MINI FINAL


so this is probably like the photo that you ask why does she even like this! haha but i feel that is super in focus you know, and i love the color of it. they arent pink yet red. i really love it. i think it was a cool concept. i cant really explain further why i like it i just do!


complimentry colors favorite print. the reason i like this photo is because the colors are so vivid, and i didnt even mess witht the colors in lightroom. i also as you know love shooting shoes! so this was fun to mess around with.



this is my first real successful reshoot. this photo is proof that i learned something from color balancing, i shot my blue cups then reshot these white plates and made them really really white. it makes me feel like i have actually solved my white balencing problem.


rachel brunner....my hero. she was a bomb model. i love this photo particularly because she isnt posing like any of my other photos.... she also shows me emotion. i love this photo because it is close up, i didnt have to deal too much with her body its just a true portrait.


favorite portrait assignment. i love this one of alexsa. i love the light. all term i really havent captured tthe light i really enjoy yet. this photo actually does it for me! i like it because it shows her acting natural compared to the rest of my photos when she is smiling and posing. getting her hair and face tone to be normal was a chore. but i love love love it.


i love this photograph. i took this for the cemetary extra credit, but this is a better portrait. I love the look of the model her eyes are stunning. the model i think makes this picture, the intensity she gives me is beautiful. she is the best model i have ever used for pictures. i love the darkness on the bottom and the bright light at the top. it is a good balence.



the term summed up!
so i think i have learned a tonn this term... i learned how to do this color buisness...
i have learned color balence is a key factor when shooting. i also learned to stay positive. like i had some tough times already but i stuck it thru and i finished every one of my assiggnments with little to no problem. also the model you use is an important factor. my focus although not sharp at times has improved. dont wait forever to shoot. keep trying to find the right light because that is my weakness. free shooting sucks that is a main thing i learned also to keep photograph ideas written down!. ive tried super hard this term, ive really given it a lot of work, time, and patience. i hope my work reflects it. let's start next term!

ASSIGNMENT 6














ah portraits.
so this assignment was interesting. i love shooting portraits....this time around i wasn't so super. i do not like shooting in color portaits. it really screwed me up. all my models that i would love love to print just suck because like most of my models were blond and their hair really looked green. then in my first case with alexsa her face is really really red. i honestly rather go get another model then to fix it in lightroom, which is what i did. super. ha but she was blond again. but i things went a lot better than i thought. her balence werent so off. i loved the pictures of the little girl but she didnt show me any emotion in her face and they were all really bllurry...more blurry then my second time shooting and i didnt have a tripod then. i didnt shoot the second weekend because it snowed and really i couldnt handle dealing witht he color of snow because i suck at brightness.... i had a hard time completing the rest of the assignment..i didnt know who to shoot and what not. i knew my ideal model-someone cocky. people who are really into themselves i learned are very good at modeling. but with all my blond models i was trying to steer clear and mostly all my big headed friends are blond i wanted variation. which was hard to find. and then i was not stoked on shooting myself. i couldnt find a celtics jersey simply because i dont associate with people who like them...so my idea was kinda lost. i hate the one of myself...i just needed proof that i tried. that is my only photo that i really hate.


i cant wait to do portraits again but in black and white. i actually really like my shots. i think they define a complete portait. like they all show my models face and what they look like which is the goal of a portait. i am really really happy with my end product.

ASSIGNMENT 5














sooooooooooo ps i hate this assignment with a living passion inside of me. i had no inspiration of anything for this assignment. all i really really wanted to do is portaits...and i thought that was stupid vbecause that is just our next assignment so what is even the point of that. it kinda sucks because when you have all these ideas of things i wanna shoot...then i get to this free assignment and just go blank. freedom isnt everything we sum it up to be ive decided we all wanted it but when we get it it is something we hate. thats what i feel has happened thru this assignment. i dont really like any my photots...i like two. the two i like are my pictures of the three trees because that is something i dont really take photos of..because i never take photos of nature..im not really a nature girl and i thought that one came out well. i also love the one of the grill like thing haha the rest are ugly. i think i screwed up the white balence....and i just dont know.. although i am not too happy about my photos there is one thing i still pride myself on is like i didnt give up on this even though i had no creativity in it... this time i really didnt start super late either i brought photos thru the whole week and thru the whole week put them up. well pretty much,its time to either reshoot this or take some kick ass portraits....haha.
