This photo was made on my first camera, a Nikon D7000 with a 50mm f1.8 portrait lens. ISO was 200, aperture was f2.5, and shutter speed was 1/250s.

I know that I had no idea what I was doing when I made this photo on April 8, 2021 but I will forever love this photo, long after my father is gone. I love it because it tells the story of him; his injuries and the work he has done with his hands, the way he chews his fingernails when he is anxious, all of it.

I love the way this photo is framed, that it highlights his wedding ring and captures the detail of the wrinkles and veins and hair on his hands. I am also proud of the editing, it is flattering to the subject.

Something I wish I had done differently is to actually know how to use my camera. I would never make this photo with shutter speed at 1/250s now but I still had no idea what I was doing then. These are the perils of being a self-taught photographer.

I took this photo in the CTE wing with one of my friends’ hand as the subject. I like the lighting in the photo and how you can see some details, but I think I could’ve done better with the camera angle and things like that.

I took this picture with my zoom in on my iPhone. I focused on capturing the natural light that created a catchlight on the eye. I had the subject look in the distance so that I could capture the eye from the side. I really like how focused the camera was able to get on the details of the eye. I also like how the light was in an arc which is more interesting in the eye.

When taking this photo I wanted to get here eyes and eyelashes. I zoomed in and had her turn to the side a bit while also looking away from me. Then I cropped the photo to make her it was just her eyes and framed nicer. I think eye photos are really pretty and I think me and Riley were able to captures eachothers really well. I also think this photo shows the shape of eyes nicely and looks pretty cool. I also think capturing her eyelashes as much as the rest looks really pretty.

This Photo was taken on my Iphone 13 Pro Max with a 13mm f1.8 Lens. ISO was 200, aperture f1.8, and Shutter speed was 1/120s

I like this photo because the girl is very crafty and neat with her sketches and cutting very nice.

I used my phone to takes this, trying not to cast a shadow on to his hand and trying to not have my feet in the picture. The first thing that I noticed was his nuckles. I really like how they kinda spiral and have lots of lines. The second thing that I noticed was that I cut off part of his finger and I would try and retake that if I got another chance.

I took this picture of one of my friends hands in the pottery class right after he had got done molding his clay cup. When I took this picture i wanted to get the dried clay on his hands but also the clay scraps of to the side.

I took this photo on my phone and I had asked a fellow classmate if I could take a photo of him holding his camera. I focused on the fingers and what they were doing like him moving the wheel on the camera and adjusting the lenses.

I asked her to look up to take the photo to show the eye is not a perfect circle. It was taken on a iphone and crop to show more detail.

I took this with my iPhone 15 in the construction and geometry.

(padlet doesn't do the photo justice)

I originally made this photo for my self-portrait portfolio, but my skill has drastically improved since. I redid this photo and completely revamped the editing. First, I turned on my flash and started a video. Then, I used a pipet and covered my main camera sensor with a large water droplet. Next, I put my eye as close as I could to the camera lense and became blind. After that, I took a screenshot of the best, most in focus moment. Finally, I used Lightroom to darken the photo and do a selective edit on my pupil and iris to brighten it and make the blues and yellows pop, while also bringing out the peculiar texture. I love this photo very much because it's one of the best I've made and I never knew I had yellow in my eyes!

I chose to make this photo black and white to create a more striking look. I also increased exposure, black point, and contrast. I love how her glasses frame the eye while also adding interesting texture. The catchlight also improves this photo.

I took this photo with the back camera on my iPhone. I turned up the brilliance a bit, with other slight adjustments in the shadows/highlights. I like this photo because of how much detail you can see in my eye (I think it got a little blurrier on Padlet). I think the framing is good and my eye has a leading line. If I were to take it again I would move my finger off of my face because it looks out of place under my nose.

This photo was taken in the pottery class of my friends hand. I was trying to capture the dirtiness of his hands.

This photo was taken in the foyer when i asked deuce to do something with his hands. I like this photo because it show some of his fingers but not all.

