Series One

The photographer, Cecil Beaton, was my inspiration for these photos and I tried to take photos that are similar to his style of photography. In order to do so I brought in different hats and had my model posing with some sort of hand gesture. I also made sure my model was posing in front of a white background and that the photos are in black and white.

Portraits

This assignment was about capturing people showing their vulnerability. This required taking pictures using a plain white background, not using props and making sure the model wasn't smiling or displaying any facial expressions.The photographer, Richard Avedon, was the inspiration for this assignment.

Narrative Images

This assignment was also about taking pictures that told a story using figures. However, this time I tried to tell new stories with different figures.

Narrative Images

For this assignment I tried to take pictures that told a story using figures. In order to make this look realistic I had to try to capture the right angle to make the figures come alive.

Rule of Thirds

For this assignment I tried to capture the rule of thirds in my photographs. The rule of thirds stems from the idea that the image is divided into three parts. This creates a sense of balance throughout the picture.

Depth Staging

This assignment was centered around staging depth. In order to do so I tried to get close up to an object allowing there to be space between the two objects in the frame.

Repetition

For this assignment the idea was to look for leading lines displaying repetition. I tried to find objects that showed a pattern. I then tried to take the pictures at different angles creating repetition, which allows the eye to look deep into the photo.
