Levitation



For these Photos, I went a little crazy... I tried a bunch of different things, but these seemed to come out the best. The first two I used the photoshop way, and they look too photoshopped to me, but the last one I actually jumped and then photoshopped my self in, and that seemed to work better. For the first and last photos, I had my camera on a tripod, and the middle one I took at school.

EC. Light Writing






I thought this project was really fun once I got the hang of it. I placed my camera on a tripod in my driveway, and went to work. My camera was on the night setting, and I had to wait until my camera flashed, then I could draw my picture. We used a super bright flashlight to create our pictures. The photo of my brother glowing (1st photo) was done by accident. We were trying to outline our bodies like we saw online, and we went a little too fast and not distinct enough to completely outline our bodies.





Light Photos











Most of these photos were taken on at a Wildlife park in Wilsonville. The pictures of my brother were taken at home infront of a white sheet. I discovered that its fun to take photos using makeup to change the way I look at my brother. This makes the photos more interesting, and they look cooler too. I also learned that if the light is positioned lower than the object, so looking up at my brother, the shadow becomes bigger and seems to stretch. It also changes the way his bones and muscles on his back and chest look in the photo. At first it was hard to set up the lighting and the position I wanted to take, but once I got the correct placement, it was easier. I think Silhouette photos are my new favorite! =)

Stereographics






I had a little technical difficulty getting the third stereograph to show up.  I think theses photos are so cool! You don't usually see photos like this. I really like how they turned out!

Cloned Self



I took this photo outside in front of my house at night. I really like the christmas lights in the photo. This project took a lot of patience, I would accidentally erase parts of the photos. All together, I thought this was a fun project.

Self Scanning






I thought this was an interesting project. Some of the photographs came out really good, and others didn't. I think that having the texture of my hair in the photos makes the scans really cool.

Portraits

This is Emily. This was taken in front of my house while she was in the car.  Emily's face was reflecting the light, and I thought her "silly" face really brought out her funky personality. This is my favorite photo I have taken all year.


Kaylee was very smiley, and I thought the red beads would make her face have a little  more color, but by the time I Cross processed them, it didn't really effect the coloring on her face.

This was a door to door salesman walking in my neighborhood. I took this photo in the street in front of my house. Something about his face just made me want to photograph him...

This is the older couple that lives across the street from me. They were going out for an afternoon walk.  When I took this it reminded me of the famous "American Gothic" painting.

This is my neighbor Kent. He was working on his car, and I was making fun of him for wearing his hat sideways. This captures the funny side to my neighbor.


This is Victoria. She has a funky eye, and thinks its funny to scare people with this face. This top photo reminds me of old photos from the 70's and 80's. 


Wendy has been a friend for a long time. I took this photo at her hair salon.  Its hard to resist her big smile. 

These are my top 10 favorite photos.
