blurred motion. when certain parts of the subject in an image is blurry from a certain motion, when you slow down the iso.

2. this style wasn't really chosen, it was a class project but it was really cool.

3.these images were successful because they were blurry. they look really blurry, while the rest of the subject isn't blurry.

4. these images were not successful because they were too blurry or not blurry enough, and they looked really bad. it was really hard to figure out how to shoot the images, so me and my group struggled the whole time.

5. i would shoot this project differently mainly because i turned how to do blurred picture a few weeks ago when i was messing with the setting in the camera.

6. i learned that photography is not easy at all. and if you haven't practiced or learned the steps correctly, the picture can go bad really fast.

Forced Perspective

1.this is forced perspective, where to set subjects up, to trick they eye, and make things seem the way they are really not.

2. i didn't chose this style of photography, it was a class project.

3. i think these top images were successful, because it really does trick the eye and make you think that people are actually little, or ray is actually holding the sun.

4. i think the bottom images are not successful because they didn't look like they were holding things, or the placement of subjects were completely off.

5. i would shoot this project differently by placing the subjects in the right places. being that they weren't in the right place makes them look off and also blurred out some of the subjects.

6. i learned that forced perspective is really had to do. it is hard to trick the eye and make it seem like someone is standing on a sprite bottle, or holding the vending machine in their hand.

Still Life

1. this project is still life images. where we have a lot of different items, and put them together and make them look nice. like a portrait of cool items.

2. i didn't chose this project, it was a class assignment.

3. i think these images were successful because it looks really nice. there were a lot of different items in the pictures, but they go well really nice together, and the lighting that we used looks really nice for the themes.

4. they bottom pictures were successful but not as much successful because the lighting was off. i think if we used colored lights for the bottom ones they would have looked better.

5.i would shoot this project now by using more colored lights, and using different angles. we kind of stuck to the front ward images but maybe we should have tried a birds eye view image.

6. i learned that a lot of random thins put together can form a really beautiful picture. its not exactly what items you have int he picture that matter, its more the way you put them together and the placement of them.

Independent Project #1

1. this project is my independent project #1. it was an aesthetic style of photography.

2. i chose this type of photography because i love the beauty of the subjects and items in the images, and the way i edited them were cool.

3. these to images were successful because they look realistic and not so much "staged" and its really cool.

4. the bottom images were successful but not as successful because the subjects could have had better placings.

5. i would shoot this project differently by placing the subjects in better places.

6. i learned that there is beauty in everything around us we just need to capture the moment and look around.

Independent project #2

1. this is my independent project #2. with an aesthetic street style photography

2.i chose this style of photography because i like the urban vibe of the picture. i like downtown images and street photography so i decided to shoot it myself.

3. i think these images were successful because the angle of the street was really nice and the images look really cool.

4. i think the images were not as successful because i feel like i could have taken more pictures of the streets but it was hard to find good places.

5. i think in order to shoot the images better i will take more time to find good areas downtown, and good places on pretty streets.

6. i learned from this project that downtown is not always just a lot of homeless people chilling on the street.

Independent Project #3

1. this project is my independent project #3. in this project i did silhouettes of pretty much anything that looks good. but mainly street items or buildings and nature.

2. i did i chose this style of photography because i like the way silhouettes look. it is really pretty.

3. the top images were successful because the images were really pretty and they are god outlines of the subjects.

4. the images were not as successful because the pictures could have been better subjects but they were sort of successful.

5. what i learned from this project is that for silhouettes you have to shoot at a certain time to get the right pictures.

6. this project made me learn that silhouette pictures are really pretty but you have to have the right timing.

Independent Project #4

1. this project is independent project #4. it is more of a tumblr/aesthetic lifestyle photography.

2. i chose this project because i wanted to take images items and things you see daily, and things that are beautiful just depending on how you look at it.

3. i think these images were successful because they were really pretty and i edited them really well.

4. i think the pictures were not as successful because i think that the images could bet a little bit better.

5. i would shoot this image differently because i would like to have the image look better.

Independent Project #5

1. this is my independent project #5 . my theme of the project was family and nature because i love both.

2. there wasn't really a "style" of the pictures i took, but the images were themed on family and nature. i chose this because it was a great memory and a day i would want to remember forever.

3. i think these images are successful because they show how beautiful life can be, and they came out great.

4. i think the pictures came out great but some not so great because they could have been captured at better angles.

5. i would shoot this project differently to make it successful by getting better angles, and making sure the lighting is good.

Independent Project #6

1. this is my independent project #6. my theme of the project was beauty and the beast.

2. my style of photography was in a way advanced lighting, i used fairy lights in the images.

3. i think my pictures were very successful because the lighting was really good, the placing of the items were really good, and the editing was good.

4. i think the images were successful but some not as successful because the angles could've been better.

5. i would shoot differently by using more angles of the images, maybe adjusting more settings in the images.

6. this project helped me learn more about advanced lighting, you have to have a really dark setting in order to get good images and you have to adjust more settings in the camera.
