Abstract Photo



Since Abstract refers to photography which elements do not have a define pattern. I created the similar thing, this image also represents myself because it contains a cowboy hats that symbolizes my birth place Mexico. Every time I see this photograph it takes me back to my ranch in Mexico, where everywhere you go you see people walking this there cowboys hat. This picture represents myself in many different ways. Enjoy the mixture of patterns and shapes that abstract is.

I didn't choose where to photograph ,but the scene end up being interesting because of all the different shapes and patterns that appeared in the background.

Semester Final Grade

2.In order to get to my website please click this my Wix link.

4. This Semester my favorite blog post has actually been my Most Influential Teacher. Some reason on why I liked this post is because I was able to honor my teacher and show her the reasons why I fin her to be such an influential teacher. Also we were able to do so by taking portraits of them which I love doing because what can be a better thing to photograph then the most beautiful creation on earth in other words humans. One last reason is I learned about other famous photographers including my favorite Yousuf Karsh.

5.My favorite photograph this semester I took is:
I have provided the original and the one I edited because I find that they are equally important to me with no difference simply the color is brought out more. Some reasons on why this is my favorite photograph I took this semester is because it doesn't seem as if it was take at a school ,but rather at a studio. Also there eyes say more then anyone might believe because through their eyes I can see that they are smiling and they're happy. Another reason is including the clothe was a good thing since it made the picture more interesting for me. Those are just three reasons why this photography is my favorite one this semester.

6.My BEST picture this semester:

I believe this is my best photography this semester for three reason. One of them is I find that everything is in focus which is what I wanted it to be because this is a close up picture. Second, every little detail can be seen especially in their eyes and eyelashes which are in focus. Finally this picture has a lot of saying in it that people can tell by looking at it either close up or far away ,but the story is there.

7. Three advantages for working in groups:

1. One big advantage of working in groups is that more ideas are brought up because the more people we have the more minds to think of photography themes.

2. Another one is we help each other when it comes to taking pictures in and working with the camera it makes it easier to quickly go out and shoot.

3. A finally reason is in a group we become comfortable with each other and we take be honest  on the photographs each of us take making us improve more in advanced photography.

8. "Photo Journalism"
