Weekly Challenge 4

My weekly challenge 4 was smoke photography. It was impossible and I am never shooting smoke again.

20 Layers

Here is my 20 layers project! I didn't really have a theme, I tried to just focus on myself and expressing who I am.

Weekly Challenge 3

For my third weekly challenge I drew "Surreal landscape: add something funky" so I added lemons! Jared and I went to the thrift shop, found a bag of plastic lemons, and drove around trying to find cool places to shoot landscape pictures. We ended up finding this cool dirt road where the lighting was pretty near perfect and the yellow lemons really stood out. I tried messing with the colors and saturation to make the image more surreal because I hate HDR, but I think that using HDR for this challenge could have made it much more surreal.

Weekly Challenge 2

Eric Tourneret

For weekly challenge two, I chose to emulate an artist. Eric Tourneret is known as The Bee Photographer and takes some really cool pictures of bees. I wish the bee was facing the camera, but I still like the picture. Lately I'm obsessed with sunflowers and cool yellow colors. I love the feel of summer and sunflowers give me that feel. 

Weekly Challenge 1: Portraiture

For my first weekly challenge,  I chose to redo the portraiture challenge. I tried to capture the simplicity of summer with Leah's cute simple dress and these gorgeous yellow sunflowers. 

Summer Work: Flower

This is my second summer work picture. I think I like this one less than the shadow one. To get this picture I sat outside for 3 hours to get the lighting right, and I still think I got it wrong. I think this picture just proves that there's always room to improve and that no matter how long I sit on my sidewalk taking pictures of a flower, I can always take a better picture of a flower.

Summer Work: Shadows

This piece was taken for my summer work. I took it in my house late at night, when I woke up at 3 in the morning and felt like taking pictures. I'm a strong believer that when you can't sleep, you shouldn't make yourself. I took it in my hallway, because I was trying to play with shadows. I think that the stark difference between light and dark and the cool spiral light fixture detail are cool.
