2013-2014 Semester

1.      In my new subject matter I tried to explore abstraction of nature but in my last photograph I layered two of my old photographs end edited it to create a different abstraction of harmonicas.

2.      My personal connection to this group of photos is my love of nature expressed through abstraction which is my forte. In the photo with Ice leaves and text I tried to express my love of nature and reading

3.      I came upon these ideas by just going with the flow and by using what photos I took and where I went with my camera.

4.      When I edit most of my photos I will usually turn up the contrast to bring more clarity to my photos. I then will change either the lightness, hue, and saturation. Then depending on the photo I will do what it requires.

5.      In these photos I used a lot of movement, repetition, and line all to create that feeling of abstraction.

6.      I challenged myself in this work by forcing myself to do something new and different (something besides musical instruments).

7.      I think what I did well in my work is showing extreme abstractions of nature.

8.      I think I could improve my photos by not making them so flashy.

9.      I want to start the new semester with a new concentration series based on the word melody using schemes and themes to display that idea/word.

10.  I want to challenge myself this next semester by learning new skills in Photoshop and demonstrating 100% abstraction.

 

1. I learned from the gallery was the processes you have to go through as an artist.

2.Some advice I would give to next years AP students is to learn your style as soon as possible if it’s with Photoshop our your picture taking.

3.The biggest positive aspect for me this year is now I have learned  how to see imagery in a new way with rule of thirds, leading lines, texture light, space, and scale.

5. I learned my style in both the way I take pictures and through the way I use Photoshop.

6. I think what I learned this year has changed my eye for photography for the rest of my life if I take pictures now they won’t be the same as they would have been at the beginning of the year.

This are my 12 photos for my concentration I hope you guys will enjoy thanks for your comments and advice.

week 5

     In this week’s set of photos I tried to express different feeling using different range of colors in some of my photos. I also tried to focus on more on line and repetition as a theme in this week’s set.  

WEEK4

    

      In this week’s photos I tried to have a little mellower mood instead of doing bright high saturated photos. I also tried to create a little more old time lonely feel.

This week I experimented with photo shop and tried to make my pictures with less glare. Here are some of my favorite photos that I plan to use on my concentration series.
