Draft 1

Fall Draft 1

Artist Statement: This week we begin to study our own photographers. I decided to learn about Mike Moats and his techniques he used. He is a macro photographer which means he takes photos of plants, animals and flowers up close. In his photos you are able to identify different patterns and colors because each photo is very different from one another. When taking these photos, you needed to be able to maintain patients and focus so that you can get the right picture. I also edited my photos by bringing up the color saturation on each one so they are cohesive with one another. I really enjoyed this weeks work. 

Design Portraits

Artist Statement

       
This week we focused on the technique of design portraits. The objective of this week was to take picture with textured background that matched the person presence. The main object in the photo was the physical appearance of the person and how they cohesively went with the background. I found this assignment quite difficult because it was hard to find different backgrounds that weren't to distracting and to find the write model to use for that specific place. I edited my photos in black and white because I wanted my pictures to blend well together.
