Gallery Show

1. From my art gallery show, I learned which types of pieces interest people the most. I also learned about the amount of work it takes to create a gallery show and the responsibilities artist have in showing their work to the public.
2. I advise next years AP Photography students to really try to tell a story in their series, it helps convey a more powerful message to audiences and makes your photography more interesting to look at; it was lacking in my series.
3.  This year I learned a lot of principles of design which continue to help my photographs more interesting. I also learned some tips about lighting and exposure.
4. I would recommend changing the light assignment to maybe three types of light, with more emphasis on great execution of light. I think it is a very valuable assignment that we could have learned even more from.
5. This year I learned that my technical skills did not meet the standards in which I wanted to meet in my images. Imagining an image working is much easier than executing it; it's all about being in the right place at the right time with the right light or a way to illuminate things to have great light.
6. In the future I will continue to take photos frequently. I hope what I have learned in AP Photography will enhance the photos I continue to take of nature, family, friends, and wonderful places around the world.

New Triptics & Diptics & Tea

Final Images

 

 

Week 5

 I took these photos during spring break. I tried to capture vivid color in foods.

Week 5

I ate these things this weekend. I went to 10 Speed Coffee and I ate doughnuts and meadow flavored tea. I loved the way they put the fresh tea in the bag so we really knew what was in it. I made merguanes and pumpkin bread this weekend as well. I like laying out the ingridients to really show my process.

End of Week 4

This week I've experinted more with fresh fruit. I plan to use the image of the bananas below in a diptic or photostory with banana bread. I would like to bring out more of a mood in my photos and have an underlying message. I watched a documentary on a photographer, Sylvia Plachy. I also created a diptic to show that the desire was satisfied by getting a macron.

Week 4

The macrons have shadows to show the dark side of gluttony and lust for food.

Week 4

I am using more natural foods in addition to taking photos of baked goods. I made fresh juice from fruits and vegetables from the greenhouse we are apart of. I am making the food as down to earth as possible. I look at food and it looks ALIVE.

Week 3 Follow Up

Last weekend in Bend at Nordic State I took photos of a variety of desserts I made for our banquet. I tried to make the food look as delicious as possible. The photos capture the desire and sweetness of the food. I am trying to make viewers want it.
