photo team

Stefan has been taking photos of flowers and making them the only part of the picture with color, so I tried to do that too. He also has a lot of negative space in his photos, so I darkened parts of the bush behind him.

Maria has a lot of pictures of signs and usually puts a lot of contrast. She also takes a lot of pictures of buildings and architecture, so I had her stand in front of a wall (with a sign) that could be thought of as part of a house.

John takes a lot of pictures of nature, so I had him sit in front of some green plants. He has been using the liquify effect, so I tried to add that element in as well. I didn't go all out with that effect like he does sometimes, but I added a small wave to experiment with it.

Nora takes photos of nature. I had her stand in front of a flower bush. She adds contrast and bright colors. I tried to do that, but it's not my favorite thing to do. I don't think I did that well, either. She's taken photos of reflections too, so there's a reflection of Stefan's face in his camera.

Cara has a lot of pictures of texture. I had her stand in front of the exact pole that she's been photographing. She usually intensifies her photos and really makes them pop out, so I tried to do that as well. Most of her photos are black and white, so I decreased the saturation on some parts of the picture, causing a sort of black and white effect.

Roxie's photos mainly consist of structure and reflections. There's a reflection in the truck window. I had her sit on a newspaper stand in front of a parked UPS truck. The truck provides angle and structure, while the sky and her hair seem a bit more relaxed. Some of her photos are completely architectural, while others can have more "free" elements or fluidity. The sky in her pictures is usually dull and a bit faded, so I tried to do that too.
