it's an all night party that we're getting into
I wanted to go above-and-beyond with my use of props. As a director, it’s important to consider the color scheme of all props that you use. I wanted to emphasize the color red in this photograph, drawing attention to my prop, the main source of red.
I wanted to challenge myself for this Depth of Field photo blog. I feel that it is easiest to convey depth of field when you having leading lines and narrow spaces. As such, I challenged myself by taking my photo in an open space, a less clearly “deep” environment. In doing this, my main tool for conveying depth would be staging my models further apart, showing that there is distance between them.
At first, I was kind of confused by the “Viewpoint” photo blog. It seemed too broad of a concept; I felt that any photograph could represent a viewpoint. As such, I wanted to add an element to my picture that really demonstrated that it could be from the perspective of someone’s own eyes. I decided to subtly include my pointer and middle finger right in front of the camera, as if to show that someone was peeking through their eyes.
In these Rule of Thirds image, I intended to capture the emotion of confused shock. I posed my model in a way that implies she is looking at something. That “something” is what is causing the emotion on her face.
I feel that Freestyle, as a whole, has a lot of interesting geometry, but especially the recording studio. I wanted to highlight the various interesting shapes that could be found there in this photo blog.
Rather than choosing to take a picture at eye-level with the subject, I decided to complete the “Angles” prompt by shooting from above. I found that this made for a more attentive, curious subject. It makes the camera feel more present.
The three people in this photograph follow the role of odds – The 3 subjects making for a satisfying picture.
Including negative space in a photograph adds intrigue. In this case, you’re forced to look further into the photograph, all of the negative space drawing your eye to the subject.
I’ve isolated my subject in this photograph by placing him in the center. I think that this feeling of isolation is added to by the expansive and seemingly unending background. This way of framing a portrait makes it seem as though by subject is alone and facing the unknown.
I took the word balance in this assignment very literally, capturing a symmetric photograph of some holiday decorations.
