Zach's Zesty Photos

[zachcz]

I was looking for what a definition of a snapshot is and this is what I came up with.

[zachcz]

I thought this site was interesting because the photos on the site looked like they really jumped out at you.

I attempted to emulate these photos and make them look as close as possible to Olivia Parker's phots which are the ones on the left.

The orignale settin was taken in front of a house of their front porch. The fence makes the house look scary and that everyone should stay out. The baby was taken in front of her house. In the photo the baby looks alone and scared like her mother just abandoned her. In the composite I took the baby and put her on the stairs so it looks like the baby is running down the stairs because she wants to play outside.

I took this photo while in Chicago because I thought it looked cool. This photo is interesting because this place was vacant and it had lights over the top of the tables. To me this place looked like a great area for couple to be romantic.

This photo was also taken in Chicago. This photo is interesting because it is a bright day and the bicycle sitting all alone. To me this bike looks new and it looks like a good bike. Last I liked the shadow the bike made on the ground. The shadow makes the bike look complcated and complex.

About Parker

The light makes the stairs in the photo look rough. Without the light the stairs would look normal and uninteresting. The shadows from the light make a zig-zag shadow down the middle of the stairs.

In this photo there is an open field with a large shadow going across it. The shadown looks cool because it looks mysterious.

[zachcz]

In this photo she looks happy as she is jumping outside playing around. She looks like she likes to have fun be a kid and doesn't want to grow up so fast. She looks like she doesn't care what people say as she is wearing a short sleeve shirt outside when the ground appears to be wet and cold.

The first photo had nothing done to it, but the second photo was edited in lightroom and photoshop. The second photo was lightened and had some garbage removed from the ground.

[zachcz]

The first photo was after i edited it in lightroom and photoshop. The second photo i made vintage by make it black and white and by adding a little bit of green and red. After that i added a picture of scratched glass over the photo. I then lowered the opacity so yuo could still see the photo.

This photo has texture because you can see the curve of the steps, it has shape because the steps are rectangular and you can see the curves and cuts of the shoes,this photo has a little bit of different colors in the stairs and the shoes,there is space between the shoes and the glove, line is where the edge of the stair is it goes straight across.

I have a black and white and then a color photo, but I like the color photo more though because to me its look muddy and dirty which is what kids like but it looks bright and fun at the smae time.

[zachcz]

I like the black and white photo because to me it seems a little mysterious.

[zachcz]

I didn't do anything to make this photo look creative but I think it looks cool because I think all the colors surround the sewer and really make it look good.

Value- Variation if shades due to light and what direction the light is coming.

This is a good example of value because you can see the shades of green changing.
