Reflection for Yellow Boat Assignment-Child Poverty

Reflection: Within my Child Poverty Assignment, I had approximately 4 models within my photos. The objects I used were dirty such as the glass. I mostly focused on the background to create a better emphasis on the poverty the children were suffering from. The objects had to be close to show how poverty has deeply affected children worldwide. Ultimately, the children that were used in these photos had to act depressed to affect the viewers and to cause them to make an attempt to change and get rid of the poverty. The work is both figurative and abstract due to the fact that the photos were put into a figurative aspect while the 3D image put the work into an abstract art. The shapes that were portrayed in the photo was meant to be out of place to show that children that suffer from poverty are out of place with the rest of the world, like as if they were lost from the society. The tones had to be dark to create a powerful understanding for the audience. The images that were used were in focus and was actually done intentionally to show the depression of children suffering from poverty. The images were intentionally put as dark photos because it brought out the emphasis of poverty and would have made the audience understand more rather than to have a light photo. They were taken outdoors because I found it difficult to take poverty photos indoors. I believe my work was unsuccessful because I felt like I could have done better with the environment and the clothing on the children. The pictures I took as well didn't quite peek my interests.

Motion Assignment

"Flash"

Reflection: Within the photo: "Flash", I used a f-stop of 6(?) and a shutter speed of 1000s. In this photo, Kevin is deliberately running away from something as fast as he can as if something was chasing him. There were no objects used in this photo except Kevin and the background. Intentionally, the hill had to be far away so I could get a better background within the photo. The work is figurative, however I believe it would be better in an abstract aspect due to how it was portrayed. The shapes within the photo seem to be out of place since this was a movement photo which brought out the misplacement of the things that were in the photo. This image is not in focus and was done intentionally to fulfill the requirements of the assignment. The image seems to be darkish because as Kevin is running away, I wanted to portray a malicious appearance as he is running away from what is chasing him. This photo was taken outdoors because I believed it would have been easier for Kevin to run outside. I believe my work was a success because I was able to take the picture with Kevin running while panning.

Shallow Depth of Field Assignment

"The Hook"

Reflection: In the photo of "The Hook", I used a f-stop of 8 and a shutter speed of 1000. The objects that were used in this photo was a bottle opener, how convenient is that? Anyhow, the object is somewhat close for the audience while the background is blurred, however you can still see Kevin. The work is in an figurative aspect to put a stronger impact on the audience. Within the photo, Kevin is holding a bottle opener that is supposedly supposed to be a hook to signify that people should not mess with him due to his immense power of the hook. The tone of the photo is rather contrasting, but I tried to make the tree lighter, as that was my intentional idea. The image is in focus and this was done intentionally to bring out the shallow depth of field effect. The image is rather light in some areas and dark in others because as I was developing my film, I was not able to bring out all black and white tones I needed to make the photo look much better. The photo was taken outdoors due to the fact I like the outside atmosphere and the background from the outside would have been better than the inside. I believe my work was not a success because I was not able to develop the film correctly and I believe I could have taken a better photo than "The Hook".

"Demented"

Emotional Pictures for Digital Art

"Lost"

Reflection: Within the photo of "Lost", the quality of the picture is somewhat inadequate because I used a basic low-end digital camera. The objects that were used was an empty swimming pool that had murky water. The things around the water were ashes, they were used to make a more depressing photo. The objects appear to be at far away because I shot it at a distant. My work was portrayed as a figurative photo because it would put a more emotional touch if it was in a figurative aspect. There weren't much shapes that were captured in the photo but it did have a darkish tone to portray a saddening appearance. The image wasn't in focus because of the camera, it wasn't able to capture a picture in good quality. The work was done accidentally, however I feel content as it turned out somewhat efficient. The image was dark because it was supposed to portray how lonely the person is feeling and how that person is unable to fit with the rest of the crowd because he's lost. The photo was also taken outdoors because indoors wouldn't really be able to capture this type of emotion, while on the other hand outdoors could provide a good understanding. I don't believe this photo was successful because I didn't have enough tones or shapes to make the photo worthwhile to see. Nonetheless the photo didn't have the right amount of emotion for someone to stare and look at the photo long enough.

First Photography Assignment

Jumping off the Walls

Reflection: Within this photo: Jumping off the Walls, I used a f-stop of f/8 and a shutter speed of 1/250s. There weren't many objects that were used in this photo except the wall and the environment around the person. The wall was at a distant when I saw this photo. My work was portrayed in a figurative aspect due to the fact it was basically shot to be figured. This photo shows visuals of a guy named Mark jumping off the wall as he poses some sort of trick in the air. Nonetheless the photo signifies that a person at any age can have a stupendous time or enjoy themselves by finding a good aspect toward a boring surrounding. The work was intentionally focused on Mark because it was supposed to focus on pursuit of happiness. Nevertheless the photo has a lightish look to show that Mark is attempting to find his inner child characteristics. The photo was done intentionally to describe how delightful a person can be when they seek their younger selves. The image was taken outdoors to portray that you should spend some time outside because that would be the primary area on which a person would let their younger selves to unleash. In this photo, I believe my work was successful because I tried to get Mark to deliberately jump off the wall to portray a person somewhat living the "good life".
