Andy Goldsworthy

This picture is my own recreation of one of Andy Goldsworthy's many leaf based photographs. The original picture was used with more vine type plants than what I used here, but I think it still looks good. I like how there's more than one color of leaves in this photo.

Richard Avedon Style

These photos are recreations of Richard Avedon's Bob Dylan portrait. I like the black and white version of this photo better because I like how her hair almost matches the color of the trees. And because there's no color it's easy to focus on the model.

 Richard Avedon Style

These photos are recreations of Richard Avedon's Tom Stoppard portrait. I like the black and white version of this photo better. Again, black and white photos seem more powerful to me. These photos both say, to me, I'm cool and you best stay away from me because I'm tough. I think the black and white really assists in showing the strength and power of the photo.

Richard Avedon Style

These pictures are recreations of Richard Avedon's James Baldwin photo. I like the black and white version of this photo better because it seems more powerful. When I look at the pictures they feel sad, but the black and white help that feeling progress. That's why it's more powerful to me.

Gray Scale

The first picture, top left corner, is my white value picture. The photo is of a hanging light. The second picture, top middle, is my lightest gray value picture. The duct tape on the end is actually the focus value. The third picture, top right, is my lighter gray value picture. This photo was taken of the trash can. The fourth photo, middle left, is my light gray value. This photo is of a printer.  The fifth photo, middle middle left, is my dark gray value. This photo is of my friend's shoe. The sixth photo, middle middle right, is my darker gray value. This photo is of an electricity outlet. The seventh photo, middle right, is my darkest gray value. The focus point is a basketball trophy. The eighth photo, bottom left, is my light black value. This focus point is of my friend's pant leg. The ninth and final photo, bottom right, is my black value. The focus point is a painting on a door.

Poses
I like how she really looks like a model in this photo. Her face is almost sassy and uncaring, but still focused on the job at hand. And this pose is very easy because it's very casual. Women with long hair tend to brush it aside, like she's doing in the photo. Not always, but sometimes women with also lean on one leg with one hip stuck out. The last thing I really like about this picture and her form is the sort of C shape her hip and shoulder make.

Poses
I really love this photo. Her smile is just radiant and the slight reflection in her glasses really add a cool effect to the photo. This is a very comfortable pose because your whole body is relaxed and you get to sit down. I also like how her hands cross each other, making an x.

Poses
I like how this image looks. The outdoors just add to the beauty. I also like how her body forms a B shape. Her hands are relaxed as she rests her head on them. This pose is the perfect pose for comfort.

Bird's Eye

I like this photo because the view is pointed down. I also appreciate it for the shadows shown on the grass. Bird's eye view is obviously a way of portraying what a bird might see, but I find it very interesting that there are so many ways of taking a photo. Exploring has always been fun, and photography is a great way to explore. Plus, the shadow of the pole and hoop kind of looks like Tweety Bird.

Worm's Level

I really like ground level, or in this case worm level, photographs. It just seems like there so much more space to see the world. I personally like exploring the smaller things in photographs, and in this photo it ind of allows you to.

Ant's Eye
Ants are generally on the ground, and they're always looking for something whether it's below them, beside them, or above them. I laid myself and the camera down in the grass. Then, I focused in on what I thought an ant might be looking at. I chose the small flower as my subject. I really like this photo because the grass surrounds the tiny flower like guards. I also like it because the tall power pole is in the background, and in this image the flower appears to be almost half its height.
