P1-Photoshop Self Portrait

For this self-portrait I solarized the picture and added the tiles to make it look like puzzle pieces. I chose the tiles because although I may be smiling on the outside, I am somewhat broken on the inside. The tiles don't fit together perfectly, which shows that I am not perfect and I have many missing pieces to my puzzle. I chose to solarize my print because I liked the blue-green color it turned out to be.

P1-Scavenger Hunt/Studio Portrait

I enjoyed using the digital camera more than the 35mm film camera because I like being able to see my pictures after I take them and I like the color instead of just black and white. Also, I didn't have to worry about my film being rolled and developed and possibly turning out badly and then having to redo it all. Using the film camera is a much longer and more complicated process, and therefore I am glad we finally got to use the digital camera.

Scavenger Hunt

I decided to take this picture right after it had snowed because I wanted to capture some bright whites and snow is just really beautiful in general. I angled this picture in a way as if I was looking through the bench. I wanted to get a unique perspective and get in close. I like the way this picture turned out because it creates a nice depth of field and makes the viewers eye move around the picture.

Studio Portrait

I liked this picture because the shadow fell nicely on her face and made it look a little mysterious. I ended up cropping off the negative space because it didn't do much for the picture. The light was shining on half of her face, in an attempt to capture a shadow on the other half. I wish I had gotten this picture from a different angle, instead of just straight on, to provide more interest.
