group project part 2

The rest of the group photos.


Sam did a double exposure-type series. I overlaid 2 different photos of him to make a composite image.


Kaeli did street a form of street photography, this one was taken outside in a more natural setting.

Ramona also did street photography, although in a little more candid style.

Giv also did street photography, and I chose to shoot him in a setting outside of school for added authenticity.



Laurence had an avadon-like portrait style, so I photographed him against a solid background.

Lindsey had many still life series. I tried to replicate that, but opted for a bright background as opposed to a dark one.

Group Project Part 1

A series of 6 photos as part of the "group project".

Charlie's photos often revolve around a sci-fi or surreal theme. I thought it would be fun to incorporate this and make it look like he has some superpower ability. Definitely one of my favorite photos of this series.

I noticed that many of Joel's pictures had very interesting textures and backgrounds. I took this photo of him and did a little bit of photoshop overlay to emphasize the interesting texture of the wood behind him.

Jessie's most recent photo set as well as her artist focus showed a great example of nostalgic, almost dream-like photos. I took this one and edited the colors (boosted sepia, decreased exposure value) to give it an aged, nostalgic look.

Iriana's photos reflected what I saw as the traditional "portrait" image a la Avedon. Shot in black and white.

Although my photograph is not the best example, the overall theme I took away from Max's photos was a sense of leading lines. I tried to capture him in the distance with leading lines (in this case the lockers) drawing the attention towards him. I think the lines in the window also add to the photo.

I really liked Nico's photos. They seem candid and "in the moment", capturing people in action as they go about their lives. Shot in black and white, I opted for a slightly slower shutter speed to give the photo some movement to represent an active shot instead of something more staged.
