For this prompt, I used a fun mirror as a prop. I wanted to include the camera in the photo to make it look as though someone is taking a photo of you through the mirror.

For this week’s photo blog, Maya and I collaborated. We decided to make it look like she was holding a giant leaf. To do this, we took photos with Maya far away and the leaf close to the camera. We took photos, one with Maya in focus and another with the leaf in focus and then edited them together.

For this photo, I went underneath my desk to take a photo of what it looks like mid art project. I was carving using rubber blocks and using paints to stamp with them. I wanted to show it from underneath because this is not a perspective I usually see since I normally look at my materials from above.

For this prompt, I decided to take a photo of my room using some of the lights that I have. I wanted to use a very warm, orange light to give the photo a very cozy feeling. Afterwards, I edited the photo in Photoshop and added a screen layer warming filter to make the rest of the room fit this color.

I took a photo from the bottom of the stairs. I wanted to make the stairs look giant. I also wanted the light at the top from the window to make it look like the stairs are leading nowhere.

For this week, I decided to use a photo of my friend, Thea. This follows the rule of thirds because her face is at the intersection. I also wanted to make her body language look sad.

In order to fill the frame, I zoomed in on my gecko. His heat lamp is red which turns his entire tank red. So I filled the frame with the red light.

This is my friend Thea. For this week, I used Adobe Photoshop to split her photo into left and right halves. I made one version of her face from each half.

I chose this photo for the prompt geometry because of the way that the objects overlap. This is a broken fence that I found and the broken pieces created triangles in front of the rectangular slots in the fence.
