I was asked if i could take Senior photos of my friends brother. This was my first attempt at taking Senior Photos and ended up with 75 different photos for him to choose from.

 

This reminds me of a project i did around the Impact of Technology and Human Beings. And this photograph really does capture it in a different setting through the use of photo montage.

I chose these three photographers and these pieces specifically  because they all work around some type of fantasty or dream like approach.

This is one of my favorite photographs i have ever taken. It was very much  in the moment and capturing this beautiful creature in such a calm setting. I love how the light bounces off her back and the great range of tones captured in this photograph.

The composition of the three of them is interesting and fire adds a nice element to the photograph as well.

I chose this photograph because i love the movement in the water and the different range of tones i captures within the photograph.

Almerisa, Asylum seekers' centre Leiden, Leiden, The    Netherlands,  Rineke Dijkstra (Dutch, born 1959)1994
 This Artist relates to my work in project #1, because she takes portraits of people that would not always be considered beautiful but in her eyes they are because of the shot itself.

 I added this photograph, because i thought this abandoned truck was very visually intriguing to the eye and is not often seen everyday.

This photograph was captured when i was in New York City and i love it because  of the elongated shot of the mass amounts of store fronts they have in just one location and just how busy the streets are with people.

I chose this photograph because i love how i captured the warm tones of the  sunset in the back ground in relation to the bright colors of the field.

Lewis Hine

Girl worker in Carolina cotton mill

1908 

Hine was a Master because he could really get behind the scene of these children doing labor and capture these extreme elongated angles of this man made machine in contrast with this little girl to emphasis how large and dangerous this Machine is and should not be in the hands of children.

                                                                Julia Margaret Cameron
                                                                          Julia Jackson
                                                                                1867
Julia was a "Master" even though she was an amateur photographer, because she had a great vision when it came to Personal Portraits of people and how she would master the lighting in each photograph giving it a soft feel to the Image. In this photograph she really captures the expression in the Facial features.  http://masters-of-photography.com/

                                                                     Ansel Adams
                                                                    Bridal Veil Fall,
                                                                    Yosemite Valley
                                                                         c. 1927
I believe this Image is in the archive of "The Masters of Photography" Because of the broad range of values within the Image and the Softness of the Waterfall against the dark rocks.

I thought this staircase was very unusual and wanted to capture how it spirals all the way up.

I added this photography because i like the angle of the plastic pink flamingos neck and the lake around it.

I like this photograph because of the way the light is playing with the water

It's great seeing people that are so passionate about music and i could see it with this guy. He was very much into what he was doing at the time.

 

                         Crazy little dog that my great aunt has. Might look innocent but this thing can be trouble

              This is when i was working with a client to promote her hats that she makes.I just love the colors in her hats and how fun they are.

 

                              The colors in this photograph are very relaxing and i love the angle it was taken at!

I chose this photograph because it's truly amazing the timing this guy has when capturing something that happens so quick.

This was the coolest thing i stumbled across when i was visiting people at  CSU, and it was done originally by Andy Warhol

This bridge was very intriguing and i had to get a shot of it.

Every year i help with Relay for Life and this photograph is showing the bags people would buy and dedicate to people that have survived cancer or died from cancer. My mother is in there somewhere as a survivor!

The most appealing thing about this photography is the contrast between the pale white feet and the black gun between them. This is also one of the most powerful images i have seen in a long time due to this artist beliefs.
