Final Exam

4. 

I define this photo as the one that really changed my scope of photography. Not only do I consider this my best picture, I realized that the more work and thought that I put into my photo, the better the outcome. Since then, I have developed clear definitions and visions for my works before going out and shooting them. I was transformed as a photographer as from then on I began to plan out and think deeply about what I wanted to capture and how I wanted to do it. In this photo, for example, I wanted to use leading lines to form an imagery of highlights spreading out from a point of convergence. I realized the power of the camera as well as camera editing tools, essentially how little details such as angle, contrast, composition can induce such a significant effect on the outcome.

5. Whereas shape and form both use aspects of geometric figures, in the world of photography in the Elements of Art, there is an important difference between the two. Shapes define the use of two-dimensional objects, as if represented on a plane system, while form defines the use of three-dimensional objects in with width, length, and height. Squares and circles fall under the shape element while cubes and spheres fit under form.

6. Repetition consists of a single object, symbol, or entity being repeated through a photo often for an intended purpose. Pattern, on the other hand, consists of an arrangement of objects or elements used in a recurring and regular pattern.

7. Here is my About Me page on Weebly. I was inspired by Piotr Kulczycki. His about me page can be found on his website under the drop-down menu at the top left. 

8. 1) First Commercial Shoot

    2) Spring Expo Presentation

    3) Final Project

I would consider my Spring Expo project to be the best. Relay for Life truly inspired me to take pictures of an event that had a lasting impression on me. My goal was to capture the emotions and atmosphere of such a beneficial event that benefits millions every year. Each photo I took had a purpose as I wanted my viewer to actually learn something important and new. This was my third RFL, but this time, with photography, I paid more close attention to the people here and utilized the ability to share my work to possibly inspire and teach others something that I was passionate about. What I really saw differently with doing this project was the merging of photography and basically life.
