Draft 3

This is the third draft of our final project photo project.  Mainly, we had to imitate the work of other photographers.  I based my work off of Eugene Atget but I also tried to replicate the work of Nathan Lyons. Lyons photographed unusual works of art that he found anywhere while Atget took photos of old Parisian architecture.  Both of these artists belonged to the genre of street photography.

Eugene Atget photos Draft 2

In this assignment we again had to mimic the style of the artist we researched.  I followed the same format as I did this time, although I focused mainly on Victorian houses this time around.

Eugene Atget draft 1

In this assignment I had to try and mimic the style of the photographer Eugene Atget.  He mainly photographed architecture.  His photos were in black and white and were photographed in the early morning.

Potraits

In this assignment we studied the work of Avedon.  His photos highlighted all the details of his subject and used to white background to enhance the effect.  Use of a photo editor was a necessity in order to make a perfect background and increase the contrast.

Microworlds 2

Pretty much the same thing as the last micro worlds assignment, only this time we were encouraged to try new methods and styles when taking our photos.  Don't know why, but I felt less satisfied with this group of photos.

Microworlds

 The purpose of this assignment was to create a story in one frame using small figurines.  Knowing how to adjust camera settings was critical to this project.  Some of the pictures came out well, while others were rushed and very grainy.

Rule of thirds

In this assignment, we were challenged with constricting the focus of our photo to a third of our picture.  It was difficult to do this successfully at first, but I got the hang of it a bit later after as few shots.

Depth Staging

In this assignment we had to use objects in the foreground and the background to create a sense of depth in the photo.  Focusing the camera on objects in the foreground, background, or both would help create the depth.

Repetition

For this assignment, we had to take a photos that captured recursion.  The repetition would create a sense of depth from within the photo.  It was easy to confuse repetition with leading lines and it could be hard at times to find repetitive elements outside.
