Food Photography

The lighting in these photos are really good. It gives a direct shine to the food and shows it as the main subject. It gives a side lighting as well, and makes the food really pop out from an angle. It shows all the detail in the middle and the top of the burger.

The composition is great as well because there is a rule of thirds. Also there is a strong contrast between the background and the subject, which makes the food shine out more. There is a deep saturation to make the food more colorful and to catch your eye, also there is a small depth of field.

What I learned:

Make sure you have a chef who will go above and beyond making the food
Take test shots to show desired photo look
Keep the food fresh
The food will melt or harden over time, replace it
Focus on the small details in the photo
Make the food look as apetizing as possible
Use natural light if you can
Side lighting is a powerful tool in food photography
Use the flash to show the food and make it look better
Use a shallow depth of field

Me And Myself

Digital Collage Based On A Theme

I am trying to show how nuclear weapons can impact us all. They can cause climate change, disrupt the ecosystem, economies, the world, etc. The world can really look like this if we use nuclear weapons.

Fashion/Advertising Photography

The first image is really nice because it shows the culture they have. The second one captures and shows her personality and how she presents herself. The third one shows a beautiful dress, as well as her facial expression. These photos are really nice and different from usual fashion photography.

These would definitely go on Power 100, they have the same vibe and dark type photos.

Photomontage: Where You See Yourself In 10 Years

I see myself in 10 year to have everything you see in this picture. In 10 years, I will be 27 years old, and I will have graduated college, and have started in the work force. I will be making good money and be financially independent, as well as creating the best memories.

I will have a family, and I see myself having 2 kids. I don’t really want to have too many or too little, I feel that 2 is fine. In the photo we are all connected, which represents that we are connected emotionally.

I also want to have a car in my future that I can call as mine. I need it to be something flashy and fast. This will be something that I work on weekly and a project car.

I really like this photograph that I made and I believe that it is really successful. I believe that the composition of the arms and the background really fit in well. I can tell others to shoot in low light and edit it later in photoshop. My work makes me feel really good knowing that I create work that is really well suited and describes the work I create.

Keith Haring Inspirational Work

This photograph by Keith Haring is my favorite photograph from him. I believe this work is just the simplicity of 2 friends that are having a great time hugging, most likely representing friendship. I feel this image is great because it shows that there are better parts to life, such as friends and having people there for you. I believe that he was trying to communicate the message of friendship and companionship. He was probably showing what he was feeling in the moment and how he felt.

Ted Talk Reflection

The Ted Talker that explains his story about his history with the camera and the photographers he has taken. He creates moments that captures and idea. He sees photographs and taking different pieces of reality and putting them together. You can create illusions like that and trick peoples brains.

He says that’s its all about combining different realities and photographs to make really interesting photographs and give them life. Erik Johansson says it all starts with an idea, a sketch, and that’s how you can create the best image. He states that the only thing that limits us is our imagination.

My opinion on this Ted Talk is that is was very well composed and really interesting to watch. I learned a lot about photography and the ideas that people can come up with. What I got out of this talk is the inspiration to shoot photographs and to always think about what I can do to make it better in the moment. The photograph will then have meaning and with be important to me and my audience.
