Freestyle Academy Class of 2023
For viewpoint, I wanted to incorporate the idea that we don’t see ourselves while driving. II snapped this photo of Wesley, a peer of mine who has been very influential in making me who I am today. A passenger princess will always see you from a different point of view than you see yourself or them.
This photo, overlayed with a poem of mine, is painted in black and white to fit the film noir assignment. Film noir is typically dark and moody, so I wanted to put a twist on the assignment by making it about vibrancy.
After a long night of working, I think we all deserve to indulge in some fast food. In this case, my victim was Chick-Fil-A.
Using a color gradient and the “soft light” effect, I was able to use color theory to edit this picture of my friends. The warm tones located in the face create the perfect transition shade into this warm post.
For this assignment, I teamed up with Mahaut to create slow shutter speed photos in a dark room. Utilizing glow sticks, we were able to light the area surrounding the subject. Mahaut moved her face on command, leaving two expressions on the screen; relaxation and anger.
The elements: earth, fire, rain, wind, and spirit. I am personally most intrigued by fire. Specifically the fact that it has no shadow, making it a ghoastlike element. Flames are weightless and lifeless things, yet can cause you excruciating pain in a matter of seconds.
The rule of odds falls hand and hand with the rule of thirds. When photographing objects or landscapes, they should always fall into three separate levels and shapes. This photo taken on my trip to the Windwood art district in Miami is an excellent representation of this rule.
My favorite tree in the world is located right in font of my house. As the seasons change, so does this tree. It hurts me to see the leaves fall but at least I get to experience the frosted magenta tips first.
This is my dad, Dave. Dave is an absolute cutie pie and this is my favorite picture of him ive ever taken. I have so much love and respect for this man because I know how hard he’s worked to provide for me and my sisters.
I took this photo in Miami in the Wyndwood district. Using the rule of thirds, this snazzy man and his very cool car was captured. I love that he posed for the photo even though I took it in a quick, split second as I saw him driving by. The emotion this conveys to me is freedom, and an appreciation for being alive.
