Favorite Image


something in this image that strikes me is the depth of the image. what i mean by this is that the viewer can actually see the different colors in the eye because the image is in focused so well. The focus point in this image is the multiple colors in the eye because not many people get the opportunity to see an eye so close up. This image influences my voices because I believe that eyes have a way of telling a person's story, their personality, and their emotions all in one pair. In this image there are many emotions I can see. Such as happiness from the yellow, determination and sadness with the contrasts of the dark and light blues, and anger from the tiny bit of red that the artist added in. if I was the artist i wouldn't have changed a thing because i feel like this eye really stands out and seems so really. It makes me wonder if this artist has an eye like this, knows a person who does, or these were the emotions that they were feeling as they drew this.

Compositional photoshoot reflection


I took a lot of pictures of flowers and the streets I went around my neighborhood because it has a lot of different elements to take pictures of. I made sure that I got pictures when there was different weather conditions to set the moods. I used the rules of composition to make my photos better by getting close up and making sure that my photo didn't just focus on more than one rule, that it had multiple. I used mainly all of them by getting up close to flowers, using my streets as leading lines etc. I used mainly flowers because they were the easiest to take at that time. I incorporated my voices by taking pictures of things that stand out to me and when I edited them I put the colors that I thought would set the mood. This assignment helped me view the world different because now when I look at the world I see photography everywhere and that these rules are everywhere you look. Some of my weaknesses were that I didn't get this assignment turned in on time and that I messed up on my photos. My strengths were that I had all the photos I just didn't understand how to make the contact sheet. I would change the fact that I didn't get it turned in on time and be able to understand how to do a contact which I know how to do now.
