Photo Team

For Johns photo, I tried to mimic the simplicity of his photography.  His photos tend to be clean and crisp with not much of a distraction between the background and the subject of the photo.
For Marias photo, I tried to capture the creativity of her photography.  To do so I used her reflection to place her creatively into the photo.
For Roxie, I tried to capture the intensity of her photos.  Her photography style focuses on intense portraits.  To do so, I used the Drew Garage because of the great textures the cement has.
For Sabrinas photo, I mimicked her collection using a previously taken photo of a body part and then incorporated into the actual photo.
For Sasha's photo, I mimicked her style by taking a very intense, yet easy on the eyes photo.  I used a lot of bright lighting and I personally think this photo to be a great success.
For Stefans photo, I mimicked his style by incorporating both leading lines and negative spacing.  I had to wait till the weather cooled to capture his style because of the quality of the sky, which he likes to use.

 In this weeks assignment, we captured photos of our classmates in their own personal styles.  It was an interesting project that allowed me to use a variety of styles and analyses my classmates and their photography style.  This was one of my favorite assignments because i was able to work with many different styles.  It was also a great final post for my junior year at Drew School.  My favorite photo that I've taken in this collection is by far that of my friend Sasha, the third to last photo.

Best of Negative Spacing and Textures







This is my series final for negative spacing and textures.  I had a lot of fun working with this style of photography, and thought overall it was a good experience that gave me some insight on the beauty of simplicity and allowed me to realize how interesting the world really is if you take a minute to examine it.

Negative Spacing and Textures





This week i was again working on negative spacing, but my idea of the project transformed into something else, something different.  I incorporated negative spacing into patterns and textures that i found throughout the city.  I enjoyed this weeks assignment because it was both new and at times challenging to incorporate both negative spacing and textures into individual photo.

Negative Spacing









This week I tried working with Negative Spacing.  It was an interesting week where i experimented with different subjects that I would not usually consider for this assignment.  I also tried working with both black and white and color to give more of a variety to the collection and to allow myself to experiment more with this particular style of photography.

Leading Lines for depth













In this weeks assignment, i worked to capture photos with all different styles of leading lines, to show how there are many ways to create depth through them.  I used leading lines to lead to viewer towards either out of the photo or around it, creating depth in one of the two ways.  I also used black and white to dramatize the depth and used color to allow the eye to follow a certain path in the image.  My favorite photos in this weeks collection would have to be the one of the tree and of the light bulb.
