Visual Dictionary

For this assignment we were told to define a word with pictures since often times people do not understand a word unless there is a picture or demonstration to go with it. For my project i chose to use common words like: exotic, fake, prepare, and united. My favorite is the one I made for Exotic just because I love the bright colors and patterns.

Visual Puns

I'm really late putting these pictures up but better late than never. Last week were told to create pictures that represented a saying or just a play on words. I really enjoyed this activity because i got to show my more creative side and my humorous side. Also I really enjoyed it when people laughed at them. Answers are at the bottom.

Photo 7-Still Life

This week I chose to do still life although none of the pictures were taken this week. I was bored on my bed one night last week and I just wanted to take pictures. So I just pulled stuff from the space around me and took pictures of them. The picture i am showcasing is of a Duct-Tape flower that I made and I knew it was a really cool picture to take.

People

For photo number six, I chose to shoot pictures of people. Many of the pictures were not taken this week but the featured photo is. It was kind of hard to shoot pictures of people because in order to capture their personality in the picture I would have to catch them off guard. For the picture below, we were coming home from my grandparents' house and I was trying to take pictures of him-without the flash. When those pictures turned out badly I resorted to using the flash and the picture actually turned out better than I thought it would.

Extra Pictures

NATURE

For photo number five I chose to shoot pictures of nature. I took many of pictures of smaller things and a lot of them turned out blurry even though I had it in the macro setting. This left me with only half of my pictures to choose from, but they are all good. Many of my pictures are of flowers because they are the only thing I could take pictures of. My feature photo is  of mushrooms obviously but i don't really like it. I think it is unique and cool but it doesn't appeal to me.

Portrait Assignment

In this assignment we had to take pictures with natural and artificial lighting. I used Miranda Lessner as a photo subject. For the natural light we stood next to a window or place of light and used a piece of poster board to reflect light on the other side of our faces (right photo). For the other picture we used a series of lights to illuminate our faces. There was a bright light on our right, a smaller light to our left, a light behind us to create a "halo" effect and lastly there was a light behind the background making it brighter (left photo). I think this will help me later when i want to take pictures of people and light isn't very available.
