This assignment began with taking different photos of objects and body parts to past together. We were tasked to combine the pictures to make a portrait of a person with different elements. I chose Cameron as my base figure, then incorporated other students features and objects into his face. Using the tie for his mouth added an extra mood to the piece. It adds a darker element to the collage which  is extremely powerful when analyzing it. I feel as I did a good job being creative with the collage. Using different sized, angled and toned pieces to collectively build the assignment.

Covert Obscure: Photo Project Entailing this project we were required to take photos of objects that were not recognizable at first glance. Taking pictures from different angles, different viewpoints and of objects not normally focused upon.  I tried to use angles and close-ups to bring out different elements of the objects that were photoed.  I took everyday objects with different colors, shapes, and sizes to ensure a variety of obscure photos were taken. I took this assignment figuratively rather than literally, there is a clear indication of the picture at glance; however, the picture portrays a figurative out of context scene rather than a literal obscure photo. I put forth my best effort to take interesting photos of our school environment
