These artists inspire me and my art. I really love the beauty in all different kinds of art and technique. I enjoy many different styles and genres of art as well. Like Joshua Hoffine's horror photography to Jordan Matter's dance photography to Renoir's beautiful painting, "In the Meadow." Each art has it's own beauty and meaning, you just have to find what it means to you.

Then and Now

The models in "Then & Now 1" are my dad and younger brother. The models in "Then & Now 2" is just my younger brother. I wanted to choose photos where you can see the difference on how my brother was when he was little and how he is now. These photos are him from about 2 to 3 years old to him now, being 15 years old. I couldn’t use the same environment or the same clothes. But I used the same people, similar clothes, and same poses. This was a bit difficult, because both my brother and dad are goofy and awkward, so it was hard for them to do this right. It was also difficult because I couldn’t capture the same natural reactions as in the original photos.

I couldn't really take that many photos on todays walk because my camera died after the sixth one. But this is what I came up with.

Mosaic Project

I went to the park on a cold, cloudy and windy day. The sky was mostly grey, but it started to clear as I was taking pictures. You can see the color of the sky reflecting in the water. This project was fun, interesting and a little challenging to do, but I enjoyed it.



Reflection

For this assignment I had to capture reflection. I wanted to get a reflection from an object that isn’t used common like a mirror or a window. So with this image I found these metal balls that are used for stress. It’s not the most interesting object used, but I think it is different. And it captures my reflection very clearly as well as my living room. I think this photo is a success because of how clear the focus is and it shows depth and the lighting is good.

Photo Walk



When I looked up I saw a bird land on this tree. I thought it was a nice thing to view, this single bird alone. So I wanted to share this image with you.

Partner Project

My partner was one of my bestfriends Shontae. I did this whole project today and I could've done a better job if I had more time.

Relaxation

        These photos represent relaxation. My sister, the model, decided on this theme. I had to capture her relaxing in a calm environment. I couldn't have the lighting be too extreme. I thought this would fit the theme. I've been interested in photography ever since I recieved my first camera at the age of 7, but I only started to pursue this interest during the past year. I started because I want to become a photographer.
