PORTRAITS!!!!

BEST ASSIGNMENT EVER. FIND LIGHT,DON'T PROCRASTINATE... HERE ARE MY IMAGES:

This is Daenen. Meet Daenen... in the road, when a car is coming. ( I love the light here, I didn't adjust at all I don't think.)

Laura can be discribe as many things- beautful, talented, crazy. However I think this photo tell you more about who she really is. ( can you tell she loves trees?)

This photo happens to be my favorite "story" for it tells of the lines we walk as young adults. I pulled the saturation down, I wanted to play with it a little.

NO this is not natural, but I think this expresses the story the way I wanted it to be told. Just by looking at this you can see a dancer, a star- and that's excatly what she is.

Stomp! On you! I win!

You are never alone. Don't forget that.

This is mon amie Hannah. I saw her in her white shirt and told her to get on this white background because I like the white on white with red and pink. Slade says this is my strongest image... I believe it is nice, but not as strong as he says.

Can you tell I like shadows? Well, I do, and this is why- Shadows, when used correctly, can tell more than a face or a body. I am not sure if this counts, but I like it.

If i had to have on picture that described Daenen, this would be it. I think from this you can see who he is, what kind of a person he is and you can see his bright personality.

Me. Self portrait. What else can I say? Oh, this was supposed to be a shot of me not being me... I dont play sports nor am I a model so mission acomplished... I think.

Semi Final Thing

So the following images are what I call my best work of the year:





This picture was for the complementary color assignment, where I went out into my yard and just started shooting. Most of my images really stunk but this photo I think excelled. I had to bring up the color just a little because it turned out looking really gray instead of blue, but... it turned out really nice, I believe.



This image was for the numbers assignment. I reallllly like it but I must confess I did not come up with the idea. My friend, Laura, ( the girl), was running around and asked if she should lay down next to the tramp and make a ten. But I took the picture! :) I love the concept of the photo, it is really outside of the box, which I think is really what I needed.



I call this Olivia's Ghost. I think all pictures should have a double meaning,make it more than just a picture. I think this acomplishes that. To me this is not a portrait but a story about a girl who is trying to be be in two places at once, like most teenagers. I like the deep black and the white because they are "undefined" kinda unknown... or maybe thats just me.



So I am walking back from a nursury after shooting the 50 free shoot and I see this perfect shadow and i am in love. Because I am who I am, I wanted to be in the picture to so I entered the scene too. The Image turned our very nice I believe because it show a story. Maybe all you can see is a blurry shadow, but I see me reaching out to the world and trying to move the tree.I may not be able to " move the tree" I might even come close but at least I am trying.



Laura can be discribe as many things- beautful, talented, crazy. However I think this photo tell you more about who she really is. ( can you tell she loves trees?)The reason I think this image is successful is because it tell everything you coule ever what to know about her, just in one picture.

Assignment 4- Free shoooot

I feel like this assignment was by far my best assignment. After hearing everyone talking about how this assignment "sucked", I wondered why I liked it so much. Some photographers like boundries for they give them something to work with like the clay to a sculpture, while others would rather go searching not for any photo in perticular, but just the right image. I am the latter. I think i don't see the assignment, I see pictures. When I am given boundries sometimes they are really click with me but at other times they fence in my imagination ( I should probably learn how to fix this.)
Like Slade told me earlier, I had good light and a good location. I think thats what I really learned to wait for the perfect light and finding the location was pure luck. So I offically like free shoot, however I am sooooooo ( with about a million o's) excited for portraits. That is one of the few assignments that i connect with.... Just thinking about it I probably should blog about that after I have shot.
OK, Au revoir ~ Stevi
