Portraits

These are pictures of  my friends, Grant Phillips. He is a sophomore and goes to Tualatin as well. These pictures were taken at his house after school one day. We were bored and didn't know what to do and then I remembered i had this project to do. I really liked how they turned out










Self-Portraits

I think these pictures really describe the different moods that I was in. I tried to take them on different days and different time of the day.

Beauty Assignment #5


1. How would you define beauty in photography? Beauty in photography are things in their natural state. Not posed but just as they are in nature or a persons natural personality
2. What are the characteristics of photographic beauty? It needs to be able to tell a story
3. Can something "ugly" be photographed and be considered beautiful? Why? How? Examples? Yes, its all about perspective. It would probably take more work to get a beautiful photo but it is possible. You can change the lighting, angles, put different effects on it in order to make it "Beautiful". In this photo, a dying tree was turned into a beautiful photograph through the right lighting angles and effects.

Macro Project

Some of the photos that I took were outside in my front yard. Those ones I was set on taking  pictures for this project and I really like how they turned out. However, some of the other pictures I took inside I wasn't even thinking of this project and then I looked back at them and they were perfect for this project. A couple of the pictures I was actually doing homework and got distracted and ended up taking pictures just because I was bored with math and history. I am over all pleased with the way that my pictures turned out.
