Assignment #23: Wrapped Object Image/Reflection


Reflection: 
I realized with Jean Claude and Christos that they would always go big or go home. They would wrap anything from mountains to actually islands with the help of boats out on the water. They would make types of "floor plans" and sketches so that everything would work out perfectly and they could get the perfect masterpiece. My inspiration was to go a little smaller since they started off their "wrapped objects" project that way and I wanted to symbolize a well balanced diet with the wicker wrapped basket. The food items inside of the basket is everything that exists in a balanced diet such as vegetables and fruits which has been a lifestyle change for me recently. My difficulties was actually wrapping the objects since sometimes the wrapping would come off or overlap and look bulky. I had to place to the objects in a way so you could not see as much of the tape or excessive wrapping it took. The last difficult thing was getting the angle and lighting within Lightroom, but I learned a lot and I love how this photo ended up!

    So much about of this I agree with. The focus appears to be off - not on the wrapped objects but rather on the basket handle - and that confuses me. I do like the angle you have chosen. do you have any of these where the focus is actually on the wrapped objects?

Assignment #20: It's so Surreal! (The Final Photo)

Image
Reflection: The concept behind this picture is that there is always the good in people yet everyone has a dark past so that is shown through the yin yang and the darkness of the eye. I achieved this by taking a picture of my sister's eye in the golden hour and cropped it. Then, I used the brush tool in Photoshop and colored the white of the eye (other than the iris) in black to show that everyone has nobody is perfect and everyone has something going on in their lives. The yin yang in the pupil was so difficult to do that I had my uncle who is an engineer at Cisco to help me for over an hour to get it the way it is now. This was a very difficult assignment and wish I knew some tools ahead of time so I wouldn't need so much help. This photo was inspired by the eye photo in my original ideas, but this shows what every human being is like: good or bad, sad or happy, etc.

Assignment #4: Composition

Image
Composition: Contrast ISO: 500 F-Stop: f/8 Shutter Speed: 1/200 This picture was captivating for me because of the green background with the prominent white flowers. The white flowers bring out the brightness and lighting in the picture with the texture of the green leaves. Also the bundle of the four flowers going in different directions gives the audience a new perspective and makes the audience satisfied. Composition: Leading Lines ISO: 160 F-Stop: f/11 Shutter Speed: 1/100 This is another one of the my favorites because the overall picture is mostly surrounded by darkness but the little bit of light shines through. The leading lines come from the sun because that "flash" attracts the audience's eye to the little bit of the sunset in the background instead of someone taking a picture of a huge sunset. Also, the colors of the houses have a "reflection" and draws the audience's eyes to the variety of colors shown.  ...
