Series Photos

In my series I tried to portray loneliness. It's a little boy holding his bear. All by himself in his room, and I think that adding the black and white effect to the photo will really draw the viewer's eye to it. The different angles and poses, plus to one different view of the boys facial expression can really provoke feelings of loneliness to the viewer along with using the black and white. Which is what I was going for.

Color Photos

With the red I was going for something more chaotic, and kind of wild and crazy. And I think that this picture really displays it well.

With this photo, there wasn't exactly a mood but it could be relaxing. Because I use my lava-lamp when I'm trying to sleep or just chill in my room. And I think the lava-lamp really exudes it, especially because my color is a green-ish one, so it just lets the stress fall off.

I think that my favorite or best picture is the one of the candle. Looking at it really gives off a calming vibe, the relaxtion just comes to you. And that is what I was going for. You can see the deep green of it at the bottom then it getting lighter as you go up, til it is yellow. And even the yellow can sometimes give a sense of happiness and euphoria, which I love. I think this picture is great.

Photoshop Tutorial

I did the Eery-Eye tutorial. It looks a little different on the one they show but it gets the point across. Twisting the color of the eye, adding the spotlight lighting effect to the picture. Then putting some extra colors in there to really bring out the pupil in the eye. Also using the burn tool to darken the pic, and then the dodge tool to lighten the areas that I wanted lighter.

Macro Mode Pics

I think that this picture is the strongest one that I took. I think the angle that I took it at plus with having the macro mode on my camera really was able to capture the texture, the shape, and the size, and definitely the color of the cookies and the baking sheet they were on. I like that you can really get up close and personal in this picture, which is why, I think, that I like macro mode so much. Because it really captures all of the object's sides.

2 Artist Photos

I think that I emulated the artist David Bailey quite well in this photo. I have the same type of jacket, my hand was placed in close proximity to where the model's' hand is in the photo plus they are both black and white. My photo also has a white background, as does Bailey's. The only thing that I could have probably have fixed was that Bailey's picture has a blue-ish tint to it and mine is strictly black-and-white. Other than that I think I did quite well.

-This picture is the one I feel that I did the best on. I think that it mimicks the picture below that Ansel Adams took. It has the same scenery, with the snow and the trees being in the middle. I know using the rule of 3rd's is common but for these I think that placing them in the center enhanced the picture, made it look good even though it is the focus and it would catch your attention anyway, putting in the middle made it better.