I took this photo on my iPhone and I noticed no one was really taking pictures out side so I went outside and started playing with the snow which was fun and cold but worth it. I really like this photo because I feel like you can tell many different stories with it from the dirt and paint under the fingernails to why was I playing with the snow?

This a picture of my king's eye. I used the side of his nose and his eyebrow to frame the eye and then I used a spotlight setting in portrait mode to focus right on the eye. I also hd my king stand under a light to give his eye a really good catchlight and to make his pupil smaller so I could see more green in his eye.

I took this photo on my cannon R50 with the 24-70mm f2.8 lens. The ISO was 800, aperture f4.0, and the shutter speed was at 1/160 sec.

For this photo I cropped it in and tilted the eye off center to better line up with the corners of my photo. I then increased the contrast, sharpness, and other small tweaks to create the finalized look.

Something I wish I had done was use my 35mm macro lens becuase I would have been able to retain better colors and definition by not having to crop it in as much.

I think this is a good photo because of the reflection in the eyes. i took with iphone by puting it close to her eye. it would look better with background but thats as good as i could get with a phone.

I took this photo of Wade's hand with my iphone.

This photo is of my mom’s hand playing guitar. My mom has played guitar ever since she was my age in high school so I thought it would would show a great story of passing down the enjoyment of music if she was playing my guitar which she also gifted me. I kept her hand in the upper left side of the grid while putting details of the guitar on different points on the grid to make the photo interesting. The only thing I’d change is the lighting because the reflection off of the shinier part of the guitar’s surface is distracting.

I took this photo with my iPhone 12 mini camera, by turning up the brightness slightly. I went into settings and changed this photo to black and white. I like this photo because I think it’s very clear and detailed.

This photo was taken on my iPhone. I wanted to try getting a photo during golden hour as the sun was getting ready to set.

I love how I was able to focus the camera on my brother's eye color. This was actually cool.

I took this picture of somebody's eye. I like the seriousness of the eyes and the dark color of the eye which makes for a striking look.

I took this picture at home. I don’t remember all the camera settings, but I really liked how it turned out. I wanted to capture the feeling of fall and how cozy it feels to be at home with family. The texture of my hand against the smooth pumpkin looks interesting and makes me think about how people connect with nature.

If I could change something, maybe I would adjust the lighting or try a different angle. But I’m still proud of how this photo shows a little story about warmth and home.

I took this photo of my eye,I increase the brightness by bit.I like this photo because it looks like I am surprised or shocked in the photo.I also cropped out my nose and my eyebrows in the photo.

The subject of the photo is my baby sisters hands. As you can see her hands are playing with a blue substance (candy). I got a close up by moving closer to the child. I lowered the vignette and increased definition. I also increased the sharpness.

I took this picture with my iPhone. I wanted to capture more than just her eye in the photo, I wanted to incorporate more of the space around it as well. I like how she isn't looking directly at the camera and she is what is in focus.

I ask 3 of my friends to help me to do this for my assignments and then I made a idea of together that we put our hand on our wrist to make it like a square and it was a great idea that I took picture of these and was catchlight

I made this photo by making Brooks look into the light above him and used portrait mode. I edited the exposure and shadows a little to give it a more vibrant look.

I took this photo on my phone this photo is very appealing to me the way the flash makes the eyes shine it's so pretty and all the details from the eyes makes it look so cool like the lashes the circles around the eyes ect...

A plain photo can look professional with the right adjustments and touch ups.

My main subject in this photo are the two hands holding the story behind my photo is supposed to resemble unity of some sort being united holding hands. My technique in this photo was just focus and lower the exposure I like this photo because of the meaning behind it.

I took this photo when the sun was getting ready to set right before I went into work. I used the mirror in my car to be able to see where the camera was pointing as well as the sunlight. I like this photo because it makes my eyes look pretty. My eyes usually look really dark, but in the sun the color actually pops out.

Both hands are people I’m close with 🥰 I use blackout cs I want it to look more emotional and special 🤞also the sun was a big helper in this image too
