Academic Shoot

1. In the image above I was trying to use the Rule of thirds I believe I followed this rule very well. The focus of the image is off centered.
2. The focus is the girl in the red jacket with a stripe who is reading a book.
3. Yes, because I used the rule of thirds and her jacket is red so it attracts your attention. 
4.It's very clear in this photo. 

 1. In the photo above i was trying to use the lines rule because there are lots of lines in the photo. I personally beleive that that would not be your first guess, but it kind of shows it.🤷
2. The main focus of this picture is the boy in the blue sweatshirt that says the word "Tommy" as in Tommy Hilfiger.(Blake B.) 
3. I think it is very clear because the boy is the only person in the photo besides the two heads who annoyingly got in the picture.
4. It is very obvious to me what the subject is and I think I showed it very well. 

 1. I also used the rule of thirds in this photo too, BUT I have two subjects in this work. 
2. The TWO subjects in my work are the girl who is on the right (Carson) and the boy on the left (Daniel).
3.Yes, because they are the only two people in this work
4. Who really knows because the boy on the left is kinda of a merger. He's wearing black so he's blending in with the shadow from the plant behind him. 

 1. I sort of used simplicity in this piece, but I didn't do it intentionally 
2. The main subject is the guy in the black shirt holding the egg that looks super weird. 
3. Yeah I think that the subject of the photo is pretty clear, because he's supper close and the camera focused on his hands. 
4. Nope its SSUUUUUPPPER CLEAR what my subject is...

B&W Part 2

Imogen Cunningham (1883 – 1976) She was a great photographer. She captured the world with her lenses, and had some very successful photos of people. History will always have their faces thanks to her.  She was born in Portland, Oregon in 1883. She studied at the Technische Hochschule in Dresden on a graduate scholarship.

In 1947 Cunningham began to teach photography, although she continued to do so intermittently until 1973. She published a book titled "Imogen Cunningham: Ideas Without End A Life and Photographs"  and a book called "After Ninety". She lived a long life filled with grace. She has lots of amazing works of art to show for her time on this earth.

Trust Fall

1.I think her face is really hilarious, thats why I picked this specific work. 

2.This image shows simplicity, but not entirely. If all you saw was the girl falling you would be slightly freaked out by the picture so the photographer had to show the people down below who are gonna catch her.

Edge of the Word

1.I really love the sunset in this photo, and I think the silhouette is magnificent. 

2.This representation has a great example of balance in between his legs there is a triangle. 

HOW I WILL DO IT 

I could take pictures like these by the football fields or on the stairwells or possibly a classroom. 

I could create pictures like this in any 2nd floor classroom, maybe a A hall class.

I will accomplish great pictures such as these by moving my body to get a good angel. 

Pre Academic Shoot

The Story

This picture is the one that really grabbed me, because I can visualize my own scenario. Imagine this, a large class spending one day of fun playing with the large tarp that we used all the time in elementary. Flying in the air looking for the joy that they once had as a little kid. 

Action & Emotion

I really like this picture, because of the pure happiness that you can see spread across her face. They are probably at some field trip to a butterfly center. While the photographer really captured the moment with the angel and her smile. 

Filling the Frame

I really appreciate this photo, because it's so cool how you can see the sparks flying in the darkness. Not to forget the awesome the helmets are with the flaming skull. Even better yet, it's not just one student welding, but 2!

Shoot Reflection

1. One thing that I struggled with during the first prompt shoot was really trying to capture the Bowie aspect of it all. Bowie is such a big and diverse school so I didn't know how to capture it in a picture. 

2. I was very focused on how to make sure the person looking at my photographs would know what I wanted to take the picture of. I want the viewer to know what I'm thinking. What my subject is, and how I did this is I made sure my camera was focused on the thing I wanted it to be on. 

3. I found myself mid-shoot moving my body to get that perfect or solid background, so that I could have the best picture I could possibly take. 

4. I would like to think that every picture I took has shown at least on rule of photography, but I still couldn't tell you what the one that is supposed to be bowie is showing. I could probably fix that, but I like that picture sooo deal with it. 😛😇🤠

5. I would like to shoot the "Happy" prompt again, because there are just so many things that come to my mind when you bring up the word happy. there are just endless things that make different people happy. It also might be that I'm a normally optimistic person and I like happy things. 

6. Even though I like all the prompts we got I was wishing that this week we could do a some prompts like sad, dark, and groggy pictures. The reason I'm putting this out there is, because its rainy this week and I think that would really help with the whole sad vibes.
