Symmetry

Artist statement

This week the three topics were symmetry A-symmerty and balance. Symmetry is where both sides of the picture are the same, almost as if you took half of it and hit paste. A-symmerty is just the opposite, where the sides aren't the same as each other. Balance is where the objects balance each other would by weight and size, for example a big tree and a small tree wouldn't work but two cars of similar build would work

Portraits

Artist statement

This week we took portraits of people looking "vulnerable." We modeled our photos after Avedon and copied his style and themes, like all black and white pictures, a light background and no shadow. I took vulnerability as more than just someone looking sad, I had pictures where Brennan looked sad some where kevin looked mad and confused.

Composition 3

Artist statement:

This week the three kinds of photographs we had to take were leading lines to a subject which is where we have a line or two acting as kind of a guide up to a person or object for the subject. The second was arrangement of lines which were pictures where the lines were the main focus of the picture. The last of the three were decorative lines which are is you removed the lines in the picture the item in the center or focus would still be there.

This week the three styles we did were Depth staging, leading lines, and repetition. The goal with depth staging is having two things in the frame, one closer to the camera and the other is farther away, so you get the sense of depth and distance between the few. Leading lines is taking lines and having sort of a sense of depth and the lines lead into the distance. The goal for repetition is to have one thing that is repeating is your main focus, and theres another sense of depth in this the the thing that is repeating leads off.
