Photography Research

I had to make a Biography template on a photographer. My photographer name was Paolo Roversi & I described how fashion photography evolved around him & interesting facts i was intrigued by.I described how other Photographers were influenced by him and how they were influential to them as well. He created darkroom pictures of modern celebrities today that are relevant in the entertainment, music, and model industry. I liked how he explains and tell interviews what his picture symbolizes and why he  take pictures of them. It is epic of how he never really focused on taking photography of women and how he became famous in the fashion, and all entertainment business and expanded his horizon in his photographs.  

Pinhole Photography

With my home made Pin hole box my purpose was to be able to take a visual outside through the hole. I went outside through the football friend with my friend, Taylor, to capture the view of the baseball field. In order to capture the picture we had to place the pinhole box on stable grounds. We were simply NOT allowed to take the box top off or the image would be ruined due to too much exposure of light. Even though I accidentally took the top off I quickly put it on and through the tiny hole, I sat it down to capture the image for 10 seconds. After I finished that I went into the darkroom took the slip of paper out of the bucket and let it sit into the developer,rinse,mixer, toner, etc to reveal my results. It looked blurry , I wasn't satisfied, but
I enjoyed the experience of making it.

Design Pinhole

In this activity I had to basically create a blueprint of how I would design my pinhole.. my theme had something to do with nature b/c I think you can always find beauty when it comes to nature. I described what usage of the camera I would only take pictures of and, of course, it would be nature. I would enjoy photographing these images b/c I personally love the sight of nature. The trees, insects, & animals makes me want to capture every moment of mother nature's cycle. I like the Idea that I designed a flower camera b/c it symbolizes the type of pictures I would capture.

4 digital Selfies

I took/chose 4 pictures with each of my friends and edit them. I posted one with Taylor, Terrell, & Violetta posing with me. I changed the scenery and the effects on all of my pictures. I chose the four division sections of the same picture with different color schemes. It was a fun photo editing activity & I hope we would do more of these in the future.

6 Word Memoir

I made up a six word saying and my quote was " Haters throw shade, I give light". I took a picture in Ms.Snyder class of the lamp with the light. I took the picture of the lamp to symbolize me shedding light. I set that as the background on Pixlr. Then I typed & style my word font on my background picture. I set the picture in an old time grey shade. My word font color was red to pop out the picture. I was happy to finish my memoir b/c it was an easy step to step task. I enjoyed creating my own picture with a meaningful quote and using pixlr to help me.

Cliche Verre

I created my cliche verre when I chose a photo that would have a fair amount of black, white, and gray for the darkroom. I thought of the idea of finding a picture with a girl who was at the beach as a good theme to make. I printed out my paper, then I place with clear film paper over the printed sheet. Then I painted all the white spaces black, Water down the gray areas in the picture, and leave the black pars alone. I let my Clear sheet dry and I headed to the darkroom. I put my clear paper over the photo paper, Then I turned on the light for 7 seconds. I placed my paper in the developer, rinse, toner, and rinse. The results of my picture was beautiful. Doing this simple task turned my paper from beast into the beauty. I was satisfied with my work or art.

Photogram Hand ( Darkroom Project)

In this Project we had the opportunity to make an image and use the darkroom. I first outline the shape of my hand. Next, I was able to place i clear film paper (overhead sheet) over my hand outline. I began to decorate and design my hand as i desired to. After I was finished with my hand I took my overhead/ outline paper into the dark room. I placed my outline paper onto the overhead. Then I place my clear sheet on top of the outline paper. I set the glass on top of my papers and place my hands on the glass. I set my exposure time to 5 - 7 seconds. I flipped the toggle switch on, while carefully keeping my other hand on the overhead still. When the light flicked off that was when i was able to take my hand off the overhead. Lastly, I place my paper into the developer for 30 seconds as I seen my figure of my hands and the design appear, then picked up my paper, using tongs, and place them in the rinse container that washes off the chemicals, Next I place my paper in the mixer/ toner container, then let my paper rinse off for a bit. I let my picture air dry on the clothes pin line. I liked and enjoy making this because it informed me on how artist make, develop, and enhance the visual of a picture when going to the darkroom. I would like to advance more creativity and try something unique of my own.
