Selfie vs. Self Portrait

In this assignment, we were tasked with creating a grid of 8 selfies (us taking the photo of ourselves) and one larger self-portrait (someone taking the photo of us). I enjoyed this assignment because of the modern style associated with it.

The selfies I took were with my dog. I took a selfie for different major events (the first one was just me and my dog): Christmas, the Super Bowl, Easter, Valentine's day, 4th of July, Halloween, and a birthday. I chose this theme to lighten up the current situation, providing memories and events to look forward to. The self-portrait was the opposite tone, as it portrays how you can be drowned by the media and depressing circumstances we live in. I took the photo close up to emphasize the facial features of conforming and obedient.

Westin Food Shoot

Image
Edward Weston:  Edward Henry Weston was a 20th-century American photographer born  March 24, 1886, in HighLand Park IL.  Weston has been labeled as one of the most influential  and innovative photographers in America. Weston specialized in making vegetables  and fruits the star of the photos. Weston was especially good at creating multiple dynamics within a single  photo by using off shaped fruits, or perfect vegetables. In this assignment Mr. Worrell asked us to produce the same theme as Weston, by making the food the "hero" of the shot. We made a collection of four photos with three black & white and one in color. I enjoyed this assignment due to the fact that fruits and vegetables come in all different shapes and sizes giving this assignment a variety of complex ideas and shots.

One Day Assignment

This project entailed us photographers to have 15 minutes in two spots to take as many photos as possible. I chose for both of my spots to be outside to explore a variety of colors and crisp formatting. All of these photos were taken facing towards the ground to single out an object. I used many browns, greens and moderate colors to bring out the earthy and natural feel of my photos.
