Self portrait

1 using my likeness

1 still life self portrait that does not use your likeness

1 something I don’t own

1. using my likeness:Self portrait For my self portrait, I present similar themes, from my still life, such as my interest in gaming. and also my current work, by putting my name tag and uniform in the background. but for me as a person, I used a shirt to cover up my lower portion of my face, as I’m usually a quite person.

2. still life: My still life. Video games have been one my main interest for pretty much all my life, so to showcase that, I have featured two of my controllers in the photo. A standerd PS4 controller in the middle, and a Fight stick on the right, primarily used for fighting games, which is one of my favorite genres.On the left I have a figured statue of Scorpion, from the Mortal Kombat series, and on his rope, I have my work name tag, hanging, along with my wireless earphones, as a constantly listen to music, whenever given the chance. Final on photograph on top of the ps4 controller, was from a event I participate, for my Animation class, it being, one most memorable moments I’ve had in high school.

3. not using my likeness: for this photo I took a photo of a game stop, as I already express my interest for gaming the previous two images, so this one quite self explanatory.

Assignment #4

For my forth assignment, I wanted to use different types of light sources, in many various ways as shown above, as I thought it would make for some interesting shots, was I wanted to make a theme on lighting.

The First Photo, I used to a glow ball, and put them on top of the flooded sink, this ball having water droppings all around, really does add to the photo and the glowing green catalyst, and a suitable dye (also in glow sticks, illuminating in the water.

The Second photo, is a photo of my cat (Jolyen) laying on the floor, and staring at a couple glow sticks, while there is not much to say about the image, this is one of my favorite ones, out the three, that came out great. making the “scenery” seem dramatic.

The Third Photo, I attached some glow sticks to a ceiling, having it at the fastest setting, this made a very cool affect with the glow sticks tracing around the picture, and making a green and pink circle.

The Fourth Photo. I put a electric lantern (water proof) in a bucket filled with water, also spilling some water in front of the bucket, not only to add more to the environment, but also make the light reflect off the water.

shooting assignment #3

for this, I wanted to make a story about not only growing, but also about feeling like the youthful versions of our self, slip away, over time, either you our daily routines, or work-life getting in the way.

1.Photo one was taken in Alton park, of a closed down playground, due to COVID-19, it seems like a perfect time to take a photo of the playground, usually is filled with children, now with no one near insight. Being an abandoned.

2.The Second photo, while not much is to it. It's about overworking our self, staying up late nights, feeling restless all the time, from a lack of sleep. this is a very common practice, everyone has experienced at least once in their life. due to a current job or project, pushing them self over the limit, were it could not only leave an impact on the individual health, but also mental harm them.

3.The third photo is an Xbox one controller, buried into the dirt, only showing the facing buttons. This about abandons the thing you love doing, the very thing, that makes you at ease, buried by daily life and unfortunate events, where you can no longer, feel like the only thing that makes you feel happy, no longer exist.

4.The Fourth photo as a batman mask, which also doubles as a cape, hanging on a handle of a shovel. As kids on T.V. are usually shown with capes running around like their favorite superhero and imagining going against criminals. but as time goes on, most people feel like their imagination slips away as they get older.

Dynamic Symmetry Armature

This is for my black and white assignment

The first image, is untouched, a photo of my part of my grandparents house.

The second image, is in black and white, making the image much seem haunting.

The Third image, is a split tone image. i liked how this one turnout, case it reminds me of a filter they use is some movies, to make the the atmosphere more gritty, with the making it seems like it has a lack of color, making the sunlight hitting the door and reflecting on window pop.

This is my still life. Video games have been one my main interest for pretty much all my life, so to showcase that, I have featured two of my controllers in the photo. A standerd PS4 controller in the middle, and a Fight stick on the right, primarily used for fighting games, which is one of my favorite genres.On the left I have a figured statue of Scorpion, from the Mortal Kombat series, and on his rope, I have my work name tag, hanging, along with my wireless earphones, as a constantly listen to music, whenever given the chance.

“War...war never changes.” Ulysses S. Grant, our 18th president, who was also a American soldier, sayed in these lines. I choose two images from two different photographers, as they fit the subject matter of this quote. The one on the left is from Peter Van Agtmael, which shows two rooms, the one on the left has a child, alone, laying by the wall, and on the other room, shows three American soldiers raiding the room, searching for something, tearing down a room. The one on the right was a photo by Paolo Pellegrin, showing a distorted dark and menacing image of three men with guns going to militant secretly training, being the main focal point. War is always a horrific event that affects everyone, whether they are fighting in the front lines or people who are not, and these two images reflect that. I Think the clarity is important to these images. For example, the Paolo Pellegrin image has a lot of movement, due to the shakiness of the photo itself, while the Peter Van Agtmeal photo is still, and calm.

This is one the images from eggelston collection that caught my eye. Showing three buildings, but two of them being the main focal point of the image, being the orange building, which has a “Coca-cola” machines, the ice machines and a painting of a african american person leaving some type of cell, and in the background, a blue auto shop building, with a “Coca-cola” sign, with a rusted broken down truck in front of building. Everything around this picture just works amazingly and tells a story of a time, with the paint chipping of the ice machine and rusty truck would be the prime example, but also out of date coke machines, showing the remains of the previous generations work.
