The Future

In the future, I think photography will be more advanced in several ways. It will be easier to access and more different than a point and shoot camera. If an artist has a voice about something that can make a HUGE difference in future generations, then it's always important to consider one's voice. In order to stay "fresh," an artist has to consider what's popular in that time period and make it extraordinary and bold in order to please costumers buying the camera or piece of art work.

Color Shoot (Red)

For my shoot, I started out with taking of the first things that popped into my head, that were red of course. I went around my neighborhood and used objects in my house. I also went to a car lot and a barn in Clarksville, Indiana. I wanted to explore and get out of my confort zone so I tried something different and left the premises of Noblesville. I used different angles and different lighting to portray rules of composition. I used mostly "get close" because that's personally my favorite. Usually I will use zoom on my camera, or I'll hold the camera really close to the subject. I chose a barn because even though it's a cliche "red barn," I enjoyed the thrilling experience of running through someones property to take a picture of their barn. I incorporated voice by choosing more cliche red subjects, just because I'm a bit too mainstream. Through this assignment, I was able to uncover hidden beauty in a old barn. Not just the barn, but other subjects as well. I felt like a had some more strengths than weaknesses. I struggled finding subjects, but succeeded at taking the pictures using different elements and techniques we've learned in class. I would've changed my color, I found it a little difficult to find red subjects.

ISO Reflection

I took pictures with a variety of things such as random objects to outside objects. For my indoor, I shot in my garage with a sheet hung up and I used my dad's lighting kit and messed with the different colors. For outdoor, I went around my neighborhood and around Noblesville because I didn't go anywhere special for fall break. I used get close for the majority of my pictures. Also I used different angles so the objects were not centered. I incorporated different elements and principles by using different lighting colors for my light source for the indoor shoot. I incorporated my voice by using certain objects that I personally find interesting, and I hope my audience does too. This project helped me view the world in a different way because I've never actually noticed how much light sources there is at night. My strengths included my creativity with the indoor shoot, but I struggled quite a bit with my night shoot because I couldn't turn my flash off. If I could change anything it would be take all 30 images with creative indoor lighting just because I excelled in that part of the project and it was enjoyable.
