Final Exam

 4. 
 
This photo would be my transformative photo. Before this photo, I was more comfortable with taking pictures of still life and objects rather than people. After taking this picture, I realized I actually really enjoyed taking portraits of people and talking to them while taking their picture. My view of photography changed from thinking oh photography is basically just pretty pictures to that photography is a way to connect to people and learn their stories and share them through a picture, because a picture is worth a thousand words. Even though this photo doesn't quite tell a story, process of getting the photo is what changed my view.

5.   The difference between shape and form is that shape is basically like the 2 dimensional outline of an object, whether its a circle or square, while form is more of the 3 dimensional shape of an object and has depth. So the picture in my post for shape shows many different shapes in the picture, such as the oval shape from the leaves to the lines for the flowers while in the picture for the post about form, the flowers are spheres.

6.    The difference between pattern and repetition is that repetition is the repeating of a pattern throughout the whole picture to bring unity. The picture depicted in the post about pattern is just a pattern of lines that are on Haroon's shirt. In the repetition picture, it utilizes the line pattern and repeats throughout the whole picture.

7.    My about page on weebly. Inspirational about page Richard Bernabe.

8. Our last three projects were the commercial shoot, garden photoshoot, and our one-word project. Out of these three, our best one would be our final project, the one-word project. I believe this is our best work because each picture tells a story about each person we took a picture of, through their pose and their quotes. This project really taught us how to communicate with our subjects while taking the pictures. It changed me by making me less shy about asking others more about themselves and asking them to pose a certain way. I learned to see how important communication is in photography to get a good photo with a story.

Student Website Reviews

First Period: Aileen Hsu
I believe that her best picture would be the one where this girl is pretending to walk up the stairs drawn on the ground. I think it's her best picture because its a unique picture that has a lot of entertaining elements and that its taken at an interesting angle.

Second Period: Estell Kim
I believe that her best picture is the one where two girls are laying on the ground and laughing. I really like how this picture is taken from above and really shows the joy on their faces and that theres a lot of color in this photo.

Third Period: Aarti Panda
I believe that her best picture would be the picture of her phone taking a picture of a walkway between two houses. The picture utilizes the concept of lines, drawing your vision down the middle of the photo.
