Face Scan

The amazing morphed look that happens when scanning your face on a scanner, the black and white, and then the color edited version.

Self Portraits!

With this self portrait thing, I kind of took photos at random parts throughout the week.One of the photos where I have the word laugh on my face is when I was video chatting with my friend and she was Sad so I took  my eyeliner and wrote the word laugh to try to cheer her up. Others I took out of Boredom, or when I woke up to show the blurriness in my eyes, and then while I was reading I set the camera to take pictures at a certain time on an app I found where self timer could go up to 2 minutes. I took it while i was playing with that christmas tree decorating stuff....umm...I think its called a Garland? Maybe. I noticed though that I get bored really easily...and typically when I do that I tend to take pictures of myself doing random weird faces. And on days when I'm actually feeling good about myself I tended to take more pictures of myself, maybe because I felt more confident, or to document the moment. There were a couple pictures I simply took because the sun was out and I wanted the sun to lighten my image and create an interesting glowiness.

Portraits

These photos are of two of the people I had model for me. The first two are of my sister Amaya, I chose to take images of her because she was really hyper at the time she was getting ready for bed, so I thought it was the perfect time to get her energy and attitude captured. I kind of just told her to do random things and to tell me about her day. Those ones were taken in our living room, sometime in October (I think thats when this was assigned....its been awhile)

The rest of the Images are of my friend Rebekah. I decided to take pictures of her before play practice began because we were energetic, and happy and were about to have to contain that for the serious theme of the play. So while I was taking the pictures I asked her questions about her favorite things, and what she liked to do when she was a kid. Oh and her views on Chocolate milk. I also told her to be the opposite of certain emotions and to mess around. We took these in the Lobby of the School Auditorium.

WEB ASSIGNMENT #5: Beauty

Personally I don't think that you can define beauty in photography. Everything has its own way of being beautiful. People have their own way of seeing beauty. I suppose things that can really catch your eye and you just have a moment of amazement. The images that draw you in are truly beautiful. There is a way though, that an image that would otherwise look very ugly, can be photographed and look beautiful, because a photograph has a way of telling a story. Mainly because depending on the picture, say a wound. It may look incredibly ugly, but the way the photo is taken, and perceived, if done in an abstract way, could make it look as if its the most beautiful thing in the world. Beauty shows in photography, because of the stories that are told through the picture. The way that the image can let you in.
