This was the first projet we did which was blur motion. This is where we had to take pictures of someone mobing but the background was in focus. We chose this because it was our assignement. These 4 are my favorite because i think the background is very clear and it really captures the concept of blur motion in my opinion and to me they're very aesthetic pictures.

These next four weren't my favorite because some of them are cropped and they just aren't as nice to look at. The whole concept of these pictures could've been better too. I would make sure that i didn't crop anyone and experimented more with the images. This project helped me learn how shutter speed works and it helped me learn how to take more creative pictures.

The next project we did was forced perspective. In this we had to create an illusion with ourselves and another person. We also had this as our second set assignment. I really like these four images because I think they're really great illusions and they're fun to look at.

​

These four are my least favorite because of the fact that they don't really look like illusions and parts of the pictures are cropped where they shouldn't be and i wish i would've noticed as i was taking these pictures. I would try to make more creative illusions and make sure nothing was cropped. This helped me see how pictures have to be visually pleasing and how you really have to angle the camera in the right way in order to get a good picture.

The next project was advanced lighting where we went to the black box and worked with the lights. This was our 3rd set assignment for photo 2. These are my least favorite because i don't like the poses or lighting. I think i oculd've done a better job at positioning my models and making sure the lighting was a little bit better I would shoot these again and make sure that the lighitng was better and that the models had different poses.

​

​

These 4 are my favorite because i really like how the lighting is and how the poses match the mood of the lighting. This project helped me in photography because it helped me work with lights and it helped me work with my models more.

This next project we did was still lifes. This was our 4th assignment to shoot. These 4 are my least favorite because there was no lighting so i think the pictures look really dull and boring which i don't really like. I also wish we would've brought better props. If i shot these again i'd bring better props and use more lights.

​

​

These are my favorite because They actually look visually please and the red light that i had used really made the whole mood for the pictures. These images came out great even though we didn't have a lot of props. This project helped me with using lights more and using props along with it.

This was my first independent project and it was self portraits which was really fun to do considering i had never done them before. I chose this because i thought i would start out simple at first and then work my way up. These 4 are my favorite because of everything i really like the lighting and even the way i'm posing in these. I think they came out really good. 

​

​

These 4 are my least favorite because i don't like how i'm posing in these and i think the angles could've been way better. Next time i shot these i would pose different and take better shots. This project helped me figure out how to work the camera more since i was hands on with it and i had more time to work just me and the camera.

My next independent project was of my friends Hannah and Nicole which was labeled love. I chose to do this because i wanted to work with new models and actually go out and take pictures. These four are my favorite because 3/4 are in natural light and just actually captures the essence of them as a couple. There was two picture where they were kissing but i like this one better because i like the angle of it more.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

These are my least favorite because of this one where they're kissing i don't like the angle or lighting and the two red ones i should've made the red brighter on the camera but i do like the poses. Next time i shot these i would try to get better angles. This project helped me because i was working with other people and it was a challenge to actually capture them just being them.

Next is probably my favorite project i've ever done which is the Milk Bathtub photography. These are also self portraits and i chose to do these because i wanted a challenge and i wanted to step out of my comfort zone. These were my four absolute favorite pictures. I love the poses the lighting and how everything just flowed together in these pictures. I wanted to go for an angelic kind of feeling and i feel like i slightly captured that.

​

​

These four pictures i like but they aren't my favorite mainly because i didn't really like my makeup or the poses. Next time i shot these i would go with colored lighting, different props and different poses. This helped me learn about photography more because it was a challenge to have no one help me with these and it was fun to step out of the box with these.

Next was my contrast project. I chose this because i thought it was just a creative idea and it was really fun to do. I tried to do all black and light makeup and then all darkish makeup and light clothes which obviously is the contrast. I like these because of the poses and lighting and i feel like they capture the contrast concept pretty good. 

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

These are my least favorite because i don't like my poses or the angles i think they could've been a lot better and some pictures are just really awkward too. Next time i shot these i would make them more interesting and have more outfits. This helped me with photography because it helped me put things together and make them work somehow.

The last project was the pictures of my dog. I chose this because i love my dog lots and had never had her in any of my pictures. I like these images because i think they capture me and my dog the best but the only way i could take good pictures was if i was holding her because she's a brat.

These four are my least favorite because i think they were a little awkward but they were still nice. I would shoot this project again but probably somewhere else where my dog could run around. This project made me see how to work with dogs because IT WAS SO HARD.
