Reflection

What did you lern about photography that you did not know before? 

-What I learn about photography that I didn't know before was there was more to photography than taking pictures. It's about expressing the emotions by showing through pictures rather than words. I also learned about all sorts of different ways you can take or make a photo. By using any cans or anything else to make a master piece of an image. Lastly I learned the process of developing pictures in the dark room. That I've never knew much about and how it takes time to develop one photo.

What did you learn about yourself this semester?

-What I learned about myself this semester was that I can relive my emotions through taking or developing photos. I also learned that I express myself more when I am taking or making a photo. 

What do I wish we had done that we did not. 

-What I wished that we had done was photoshopping ourselves into any photos we choose.
 Ex. with celebrities, models, actors etc.

What was your struggle? 

-My struggle was not being able to make a decent photo in the dark room without it turning black. My other struggle was not enough time to get pictures for the projects we were doing. 

What did I conquer? 

-What I conquer was getting some decent photos developed in the dark room. And mastering photoshop that I never had experienced with before.

Portraits














I choose Leslie as my project to do for my portraits because she's a friend of mine who is an example of beauty in a young lady.  I wanted to capture the natural beauty in a girl showing how a person can embrace the beauty that she was given. Most girls tend to think less of themselves when they see another girl who is "prettier" than them. I wanted to show that every girl has their own uniqueness and beauty as to who they are. Leslie and I are childhood friends and as we grew up. I always tell her how beautiful she is even though she denies me saying she is not; she just doesn't see it through my eyes.
