I have been working on tutorials and have been progressing as of now I am in chapter 5 and working with filters, opacity, and blending modes. Apart from tutorials I have been working on my depth of field project and have taken various pictures. With these photographs I will begin to edit and crop them so they will be better than the original.
This photography contains warm and high intensity color because of the bright vibrant flower. The photo also contains emphasis on the flower because of its color the viewer is directly drawn to it first. The flower also contains texture because you can see that there appears to be bumps within the flower making it appear as if it would be rough and bumpy. The photography also contain organic shape because within the flower there is a circle and the flower itself seems to have a shape of a square.
In 1918, Dorothea Lange set out into the world to start her career as a photographer. In 1935 she began to take photographs of the effects that the great depression had on people, during this time she captured her most famous photograph, the Migrant Mother. The image was taken during the great depression when many families lived in poverty. The photograph has the elements and principles of line, value, and space. The woman’s arm provides a vertical line that leads the viewers’ attention directly to the women’s face. The photograph also contains value because the baby seems to be light while the mother and the two boys are darker possibly because they go out and work in the sun. Lastly the photographs lack of space helps focus the viewers’ attention to the women which creates emphasis on the facial expression. Her facial expression is one of weariness of what will happen and one of almost hopelessness which is understandable due to her circumstances.
In this silhouette photograph the photographer captured varies elements and principles of photography. On of the main focuses in this photo is the movement captured with the water being splashed upwards. This photograph also captures lines with the poles in the background lining up on after the other. The emphasis of this photograph is the male in the water playing with the soccer ball. This photograph also contains asymmetrical balance because the left side contains a young boy and the adult playing with the soccer ball with trees in the background while the right side contains a young boy in the water with buildings and poles behind him.
Ansel Adams was a photographer in the 20th century who captured landscape in black and white portraits. In this portrait he uses several elements of art such as texture, contrast, and shape. The rocks in the photo capture a rough texture that one is able to imagine as everyone has felt a rock before. There is contrast within the portrait, the rocks and mountains are dark and greyish while the sky is a lighter color. This contrast only adds the beauty of the portrait. The portrait uses organic shape. The mountains create a shape of a triangle and the rocks create a shape of somewhat of a circle.
