Repulsive Photo 1

This is a container of left over thanksgiving dinner. I'm not quite sure what it was, but right when I saw it I thought ewwww gross! It's gewy looking and messy and filled with a mixture of textures.

Attractive Photo 2

I think this photo is attractive because of the different glows of colors. It makes the picture unique in a sense that the Christmas lights are bringing shades of color to brighten areas of the picture.

Attractive Photo 1

I chose this as an attractive photo because of the different colors in my cat's eyes. There are: greens, browns, golds, olives, and shades of black. I think that this is one of those things that we don't realize right away when we look at something because sometimes the smallest details can be the most interesting and beautiful.

Love is Close and Can Be Far

This montage represents how love can be held in the palm of your hands, but it can often be in the distance and hard to find. I took three pictures for this montage. The first in the background is down a narrow road with woods on either side. The second is another background that I blended into the background to make the sun more visible. The last picture is of my hand holding a heart locket. Combining all these photos together I developed the idea of love being in the palm of one's hands and also being in the distance in a person's life.

Waiting In Time

This photo's theme is waiting in time. The girl in the photo is secluded behind bars and waiting, but she can't go anywhere because time is slow. Her emotions are anticipating something coming for her, but she feels stuck in a moment in time. Everyone has one of those days that just drags on and it feels like your in the same place in time for hours and hours. This girl represents anyone who has a day in their life where it never ends. For this photo I decided that I liked a sepia tone for the photo, it just looked more rustic and eyecatching. I like how the clocks are swirled in a spiral representing neverending time. The clocks are also transparent and blurred so the image behind them can be seen. I think that my photo is unified in its color and I think that's what makes it so unique.

Distant Self Image

This photo is about a person who is trying to find who they are, but there is an obstacle in the way. The symbol for the obstacle is the bright light or sun. I put two images of the same person trying to see eachother, but really the girl on the left is looking for herself. I used vivid color and a contrast in the figures shades of color to match the hues in the distance. I made the figure to the right of the photo smaller so the image is realistic in it's proportion. I also payed close attention to the edges of the two figures so they would blend in with the rest of the scene. I captured a picture that has unity, emphasis on the girl on the left, contrast in color and size, and lastly balance within the photo's shapes.

Lost

For this photo I decided I wanted to portray a theme of being lost. I thought that it would be neat to have a contrasting black and white photo with bright colored signs, to create emphasis on the solid black figure. The girl is walking in the photo and is unsure which way to go. Which way refers to a certain direction in her life that she is confused about, a way that is unknown to her. There are things in her life or "signs" that distract her from knowing the right direction to take. This photo combines, color, emphasis, contrast, and shapes to create unity and bring the photo to life.
