Experimental Style

I edited this is Picmonkey.  I added a texture overlay, and I changed
the coloring.


This is the first of two photos that I took of Scooty.  It was hard to
get him to allow me to take a picture of him, but once I was
able to I noticed that he has unique features for portraits.  In this
photo he was more hesitant to have his photo taken.

Scooty had three people trying to take his photo when I
took this one of him.  He was about to try to get out of the frame. 

I edited this one to look like it has a "horror" theme.
I edited the color and exposure.  

This is a very edited photo of Stefan.  I cropped the photo, as well as edited
the color, and I added a dirty texture.
This photo is the same as the other, except it is less edited.   I has
more exposure, but it doesn't has a texture on top.

Experimenting

I added text, as well as a texture overlay that makes the photo look darker.
The darkness fades into the photo.

This is supposed to show repetition.  There is a metal texture added.
I added exposure, and I made it black and white.

This is supposed to show fear.  I added red coloring and text.
I changed his eyes to look darker.

Absent-minded is the them of the photo.  I edited out facial features,
added exposure, added a texture, and made the photo black and white.


I added a paint texture on top.  The is focus towards the bottom.

I added exposure and coloring to this photo of the ground.  It is supposed
to look like a sun.

I added the word "contained."  I also added focus and zoom.

There is a fabric texture on top.

I added a faint texture, which made the wood look more colorful

Emulating Alfred Stieglitz (Hands)

This hand is supposed to portray "freedom."  This picture was
taken without the person knowing, which I think makes the
photo more "real."

This photo is more mysterious because the sides of the hand
is blurred, and the hand is dark.

These hands show someone who is relaxed.  The person had their
hands resting on their leg.

This is my favorite photo that I took because the details in
the hand are very clear.  I really like the lighting.

I do not like this photo because the lighting made it so the hand
does not have much detail.  Alfred Stieglitz' photos were successful because
of the amount of detail and emotion in the hands.

This photo is one of my favorites because it is mysterious.
To me, the hand almost looks dead.

This hand is showing someone who is relaxed.

This is another photo that I think is not successful, mainly because of
the watch.  Also, these hands do not look like they have a
natural position.

Macro

This photo is meant to show the darkness of war.  I dimmed the photo
to give it a "dark" feeling. 

When editing this photo, I focused on the coloring.  The color of the
frog is vibrant.  This contrasts with the background because the colors are less bright
and the background is more blurry.

Portraits

This picture is supposed to show the emotion of sadness.
One aspect that evokes sadness is his downcast eyes.

Jacob shows an expression of surprise because he didn't know I was taking a photo of him.
He looked up right as I took the photo.

I told Sydney to do a natural expression; this expression shows calmness.  

Frankie's expression for this photo is blank, this way the viewer sees many different emotions.

I told Chris to keep a natural expression.  After a while, he relaxed.
This is when I decided to take the photo, because his expression look the most "real" at that moment.

In this photo, he didn't know what it was for, so there is an element of confusion.

Emily didn't really want to be in the picture, so her expression shows eagerness to leave.

I like this photo because Cortland is staring right into the camera lens.
His eyes show his  personality.

Light Painting

The magenta light is used to make an outline, and it reflects of of the face.

I decided to upload this picture because it was one of the photos with
an outcome with more shape

Motion Blur

A clock which is slightly blurred from shaking the camera.

This is of a staircase.

Motion blur photo looking upward at a tree.

This is a light which had a red, smaller light on it.
The red light is a lot more prominent when the photo is blurred
