2nd post

My project originally was based on Ray Metzker. He has a new unique style using shadows and shaped to compose a picture.  He also uses lots of contrast when editing his pictures.  for the first half of my project i really tried to use his style as a line to follow.  But for this half of my pictures slightly changed the style.  i still used lots of contrast and shapes to compose my pictures, but in Ray's pictures the ratio of black to white is very uneven.  there are a lot more black shapes in his photos that white shapes.  i did the oppostie.

Avedon

these are my avedon photos.  he likes to take portraits of people in front of white or plane backgrounds.  he also captures the real emotions of the people he takes pictures of.   i tried to mimic his style by doing exactly that. 

Dorothea Lange

these are my dorothea lange photos. she shoots in black and white and takes a lot of photos with people it them.  not necessarily a portrait but she still will capture emotion in each picture without putting all of she focus on a face. 

Depth Repetition and Leading Lines

These pictures are depth repetition.  most of my pictures i later edited to be black and white.  the only reason why i left the last one colored was because i though the color was really strong yet gentle.  i also took two of my photos while on the street.

These is my set of leading lines.  my last photo also has elements of repetition but i consider this more leading lines.  All of them are in B&W except for the third picture because i wanted to make the bright orange barriers the pop out.  All the others are in B&W so that i can emphasize texture because i think that it make the leading lines more apparent.

These are the rest of my depth pictures.  these are all the one that i couldn't really find a place for among the perspective and the leading lines.  Although in a way they are depth that don't have the same features as the other photos do.  

  

Design 1

this is my series of line design, decorative and leading subject photos. for two of my line design photos i took pictures of cracks in the pavement and for the other i took picture of what looks like a drip stain.  I had the most trouble with decorative photos because i don't have a great eye for anything "decorative".  I had the easiest time with the Leading  to subject photos.  I took one of them at alta plaza and another of a gap in the doors at drew.  my last was pointing down into the a large bucket with cracked segment at the bottom.

Composition #1

This is my set of rule of thirds photo.  i took these photos within a block or two radius of the school.  i tried to have the subject of focus be either a round circular shape of a rigid square shape.  I also tried to place each subject in the same spot of the "rule of thirds grid" with the exception of one.

this is my set of triangular photos.  i either tried to took pictures of objects with a triangular shape or a collection main focuses to create a triangle.  one of my pictures is in black and white just so i can emphasize the triangle it creates.

this is my set of diagonal photos.  this is the set that challenged me the most. i dont know why but i had trouble finding diagonal lines and taking different angles to create a good diagonal.
