For my advanced composition project I chose to use my decision to spend more time with my little brother because with me being a senior and leaving this year I have to prepare him to be a big brother to 4 little girls. It’s a big and extremely important job and I want to give him the best start and chance to do the best he can and help mold the girls into young women with a good male role model to look up to while I’m not there.

I chose to use shallow depth of field for my little sister because with her being so little she doesn’t have to focus on anything but growing as the world doesn’t affect her yet.

My motive for these photos changed as I continued to progress with this photo shoot, the entire prompt was about decisions and at first my motive for this photo shoot was going to be about the decision I made to leave a friendship but now it has changed  into the decision I made to take photography in just a few months I don’t think I’ve ever been allowed this type of freedom to be myself in a class room, the choice I made to take photography even though it is early on I think is going to be one I will always remember in my life

I chose to use greater depth of field to showcase my neighborhood, because   this is a place where I really find myself to be happy. It’s not just the streets and cars and houses but also the people that live around me are always in such high spirits and happy it reflects on my mood and makes me think of where I live in such a positive way I’m appreciate that my home is somewhere I can be happy to go to and not seen as a dreadful place or place of despair. But that wouldn’t be possible without the people around and even myself because I try to be my best self and that’s what really makes where I live such a special place to me

My football Jersey and helmet made me feel powerful because I was able to dominate a sport for the first time in a long time and it opened up college doors I once thought closed

My intention through my photogram was meant to show how black women and many other women of color are masculinized and are constantly made to feel less feminine than their white counterparts. This topic is very near and dear to me as an artist as I have experienced this and seen many of my own friends experience this. Our ethnic features are looked down upon because they are simply not in the box of what it means to be beautiful. My photogram illustrates what is shown in magazines versus what isn’t. Many women with Eurocentric features are praised and out on the front page of magazines while black women such as Myra Greene. I want my viewer to consider finishing the photogram and filling the space with ethnic features of their own or things that are just as appreciated as they should be. I wasn’t my viewer to take the time to dismantle the conventional way of beauty as it has been displayed and come up with  their own. My goal isn’t to redirect the beauty standard, it's to get rid of it. Beauty has no standard because there is so much in this world there is no way to weigh or measure beauty as a whole.

My artist statement is about my unusual viewpoint because I always have a bang or redbull on me. I give the gas station so much of my money because I am there everyday buying an energy drink.

Shallow/greater depth, bullseye, rule of 1/3
My artist statement is about my bullseye picture and I decided to take this picture because I was with my entire household and it’s rare we all go out because we are all working. And it’s Christmas season😊

These photos are about school, mainly about homework based on a responsible decision. I chose this topic because it was something that I realized I had to do, and It gave me some ideas to photograph. I photographed pencils, iPad, notes from my notebook, anything that you would use in school to represent these ideas.I wanted the viewer to consider to be responsible for doing their homework or anything they have to finish, like work or chores.
