I chose these photos because I feel it shows the type of photographer I am. I really like to shoot objects up close and with unique angles. I also like color and use that to draw peoples' attention to the main focal point. My favorite photos this semester is my still life with the ice cream facing down, also I like the second formal portrait of my friend Katya while she is wearing mud on her face, finally I like the second informal portrait where I focused on Ande's face up close. I like that particular ice cream photo, because it shows a lot of colors while still seeing the texture of the ice cream cone. I also like how your eye goes straight towards the mess of ice cream and cone because I edited the background to make it blacker. I like Katya's photo because I like how hair is and how she is running her finger through it. Overall, I just really enjoy how she looks in the mud. She did very well when I shot her for formal portraits. Ande's photo I mainly like because of how the wind blew her hair. That along with her facial expression, both really make this picture cool. I tried to choose photos from a variety of different units, so it could show that I used all the compositional elements. I feel rule of thirds, leading lines, repetition with variety, value, and texture are all displayed in these photos. The thing I'm missing is the mix between up-close and also farther-back photos. Although I really like zooming up on photos, what I want to work on next year in photo 2 is moving back and getting a good picture that way. Also like I just said, the thing that's too repetitive is the closeness of the photos. Overall, my favorite assignment was the formal portraits. I had a lot of fun with playing around with different props and features in the dark room. I also was very lucky to have a photogenic friend. However I'd love to continue to shoot not only portraits but other photos outside of school because I've very much have enjoyed this class.
