aDJECTIVES IN PHOTOS
Sally Mann is the photographer of this picture that was taken in 2011. The picture is of a little girl sitting on a chair. The chair that the little girl is sitting on is very large and dark. I say this because, the proportions of the girl to the chair are big and small, and the darkness of it brings out the paleness in her face. The collar on the little girl’s shirt is white and laced, which makes it look dainty and like it took a while to create.
This next photo by Sally Mann, taken in 2009 is of a woman with her hands on her hips, looking out with a white pair of clothing. In this picture her back looks very bony, as well as her arms. Her light colored hair is braided and wrapped up into two buns. The background of this photo is a dark forest with a lot of skinny trees with many leaves.
This last photo seems to be a photo of three teenagers, two boys and a girl. The photo also contains a light colored hose lying on the floor, a shiny bicycle that the boy on the right is sitting on, a large tree’s leaves hovering above the kids, and a dark fence in the background. The girl in the middle has mid-length brown hair, and is wearing baggy sweatpants with her hands buried inside. The boy on the left seems to be wearing a pair of running shorts with two dark stripes on its side.

What is a pun?
A pun is when a compound is used literally to create a joke. An example would be the word cowboy. If you used Photoshop to place a cow head on a boy’s face, then the term would be used literally, a pun.
what is abstract art?
Abstract art is a subject in art that is unexpected and expressive in a way. Most of the time in abstract art, the subject is unknown. Abstract art is the same in photography, the camera is so zoomed into the subject that it becomes unidentified. The subject is usually taken up close and is unidentifiable most of the time. Abstract art in photography is very beautiful, and easy. All you have to do to create an abstract photo in photography is zoom in very close to your subject until it looks unidentifiable. Abstract photography is a fun and easy way to create art, and I believe people should do it often.

what is surrealism?
Surrealism is an artistic movement that started in the early 1920s. It is most popular for its artworks and writings, but also included music. Surrealism started spreading like wildfire during World War I. Writers and artists who have been based in Paris created amazing works such as the Surrealist Manifesto written by André Breton. This showed examples of surrealist works, and influences on surrealism. André’s work was very influential to other artists. René Magritte also inspired people with his interesting artwork he produced on sheet music covers. One of his famous pieces is ‘Marche des Snobs’ for a pianist named Fernand Rousseau.
Surrealism is most of the time used for art, which also includes photography. I believe surrealism in photography is at its best. With Photoshop, you can make the photo in photography appear realistic. You can do this with the layer mask tool, spot healing and more tools in the tool selection. Some examples of surrealism in photography are the often used fishbowl and eyeball. Most of the time, photographers will put another picture inside the picture of the eyeball or the fishbowl to make it look real.
I believe that surrealism is a great subject in art. It has been around for many years, and many creative things have come out because of it. People have been inspired and overwhelmed by interesting forms of surrealism. Photography, one of the forms is very inspiring and interesting. Adding surrealism can make any picture look more creative and unique, which is why I’ll be using it in my next assignment for my class.

hdr photography examples
what is hdr?
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. It allows a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. It basically brings out more detail that has been lost in a photo. HDR is most of the time used in photography to exaggerate a plain-looking photo. After taking a photo, on Photoshop you can change the range of it to make the image look more intense, although some cameras can make an HDR photo without the use of Photoshop. To do this, you use exposure to bring out the darkness and lighting of the photo. HDR photos are usually of buildings or landscapes. It’s better to take photos of buildings and landscapes so that the inner details of it can pop out when you use HDR on it. I believe that HDR is a great way to edit photos. It can make a plain looking photo look exaggerated and sometimes like a painting.
Texture Photography Examples
What is Texture Photography?
Texture is the feel and look of a subject. Texture photography is when a photo reveals a type of texture in an image. In photography, you can zoom in on different objects that have a specific texture to it. Texture can be used in art as well. In paintings and drawings people can draw and paint a certain way to make a picture look like it has texture. To take my own texture photos, I am going to get close to an object, zoom in on it, and take the picture. If I do this, I will grasp the texture I see in a photograph.

