Photographs inspired by Minor White

Our photographer was Minor White, he inspired us by the way he took pictures about people(portraits) and about landscape. Mostly all his pictures are in black and white but i decided to put two in color because they are still portraits, but they just express more emotion and more color.

I choose these two pictures because I, myself like taking pictures of nature/landscape. I like the way the on with road is because it makes me feel like it's stranded, or some where you can go and get away for a while. The water one reminds me like when you feel depressed and you just want to be alone. I honestly like these two pictures.

Tips To Taking Portraits

1. Set up camera
2. Get the lighting right (Avoid direct, harsh sunlight from any direction)
3. Make your subject comfortable
4. Choose your lens and frame your shot
5. Get subject to maintain eye contact with camera
6. Focus and take Pictures

Artistic Review

Mr. Farley's page has many different kind of pictures on his website. He takes from like nature to different type of human beings. He has a really good website because he tries to be creative in all types of ways. I believe the website is really good because of the way the pictures are structured and the way the objects are captured.

I like the way the pictures are very detailed and how you can see different things when you look really close to the picture. He has all kinds of categories that have many different aspects. For example he has pictures events to pictures of his own family. Farley has two kids, a boy and a girl. Mr. Farley expresses different things in many different ways because he just doesn't take a picture of one but of many things.

His website needs a little improvement to the way the pictures are set up and the way you can find the pictures. I think it needs to be more organized that way it's easier to find the different categories of pictures. Overall his website is decent, just with a little more improvement and it'll be fine.

Review on camera cannon rebel t3i

This camera looks like the one we used last year, so I'm guessing it won't be difficult to use.

Photo Booth Assignment

BLACK & WHITE: I choose this because it's just plain and simple.

GLOW: This really makes the lighting better and makes everything look clear.

SEPIA: This one is somthing where you can't tell the difference between what kind of day it is, it just looks nice.

COLOR PENCIL: I choose this one because it's just something different I wanted to try.

NORMAL: I thought this one was ironice because it's normal but she's being weird

Second Chances

They say everyone deserves a second chance, but what if they already had one? But you can't help but take them back? I guess it's just the matter of time that helps you heal the wounds they left behind. Maybe it's good to take the risk and let them have another chance? I guess only time can tell..

First Assignment Looking At Light

Light has many characteristics but sometimes they aren't able to see unless you really focus on it. Like one of my teachers once said, "you need to look at things a different way that way you see the hidden beauty." What he said really made think and look at things differently because what matters is what's in the inside.
