This chair combines an ordinary object with acrylic paints creating a work of art. The texture of the layered paint combining with the rigidness of the chair creates fine lines and extreme detail. Having a greater depth of field, adds depth to the chair and intensifies the colors. This photo is one of my favorites mainly because of the contrast of light and dark colors and the dull background adds a greater vibrancy to the bright shades.

This photo shows the fibrous texture of the stiff wood contrasting with the free flowing form of the leaves. Because this photo has a narrow depth of field, it creates a focal point on the very tip of the wood where the use of paint begins. I appreciate this piece due to the variety of color, texture, and form.

Aperture: f/5.6                                     A combination of rust, metal, and water create numerous textures that make this piece appear rugged. Narrow depth of field fades out most of the image, but brings focus towards the fine details of the aged metal. Personally, this piece appears pitted and is very dim. It exhibits the multiple styles of photos i am able to take and how meticulous my pieces are.

By stacking the rocks in such a way,

I was able to create an unusual

subject making the photo more interesting.

I used a contrast of the soft

appearing ground, and the porous

texture of the rocks. Personally,

I enjoy the subject I chose and

think this piece is both simple yet

satisfying to look at.

This perspective is very intresting to look at.

You can really see how the rocks are stacked

and their forms. This photo is a little above center,

However it is the only subject in the photo

so i think it works well. I believe it has the right exposure and white balance and i’m pleased with how it came out.

To get this shot was a little difficult,

seeing that the rocks were ground

level and there was no way for me to

get underneath. However, you are still able to

tell that this is intended to be viewed from beneath.

For the most part, I am content with this piece.

The composition is nicely organized and the position

of the rocks creates a sense of controlled chaos

which is what I love about this piece and its organization.

Although taken slightly above, this photo

is angled towards downward and to the left.

Because this was my custom angle, there

was some trouble picking an angle being that you can only do so many when the subject is so close to the ground. A narrow depth of field helped the rocks really stand out against the textured, dull colored background. I like the angle of the photo and i think its easy to look at and enjoy.

This lizard, placed underneath this bench, is framed by both the bench, and the narrow depth of field by the blurred background. To me, this photo appears a little unexposed but overall, I enjoy the composure and believe its an appealing piece.

Although there is no direct object framing the vending machine, I believe that just the wall draws attention to it. The light above draws your eyes down to the subject, and the color contrast allows the machine to really stand out.

The simple contrast between the sky and the bricks colors creates a satisfying image to look at. I used the rule of thirds to draw attention to the metallic edge of the brick wall.

This piece uses leading lines to draw you into the focal point which is the crossed rope on the tree. The trees and planks together create a perfect arrow like shape pointing at the focal point.

Both leaves draw your eyes up, toward the top of the front leaf. This photo is simple, yet shows a contrast between the bright greens, and the deteriorating brown color of the tree. The texture created by the lines in the leaves soothes the eyes of the viewer and gives the piece a calm feel.

This portrait shows the model to be serious and stubborn. The matching of the wall to her shirt creates a simplistic feel. Although there are shadows, I do not believe them to be so harsh that they take away from the photo.

The simplicity of this photo is what I most enjoyed. Just the subject looking off as if in deep thought. The plain of her hair and the wall allow the intense blue of her shirt to stand out.

I used my younger brothers as the subjects for these photos. Because they are far apart in age, but look similar, I decided to create a mirrored piece reflecting how children at any age would rather be eating plates of licorice pasta with chocolate meatballs and soda instead of a meal that would be good for them.

Throughout this article, one point is made clear: lighting matters. It is one of the most crucial elements that can make or break a photo. There are many techniques and products you can use to assist you in taking a well lit photograph. Things like the angle, types of lighting, and what your model looks like can be contributing factors in perfecting the light quality.
Many people have a good and bad side and as a photographer, it is your responsibility to find those sides, and use them to your ability. For example, if a models good side is on the right, you would have lighting that hits them on that side, emphasizing those characteristics. Depending on who you're shooting, you must pick the type of lighting you want to use. Harder light hits a person much like direct sun; creating darker shadows and shows clearer image of the subjects skin. Softer light is like standing in the shade; minimal shadows and a blurred effect to the skin. Showing fewer marks or blemishes on ones body.

Dead Silence was created using a skull, telephone, and a few different shaped glass bottles. The primary focus in the photo is the color. Both the phone and skull are the same which is demonstrating how connected we are to technology that while the world around us is filled with different things, we stay in close range of our phones or laptops. To make this photograph, I had used a lightbox, which was a new experience for me. I had never used one before so it took about a hundred shots until I had gotten the perfect photo. I shot from many different angles as well, but this was the only that gave off a melancholy feeling.

The photo is a distorted reflection of a toy car behind a beaker. This is one of my favorites because I like the isolation of the subject, as well as the colors and the contrast between the copper color and the white background.
