Series Project

My series project is based on the photographer Galen Rowell.  He was an inspirational landscape photographer who captured his shots wild and up close, the first landscape photographer to break the staged shot style.  In my project, I have tried to imitate this by capturing my photos by climbing.

Narratives

In this weeks assignment, we were told to create collages of narratives.  We needed to create a story and act it out in scenes.  This was not one of my favorite assignments.   I found this weeks assignment to be entertaining, but not very noteworthy.  My favorite piece is the second to last one of the fight.  A special thanks to Chris Wong, Griffin Walsh, Richie Leon, and Zoe Byl.

For this assignment we were told to create scenes and worlds with toys.

Portraits

In this weeks assignment, we tried to imitate Richard Avedon's portrait style.  This style of portrait involves just the subject, without any distraction like a background or props.  In this style of portraits, you are trying to capture the subject as sincere and "raw" as possible.  My favorite photo in this collection is the second to last photo. 

Motion

In this week assignment, we were told to capture photos of motion.  I focused on capturing light motion photos because of their uniqueness and their interesting shapes and colors. In order to capture these light photos, our class would enter a dark room and shoot at color lights at the lowest aperture  I also captured a few photos of motion.  The last photo in this collection, of the car, is my favorite and the best example of motion through objects and light.

Depth through Foreground and Background / Repetition

In this weeks assignment, we had to capture depth again, only this time through repetition and foreground and background. Depth through foreground and background was pretty simple for me while using repatition was difficult for me at first, but eventually I was able to capture some strong photos that really work.  I am really happy with my work for this assignment and hope that you guys will enjoy it as much as I do!

Depth through lines

In this week assignment, we captured photos with depth using linear lines.  In all these photos there is a leading line that actually creates that sense of depth that you may see.  My goal was to capture strong depth through the leading lines.
