Winter Portfolio 

Artist Statement: This week worked on our final product. I chose 23 of my best photos that I took within the last month. I thought these where my strongest. I tried to make the subject darker than the back round. I thought all these photos when well together.

Draft 5

Artist Statement:  This week was the last week we were working on our personal projects. This week I wanted to focus on taking photos of only people. I tried to capture each person of guard so it wouldn't seem posed. I wanted to continue editing my photos in black and white because I think they look better all together. I tried to make each subject in my photos darker than the background so they would standout. I thought I definitely improved since we started this project and I think this week and last weeks photos were the best. 

Draft 4

Artist Statement: This week I focused on creating pictures that not only go well together but to also standout separately. My main focus was to try and take a blurred image of a subject, preferably a person, and catch them in motion. It took a while to figure out the right shutter speed for the camera, but once I could get that down, it was all about object in the photo. I took photos of people walking, running or dancing, while I shook the camera side to side to create these photos. It is definitely hard to capture these people in motion but also making the object in the picture clear. I think this has been the most successful week of photos due to the fact that I now have a grip on what techniques I should use to take these photos.
