Balance & Contrast 2:

Kaleidoscope 1

I used this photo of the city and cropped it to just show the upper side of these buildings and really like how it turned out. I like how the foggy look of the photo taken early in the morning makes it look lighter and more mysterious. 

Kaleidoscope 2

What I really liked about this kaleidoscope isn't just the look of the lights coming from each end, but the look of the shadows from them all coming in together and making it really look like one photo. 

Diptych 1

What I love about this diptych is that it captures a certain personality almost of Alice. I love portrait photography and the ability to show who a person is through the format of a photo and I feel that this diptych really shows that. 

Diptych 2

What I like about this diptych is that the photos were taken candidly of the same girl on different days but still show a connection to each other. I see this diptych as not two correlated photos but as one photo being a continuation of the other. 

Kaleidoscope 3

This kaleidoscope was my personal favorite just because of the shades of colors in the background and the look of the spider web seeming to weave together and the almost geometric look of it. 

Triptych

I love this triptych because all 3 photos were taken the same evening as the sky got darker and i like how the pictures showed the transition from a light sky to a light city. 

Balance & Contrast

Triptych

I like how these three photos I took at the beach recently all come together and show different looks of the water. A calm look with the sand, a colder feel from the center photo, and the last the water is a more dangerous look. 

Diptych: Contrasting Texture

I liked in this picture how the different textures of brick lined and the look of the image. 

Value

I love the colors in this photo and really like the cold foggy look it gives off. 

Scale

This photo is showing the scale of a person to the ocean and how you can see the horizon in the back depicting the size of the ocean itself. 

Color & Grids

 Random Grid 

I chose to add this grid in as extra because it is my favorite one that I made, but it didn't seem to fit any of the required grids. I like the way it looks almost like looking in a box but it is just a wall placed around itself 4 times. 

Monochromatic

I like the way this photo is all generally a tan pinkish color in different levels and the shade adds more contrast to the monochromatic scheme. I edited it this way because in certain parts you can't tell which part is from which piece of the graph & I really liked that.  

Mood

I am using this photo as my mood picture because I think the way the floor of the tennis court is illuminated and the duller color of the sky and other areas puts an interesting focus on it. 

Color Complements

I chose this photo for color complements because yellow and purple shades are across from each other and I thought it looked interesting to use the glow of the elevator lights as a color focus. 

Cool Colors

I chose this photo because all the things on the street and the editing of it make it very chaotic but the color of the sky and the buildings in the background are more solid and cool.

Anne Solange-Tardy

I love this photo and the use of light pastel colors and it give the photo a very sweet tone.

Project 30 X 2

My second subject for this project was my friend Lizzie Diamond. For these photos I decided to take the more expected approach of literally taking photos of different angles of her. In some I played around with the focus and focused on different sections to try and get a different look on each photo. In editing I did a lot of edits changing color, learning really how to do editing but most of the final edits had a different look to them. 

Project 1: 30 X 2

In project 1 my first subject was Cora Pigeon. For the majority of the photos, they were taken with her back turned. This was done on purpose as my take on the different angles was to instead put her in different scenes and places, to show an "angle" of her from one point of view. I chose to edit most of these photos by enhancing a certain color in the photo to make it a focal point in the image, or by using different black and white or colored affects to add a certain vibe that is intended for the photos.     We chose to focus on the scenery around her to make the photo, such as in the picture with the gate has an eerie look to it, and is given that angle by the lack of contrast in the photo. In the photo with the yellow taxi, I utilized the rich color schemes in the photo to make it more dynamic. It was pretty difficult to narrow down the photos to my few favorites. 

My Summer

This summer I was a counselor in training at a summer camp I have been going to for 4 years now. It's in the High Sierra Mountains in California. All the CIT's as a group got amazing opportunities to do things like go rafting on the American River and hike to the top of a waterfall. It was easily one of the best memories from this summer.
