Fall Series - 1

Artists Statement: I am trying to capture the detail of the subject at a macro range. I tried to keep a bright photograph while still maintain the interesting detail that is the photograph. i struggle with the fact that Macro requires you to use manual focus which makes everything so much harder.

Portrait Photography

For this week we focused on portrait photography. We made sure that all of the photos were in square format and that all of the photos had a white background. We wanted to make sure that all of the focus is in the person and that there are no distractions around the person in the photo.

Homework 4 - Symmetry, Asymmetry and Balance

Asymmetry is when you have almost a mirror image. It happens when you have almost replicate photo but not quite. Found this one to actually be the hardest.

Symmetry is when you have a mirror image on both sides of the photograph. It should be split and be the exact same on both sides.

Balance is when the two objects of the photo would equal the same weight. For example, a big tree and a house would go well together.

Homework #3 - Pictorial Lines

Lines Leading to the subject - Lines leading to the subject is quite simple. You have to make sure that the lines lead to a subject. Doing this can create quite an interesting photograph.

Decorative Lines - Decorative lines should not be the main part of the photograph. If you were not to have those lines you would still have a good photograph. The lines are just adding something to it.

Arrangement of Lines - These lines should be the main part of the photograph. Without these, you would not have anything. There would not be a photo. They are the subject.
