Scan



The book I picked from the library is titled, "PARIS... Photographs from a time that was" by David Travis.  These are the 3 images I picked from the book- The images that made me look twice and captured most of my attention. I loved that these photographs were in black and white. It forced me to focus on the subject of the photograph, rather than other details. Also, the black and white made textures more prominent and center of focus. All the photographs work really well with shadows, highlights and silhouettes, something I've been wanting to practice and accomplish in my own photography.

Narrative Final Photographs









Final Project Write-Up

For my final project, I am going to challenge myself. Since we have the option to shoot to our liking, I will shoot with techniques I've always been hesitant to try, but interested in doing. The techniques I will attempt are: reflections- through water or glass, long exposures- to correctly expose the photograph with minimal shake, multiple exposure- to correctly expose two photographs by using in-camera techniques and no post-editing, and finally, shooting through glass- to distort the image but still be able to tell what is being photograph with minimal abstract ideas. Moreover, if I can obtain the right equipment and still am confident enough, I will try to photograph moving objects, but with a quick shutter speed so the subject is in maximum focus- such as someone jumping or a ball being dropped in water.
