Zoo

These pictures, all taken during the Zoo field trip, are a few of my favorites and make up a majority of my wildlife photographs.

Chapel

For architecture, the class went down to the chapel. I noticed that the pews were in a perfect row and wanted to capture repetition. I got low to the ground and took the shot from an angle.

Story

For my story picture I decided to go in a completely different direction and try to capture the story of s song. I took Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" and captured the emotion someone would feel were they trapped on the other side of the glass.

Falling

For my falling photo, I wanted to capture the suspension of a person in air. After watching a scene in slow motion, I noticed how parts of the body move more slowly than what the human eye allows us to see.

Water Action

Right after the first storm of the season, I went to a local creek only to find that it had transformed from a droll, dribbling stream into a roaring, rushing creek. I wanted to capture the movement of the water in my picture, so I got low to the ground to take my shot.

This picture, taken of Mercy girls gossiping, was taken as a candid portrait. We were given an assignment to go out into the hallways and take a picture of something we thought would be interesting. Going with traditional stereotypes, I looked for girls gossiping.

Scanner Art

In an effort to take pictures without the use of a camera, our class created Scanner Art, making pictures by using a scanner and Photoshop to create abstract art.
This picture focuses mostly on the subliminal, making the texture a vital element. By combining this with emphasis, I created an inquiring mood.

Ansel Adams

Taken on the Mercy campus, this picture was created in an attempt to mirror the techniques utilized by Ansel Adams.
I focused on the main principle of bright whites and dark blacks. Also, the lines created by the trees bring attention to the top of the photo, where the brightest white are. Also, the trees create somewhat of a symmetry.

Sunprint

This picture, a sun print, was our first project as a class. Taking oddly shaped items from our houses, we created shadows on a piece of paper and exposed it to sunlight.
I focused on color and emphasis when editing this photo. I wanted to create a sense of hidden gem in daily life, highlighting that which is obviously and inherently good.
