spring series 2







I wanted to take pictures of people when they didn't really know they were being taken. Like, when they were fixing their hair, or scratching their head, or doing something, but not posing. They may be bad pictures, but I think they capture their being and nature.

spring series









For this series, I wanted to do portraits. I wanted a picture of the person making a face for the camera, and another with them not really knowing that I took a picture, or the """real""" them. I wanted to edit it to make it really bright and nostalgic, but I'm not sure if that worked. I might do this next week, too.

personal series 4






 For this series, I wanted to make my collages really simple. I wanted just one main subject, and then a background that worked well with it. I tried to make a pathway for the viewer's eyes to follow, but it didn't work out for all of them. I wanted to make them interesting without saying or putting much in. For my next set I'll probably go back to putting a lot more into them if I have enough time.

personal series 3


One of my goals for this series was to really focus on repetition. I also wanted to make my collages even simpler, but still be interesting and have some sort of flow to them. I tried making them so thatthe viewer's eyes would follow in a certain direction.

personal series 2




For the second part of this series, I really wanted to focus on more simplistic, less crowded collages. I also wanted to make them black and white to make the elements of each one stand out. I mainly just used the magazines that were here at school. I wanted to try something different.

personal series




For this series, we got to choose what we wanted to work on, and I chose collages. I chose photos in magazines that were similar in color and emotion. For the first one, I went all out and I'm not really sure which emotion or theme I conveyed. The second one's kind of lame because I made it simplistic and boring, but that's what I was trying to do. I tried to make the third one really strong and realistic. Overall, I looked for background images to start with and built up off of that. I cut out what attracted my eye.
