Check-In

 For the final I am going for the theme of Growth specifically the growth coming out of seasonal depression.

Both of these are edited and I really love the first photo, but the second on just doesn't feel like it fits as much

Abstract Photography

 

These first two photos were light drawing we did during class, this was such a fun technique to learn. These photos did not need much editing, just some basic editing to brighten up the light drawings.

This assignment as a whole was a lot of fun going through and finding out the different ways to edit photos

Shooting Competitions

Some edited photos from shooting competitions I've competed in this semester.

Stress of Test Taking

 For this portrait series I wanted to capture the stress of test taking. To create as much stress as possible I made sure to give my friends a question or assignment in something I knew they struggled with, as well as putting them under a direct spotlight facing at them. I chose to edit these photos in a harsh black and white to really bring out the contrast so you could clearly see their stress. In Lane, his stress showed very differently to Emma-Grace's stress. While he was very expressive and you could read his expression easily, Emma-Grace stayed very focused attempting to finish her problem while looking stressed but less expressive as Lane.
