Panoramic Image


This is my series of photos that I used for my panoramic image. What better explains winter than snow covered woods in the freezing winter season. This image is taken in my yard at mid-afternoon. Some of the lighting changed fromn photo to photo, but overall I think they combine to one image nicely. I color balanced the image and changed the highlights and shadows to improve the quality.

Macro Photo



For this photo I used the macro setting on my camera, it blurred the closest object and made the rest of the scene clear. The crystal in the front is the focal point but guides the viewer's eye to the back of the photo because of the angle of the objects. I also like how the natural light in the window was captured throught the crystals to add the natural light to the rest of the picture.

Multiple People


This muliple people photo was taken in the living room off of a balcony to give a different perspective instead of straight on. It makes the photo more interesting and creates a birds eye view.

Multiple People


This is my first muliple people photo. I went to Starbucks with Tori and so I decided it would be neat to take multiples of her for this project. Some of the copies of Tori are talking to another Tori. Others are drinking coffee, staring, or cleaning up. If you're wondering what that white-yellow thing is in the photo, it was a cone because the floor was slippery.

Lorie Novak Emulation



This photo in the series of three is to represent the happy and not so serious side of a sister friendship. I changed the opacity, contrast, and dodged some areas that needed a highlight. I think this captures the esscence of what Lorie Novak is all about. She uses family photos an incorporates them in nature.

Lorie Novak Emulation




For this photo I decided that family was the theme, so I captured two subjects together. They are actually sisters! I wanted a more serious picture to show the serious side of a sister relationship. I again had these subjects appear in nature being transparent with uneven edges like Novak.

Lorie Novak Emulation


Since Lorie Novak is known for her people in nature, I decided that it would be neat to emulate her photos by making my subjects transparent with an uneven edge. Novak's subjects make one wonder what the subject is thinking. I believe that my series of three have captured the emotions of love, tranquility and subjects who are deep in thought. This photo was enhanced with contrast and dodged in areas of her face so it would show up. The layer with the girl's face was moved over in front of a nature scene to emulate Novak.
