Assignment #21: Me, myself, and I:



For my final image I decided to photograph myself in my room- yet the lighting never worked out for me so I chose my second favorite area, the kitchen. I chose the setting because I love cooking and when I do cook I wish there were 3 of me to help the others; so I decided to make it happen using photoshop. One of me was doing the dishes because I am terrible at cleaning up as I go, another was getting things out of the fridge because I like to keep dairy products in the cold as long as possible, and the last of me was stirring because sometimes I forget to "stir constantly" while grabbing the other ingredients.

    I can't decide if I like the image or the explanation better! I wish I had three of me at times, too! Very nice.

Assignment #13: Surreal:

What is the difference between surreal and real? To me, I think that being real is something that is right in front of you, and raw. Whereas when I think of surreal it is unusual and not really possible, except in an imagination setting. What does it mean when someone says: "That's so SURREAL!"? When I hear someone say, "That's so SURREAL!" or just surreal, I think of something sort of weird and out of the ordinary, specifically Salvador Dali's painting of melting clocks, to me surreal automatically makes the subject seem out of sorts and part of the imagination. René Magritte For inspiration on surrealism, I chose Magritte because his ideas are things that seem ordinary but are in fact extraordinary. At first glance of Magritte's work subjects seem quite normal but then after a minute or so viewers begin to realize that the subject is strange and impossible. Or, in the surreal paintings the ideas make viewers question moti

Assignment #20: Wrapped Object:

Image
Some Ideas: A person wrapped in one color and placed in a contrasting color, for example, my friend has a room that has a red color scheme and a red leather chair. My idea would be to wrap her in a blue, pale blue, gauze on the harsh brick red chair. To make the image more unique I plan on wrapping her body closely and having her hold a cup of coffee while wearing jewelry, making it so only her   body  is wrapped.  If this idea doesn't work, I am still intrigued with the idea of contrasting colors. I would get a cheap chair, I would have to buy for this project, and I would wrap it in a red gauze using a purple ribbon. I plan on taking this to a beach and placing it in the blue water. Another idea, similar to the idea of using  or placing a wrapped object in a normal scene as with the person. I was thinking of wrapping a phone with brown paper with twine and stamping the word "Fragile" on it. And having a person pose with the phone as if on a phone call.  My

Assignment #24: TED Talk:

In his TED Talk, David Griffin, talks on overall the standards that photo journalists have and the lengths they have gone to in order to capture photographs. He talks about specific photographic journalists for National Geographic and the untraditional ways they have told stories through their images. One of the best stories that Griffin told during his TED talk was of a journalist who traveled to Chad to photograph a small animal reserve, with a large elephant population threatened by poachers. After the photographer began following the matriarch of the herd for weeks he discovered her and 20 other members of her herd slaughtered for their ivory. Capturing her beauty alive, her innocence when slaughtered, and her reign when the park rangers retrieved her stolen ivory, depicted her unique photographic story in her habitat.  David Griffin made a point about individuality and original depiction of relevant ideas and issues. For example, when on assignment an underwater photographe
