Using Props

  • Composition

Trick photography is a cool field, and for this week, I got to try it out! I shot this photo through a sleeve used to protect fruit from bruising. The way the light bounces off each layer is particularly pretty, at least to me.

Depth of Field

  • Composition

Our challenge for this week was to take a photo with depth of field (DOF) in mind. However, instead of using DOF to isolate my subject, I tried to make it part of something bigger. The eye first lands upon the blossom in the lower-left […]

Viewpoint

  • Composition

This week’s photo captures a photo from another person or being’s perspective. My dog is enraptured by the extra trash bags that we keep in our closet, so I took a shot of trash bags that made them look appealing.

Rule of Thirds Emotion

  • Composition

A Woman Walking Down A Street The challenge for this week was to use the rule of thirds in a photo that portrays emotion. I’m not sure that my photo captures a particular emotion, but I find the contrast between the structure and the woman […]

Symmetry Portrait

  • Composition

Left and Right Reflections and Original Photo We were challenged to take a photo of ourselves and use symmetry in a portrait. I uploaded my photo (in the middle) into Adobe Photoshop, then proceeded to reflect both the left and right sides of my face. […]
