Team Celebration

Team Celebration
This post is all about our team. The many great photographers in our class and celebrating their unique styles. The following are pictures of each person in our class and a little blurb about their photography styles and themselves...

Thayer-

Thayer's photography is very unique. She does a great job of capturing emotions in her photos. All of her work show different emotions and emote different feelings from her audience. She always has good lighting in her photographs that reflect the emotions in her series.

Kenna-
Kenna's photography is very interesting. Her strengths are definitely black and white photography. She has a way of evoking solitude and somberness with her photos that is very unique to her. 


Iris-
 love Iris's photography. All of her photos show so much depth and emotion. Through every unique photograph, she shows different emotions and evokes various feelings that make all her photos stronger. Many of her photos are black and white or sepia which color them with a tad of nostalgia.


Kendall-

Kendall's photography is great. All her photos reflect her enthusiasm and never-ending positivity. She creates beautiful moments with each shot, whether the shot has rain or sun. She has amazing black and white pictures as well as color photos that all evoke emotions of happiness and peace. 


Fatima-

Fatima's photography is beautiful. Many of her photos are macro mode and she captures all her subjects, whether it be an orange or a fire hydrant, with great lighting and beautiful shadows. Her black and white photos as well as her sepia images are really interesting and always evoke different emotions in the people who look at them.


Eric-

Eric has many Op Art photos. Many of these images are composed of different darker colors, like navy, dark grey and black. These images have a great "far off" and galactic feel as if they were taken in space. This also gives his viewers a sense of curiosity and wonder.

 Vlad- 
Vlad's photos are very unique. He uses an interesting effect in most of his shots called "Tilt Shift" which blurs the backgrounds of his photos and focuses on the front. Very much in the style of "foreground/background". His photos are very interesting and the colors are beautifully vivid.



Lucas-

Lucas's photos are very unique. He made a couple series' on Op Art that were very interesting. The different colors and shapes add a sense of curiosity and longing to see more in these photos.

Series Project #2 - Final

Series Project #2 - FINAL
For this final draft, I decided to take some more pictures of Kate to have more diversity in my shots and to make the overall project more dynamic. I have shots of her in different locations and those places bring out different emotions in Kate which I captured. I also used shots from the other drafts to make my project complete. Enjoy...

Extra Credit Project

Macro Photography
This project was purely for my pleasure. I love taking interesting pictures and I recently got a new camera and decided to experiment with the Macro setting on it. These are my best pictures with hardly any editing.






Series Project #2

Series Project #2 - Draft 3
In this draft, I focused on choosing the best images form all my other drafts and combining them. I added one new photo because I think it fits with these well. Throughout this whole project, I was trying to focus on the essence of Kate, and what makes her, her. I think these photos do a pretty good job showing that. Enjoy...

Series Project #2

Series Project #2 - Draft 2


For this draft, I decided to focus more on the face of Kate, rather than capturing different angles of her. I wanted her emotions to come through the lens and to transfer to the people looking at them. In some of these photos she is relaxed, in others she is wondering. All of these photos come together to attempt to show the essence of Kate.

Series Project #2

Series Project #2 - Draft 1

For this series project, I wanted to focus on the person I am taking pictures of. The subject of my photos. In my other projects, the photographs do not reflect the person, they usually reflect the events that are happening or the situation that particular person is in. Now, I wanted to focus solely on the person, and all the emotions and feelings that person portrays. For this draft, I focused on one of my closest friends, Kate Roddy.
