Mini Concentration 2

The pictures I created for my second mini concentration is utilization of a big picture, and small picture.  The picture itself is to represent a larger picture, and a part of the picture is a enlarged aspect of the picture.  In the three, the waterfall has a part of the waterfall enlarged.  The small spreading water droplets at the bottom is the enlarged part.  The wreath has an augmented pine cone, showing the details of the pine cone.  The last picture is the American flag with a larger star, which is developed in higher detail.  These were to show how that we perceive objects in the world in one aspect, but when we take a closer look at these objects, we can see details that we would usually  never see. 

 

Mini Concentration 1

For my first mini concentration, I decided that I wanted to have the two sides of people.  Many times we get to see one side of a person, their fake side.  Usually we only see who they are on the outside, and fail to recognize who they are on the inside; we put on a fake mask to really fit in with other people, and conform in what everyone thinks is "cool". Despite putting on that mask, we still have a side that people do not know about, whether it is an addiction, interest or hobby.  In my portraits, I did a double exposure of people who have elements about them that other people would not know about.  Things such as interests, hobbies and addictions are all represented within these three pictures.  In this, I took their face, and had half of the face what they look like to me and you, and on the other half show who they really are on the inside. 

Self-directed Project 1

What I did for my very first self-direct project is a shutter-speed kind of project. I took three pictures of one instance in three different shutter-speeds; one slower, one more normal, and one fast.    I then assembled the photos into a composite.
