This photograph was taken during my original photo shoot, as she is frolicking and enjoying the weather. This image portrays youthfulness and creativity as she continues to use her imagination while playing. I liked this image in particular due to the shadow placement and off guard posing.  ]]> 2021-05-18 14:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1535762402 https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1537953185 My project is about online schooling and it's effect on me

My concept is to use landscapes from earth and make them seem like a different planet in space. For this piece, I decided to change it up by adding a part of Lowell as a landscape. I made Jupiter a different color, and made the other areas darker than the street light. ]]> 2021-05-19 02:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1538120193 https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1538320476 I decided to go with a different concept for my final. This series I want to experiment with color through my concept of capturing the beauty of nature/spring. My concept has definitely changed seeing as last time I was going for a more creepy black and white theme, but I felt as though spring is the perfect opportunity to try out a different style seeing as the colors are more vibrant this time of year. ]]> 2021-05-19 05:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1538320476 https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1539223946 i drew this drawing to make a connection too my first piece to show how nice and sweet things are and the death behind thing can show a lot ]]> 2021-05-19 12:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1539223946 https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1539373181 I now have a more solid foundation for my lungs which are not as perfect or circular as they were before.

Not so much scary vibe but an unknown vibe, something more deep and mysterious. I want the theme to be to never think what you see is all it is, something more is out there, and the biggest risk is not taking any.

You never appreciate a moment until you can look back on it. I've been diving into different ways I can take photos (polaroids, phone, cameras, etc.), so far I personally like phone cameras, polaroid, and disposables because they provide that candid feel. I also tried to add brightness, but I still don't feel like that's my thing.]]> 2021-05-30 19:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1571970630 https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1583205139 in this piece i just was playing around with some tools it represent the life of babies the only three thing that they need to do ]]> 2021-06-03 17:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1583205139 https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1599078710 2021-06-10 16:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1599078710 https://padlet.com/nikkigiraffo/2z6o75vfmhbdp87t/wish/1599079002 This is a photo that photoshopped. In my opinion, I think it looks pretty natural. My goal was to photoshop and image, but make it look candid.
