12 trash

For this photo, I decided to make it about recycling, because I am a strong believer in reusing materials whenever we can. Also, a lot of people just throw everything in the trash because they’re careless and will do anything to save just a little time. This should not be the case. Not only does …

11 balance

When I saw the example pictures for accidental renaissance, I at first was thinking I’d have a bunch of people reaching for something. However, when I saw the way the clouds were lit up by the sun, I couldn’t resist this opportunity. My friend suggested that they stand near the gate, which I think is …

10 hometown

I thought this park would be a good place to represent my hometown since it is a place I visit often and is important to me. I really enjoy natural features in towns, I think it gives us the opportunity to appreciate nature and relax. I decided to take it from this angle so that …

9 white balance

For this one, I wanted to find something that was either warm toned and make it cool, or cool toned and it make it warm. In this case, the actual picture would have been much warmer toned, but due to the white balance, it now looks very cool, to show how cold the snow is.

8 leading lines

For this one I thought the most obvious choice would be to do a road. However, I thought I could do better. When I saw the canyon, I knew it was the perfect landscape to make into a picture. It turned out especially well that where the canyon leads there are no mountains, giving the …

7 love story

For this picture, I was envisioning two people under a street lamp at night, after their date. Instead of using actual people and a real street lamp, I wanted to make a miniature version of this scenario. I happened to have two of these cats, so I put them next to each other under the …

6 weight or mass

My thought for this theme was to have something that the viewer will know is heavy, but also create a sense of weightlessness in that the object is in the air. I first thought of my cat, but it is hard to get her to jump. I thought my dog would be great for this …

5 symmetry landscape

I was thinking that the garden would be the best place to look for something like a landscape. I also thought the best way to find symmetry was to combine human-made objects and nature. Things in nature are rarely symmetrical, but human-made things are very often symmetrical.

4 warmth

I wanted to create a sort of cozy feeling with this picture. Something that would show both comfort in warmth and in safety. I create a contrast between the safe and the unknown with the welcoming chair with a pillow lit up and a window to the dark outside world. You don’t know what is …

3 mood

I thought this image was a good one to represent my mood because the light represents that I am hopeful. I am hopeful for my future and for others. The tree represents people. The roots are where we come from(our background) while the branches show how we develop our own interests and passions on our …
