Project 2 - color and grids

This is from a photo i took in project one, I re-did the edits and made it more into a unity of cool colors

In this assignment we were told to take photos that could represent and further show mood by arranging them in certain color schemes; from warm colors, cool colors, monochrome, and color compliments. After taking photos that could possibly show these types of color schemes, and using photos that we had already taken in the previous project (composition) we were required to make and explore grid photographs, and make unique ranges of grids.

here is one of my favorite grids because of the monochrome synchronized reds and the texture that's created, in a sort of wave fold way..

This is my color complement grid 

This is another cool color grid that i like because of the unique layout

this is a grid that i like aswell, because of how it came together; it started with a photo of a zoomed out design on a window and i edited the colors to make it warm and did a variety of grid edits.

I like this grid because its simple and unified.

reflected and rotated warm grid

Furthermore expanded the photo above by turning it into a more detailed grid in which it was. (warm color scheme)

This is my mood post. I've edited this photo to make it tell a story and show its mood of possible discontent and energetic. I say these two moods because first of all the green fluorescent edit that i explored and applied makes the photo come of as a sense of energized. The story that is told through this photo makes the mood also have a sense of discontent. The story that one could interpret is that the bottles look lit up by a street light in a dark alley and the bottles look untouched and left alone by people who were discontent.

I think that the photo above is an ironic photo. The color yellow is used to represent happiness and brightness and positivity, placing a soldier (who has probably been in a war and seen scaring things) in the photo counteracts the yellow significance and makes the yellow mood of happiness insignificant. The editing in the photo was probably used to brighten and saturated the yellow tones and make the other colors seem duller.

Project 1

Project 1 - Framing and Composition

This was the first assignment my photography class 1-2 got assigned this year. It was all about getting to know the camera you were shooting with and exploring the different shooting techniques that were possible. I have never taken any photos using these techniques or any for that matter. I got a chance to explore different view-points while taking the photos and really make them how i wanted them. I chose the final 8 photos that i did, because they are each their own and individual shots of different things. In the process of editing I edited the photos how i interpreted them when I was shooting, in the edits it amplifies to the viewer how i see things.