Self-Evaluation
The technical skills I used for the negative space photos was I leaned over to the side and I made sure the subject was 10% in the photo. The photographic skill I used was to keep the pictures clear by using the focus. To take the photos for the silhouettes, I pointed my camera at the sun with the subject behind it to make it dark. If the pictures I took didn’t turn out as a silhouette, I would use Photoshop to make it look like that. In Photoshop I would use the quick selection tool to select the subject I was using for the silhouette. I would then use brightness and contrast to darken the subject.
When I took my final shots for the negative space and the silhouette photos, I tried my hardest to get the perfect shot. I would sit down and think awhile about ideas, and when I came up with one, I would take the camera and take a picture with it. When using Photoshop in class, I would edit my photos over and over until it turned out I wanted it too. In the end, my pictures turned out great, at least that’s what I thought.
I was and am very satisfied with the ending results of my negative space and silhouette photos. I liked how I edited my silhouette photos because; I added photos from the internet on to the photos I already took to make it more powerful looking. Like the silhouette picture I took of Monika. In the photo she was kicking in the air. I thought the picture looked like a warrior style, so I pasted wings behind her to make it look like she was an angel warrior, hence the name of the photo. I was satisfied with all the silhouette photos I took. The negative space photos, however, is another story.
My least favorite photos I took for my negative space photos was the picture of my converse, and the picture of my iPod o the ground. I did not think fond of these photos because, they weren’t very creative, and I didn’t like the backgrounds of them.
These recent photos I took are very meaningful to me. Like in my silhouette photo, “Fire Monster”, it shows how 3 people can make something terrifying. I also think my other silhouette photo, “Boxing Daze” it shows the beauty of boxing.
The other photography arts we learned in this class so far was cubism, light graffiti, and learning how to make magazine ads . Cubism was an art of different fragments taken from a picture and placed randomly amongst the composition. Using cubism was a great experience and was fun to make. Light graffiti was also a great experience. It was really fun coming up with ideas to draw out and take a photo of. The first thing we created in the beginning of this year was a magazine advertisement. My ad was from the guitar center. I used 2 of my own pictures,
and plenty of Photoshop. I also used a grunge text tutorial for my slogan.
So far, we have learned many new things, and took many photos which were very fun to make. I am very excited for the rest of the assignments for this school year.

Negative Space Photography
The space around your subject while taking photos is very important. It can either make your picture good or bad. Negative Space photography is when 90% of the picture is a solid color of background. The other 10% is of a person or object. Negative space attracts attention because your eye automatically searches for the subject taken in the picture. Photographers use negative space is used to bring focus to the subject. Some negative space subjects present themselves, but for other subjects, you will have to improvise and set them up as you want them to take the photo. This strategy in photography can help balance your photo, and instantly draw attention. It brings emphasis and clarity to a photograph. To take negative space photos, you must adjust your composition until the picture is balanced with the positive and negatives spaces of the composition. In the end, though many people may not understand this form of art, some people take in to its beauty and emotion.

What is a Silhouette?
Silhouettes are usually cut-outs of black images of people. In photography, a silhouette is usually an outline of a person or object that is darkened and not fully seen. Silhouettes, most of the time, have colorful backgrounds behind it. The colorful backgrounds make the black silhouette’s shape pop out more. Silhouettes are a really beautiful part of art, but you have to take them correctly with a camera to make it beautiful. To take a silhouette, your camera has to point at the sun. But remember that the lens isn’t supposed to point directly at the sun, for there will be too much light. The object you are taking a picture of has to be behind the sun.
Ideas for Silhouettes
1.Someone holding a flower
2.Indian hands thing
3.2 people making a heart
4.2 heads
5.Make multiple hearts with peoples hands

What is Cubism?
Cubism is an art founded in the 20th century by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It is considered to be the most influential art movement of the 20th century. Cubism isn’t supposed to be realistic. It composes of 2-dimensional art and fragments taken(in photoshop) from a picture. The fragments are placed in different sizes in the picture. Cubism can be more than just drawings, it can also be used for painting, photography, sculptures, and collages. It can be related to photography because when you take a photo, you can go to Photoshop and edit it to make it look like the wonderful art of cubism.
