Past favorites: portraiture

Hello everyone!

So as I have said before, I have been photographing for years. I thought it high time I showed you some of what I do. These are some of the portraits I have taken over the years.. in order from past to present!

This is one of my first portraits ever taken. (Back in 2017). I took this of a good friend of mine and, from what I remember, I increased the contrast and turned the photo into black and white.

This photo was taken in 2018, around the time my love of photographing people really took off! I bet you couldn’t guess who I mainly photographed.. Madison of course. I believe I edited this picture by reducing contrast and adding saturation while reducing vibrance.

My photos really took off after that, as this is only a few months later. I added warmth and saturation to turn this from overcast to a bright and sunny day!

However, not every photo has to be pretty and posed. I edited this to the extent of vintage themed, however I do not remember how, I know lowering the saturation and adding warmth was a part of it.

And now in here we are. My favorite way to photograph people is by planning a theme and editing around that. I love creative and mystical elements and enjoy making my subject look like there from a different time/ world. The last photo was edited something to the extent of adding magentas and reds, then upping the contrast and adding vintage filters. However, the first photo was done in simple contrast and saturation adding, and I love it just as much!

Assignment 2: 3D

For my Assignment I've decided to upload these photos below as it shows my experience through learning 3D editing. This first photo is probably my least favorite. i love the colors in my suncatchers but because of the background the do not stand out as much as i would like. This next photo is one of my favorites. The clock in the background creates a double image, which does not bode well for the 3D effect. However, i believe it creates and interesting image that really caught my eye. I am undecided on this particular image. while the effect is there, I do not see this as a particularly interesting image to look at. This last photo in my favorite. The image was not very colorful to begin with, but desaturating it makes it stand out so much more.

Photography Exposure

Epcot center (Asia)- kSc What does a photograph mean to you? For me, it is a way to capture exactly what I see in that moment. This could be a memory, a reminder or a time. It could also be a way to capture what you feel in a particular moment. The beauty of it all is that photographs themselves are so simple to look at but can usually entice all different types of emotions. And a person does not need to be a proficient to create these images. One only needs a camera and the means to learn what makes an enticing photo. What A marvelous hobby indeed. Madison Downtown- kSc Within my short life I have found photography to be one of my many artistic escapes. With a camera in my hand, people usually tend to shy away from my lens and as a result, they leave me alone. This is quite the relief for a social outcast like myself. However, I do often enjoy a subject to capture, and when no one else is willing I can find enjoyment in photographing my dearest friend, Madison Alexander. ...

More about the Author

Hello again! Without no further introduction, here is a little but more about me. I grew up and went to high school in Adamsville Tennessee. I never played any sports, but I was heavily involved with my school's art program. This involved taking 2 semesters past the available art classes as well as organizing a super cool glow in the dark art show. I attended Bethel University originally planning to become a nurse. However, after a couple of tries I realized that it just wasn't for me, and switched my major to art. I now plan to get my master's in fine arts after graduation and hopefully one day teach at NYU. Some things to know about me are that I am a huge Harry Potter fan, Slytherin being my house. I enjoy pretty much any music that is not country, but my favorite artist is probably Russ or Korn. I am currently dabbling in tattoos and would love to get an apprenticeship someday. Lastly, I love to travel; New York and New Orleans are my favorite places to be. If you wou...
