depth of field

I  took pictures of leaves leaves and my lacrosse gear. i went to my back yard and i went to cool creek park. i set up my scene in nature. i used the rules of composition to make my pictures better by centering them the right way and adding things that make them pictures more interesting. i chose my subject matter to be things that have good color and things that show my personality. i incorporated  my voice as an artist by adding things to the picture to make them unique. this photoshoot made me view my world differently by appreciating space in nature and objects. my strengths in this assignment were showing my voice as an artist. my weakness in this assignment was my knowledge of the camera i was using. i would have used a different setting and camera is i had the option.

the future

           Question: where do you see photography in the next 10, 50, 100 years?

             i see photography more advanced than we can imagine. photography and technology have advanced so much in the past 10 years that in 10 more years or even 50 that the things that could happen are endless. i think that social media will start to be an even bigger part in the world and everyday life. most people now cant go a day without social media. i think that eventually physical paper photos will be nonexistent. i think everything will be digital and maybe by that time they will be holograms for the most part. technology and art have already converged but i think they will be one and the same in the future. i think that artists will be held in a higher regard in the future because the art that they make will be functional in the real world. i hope that the art and photography of the future will be beyond the realm of our minds right now in 2015.

color composition photoshoot

This is the photo i took for my color yellow composition photo shoot. I chose this photo because i love the way that the top of the flower out of focus but the middle of the flower is in focus. it looks like the flower is poping out of the photo. i used the rules of composition for focus and creative with colors. i think that i used my voice as an artist by choosing this flower. next time i would take a more detailed picture and more subject matter.

philosophy

Q: What is the purpose of a camera?

      I think the purpose of a camera is to capture a moment. I think that cameras are used to show the details of moments that our brains might forget if they hadn't been captured right then. I personally know that sometimes if i did something with my friends i will remember it better is there are pictures taken. Memories can fade but pictures can be there to refresh something that could have been forgotten. I love how pictures can show details and they can show small moments that the average person won't see.
