BEST 5 IMAGES!

Our last assignment of this third quarter was to chose our best 5 color images. Since we are in photo 2, we have to work in color instead of in black and white like the last semester. I personally like color photography better than black and white one, so I'm happy!

The pictures that I've chosen are pictures that I took during this year in the U.S. I really like them, they are very colorful and cheerful and that is what I always want my images to look like. 

So these are my 5 best color images!

JERRY UELSMANN BLENDED IMAGE

I really liked this image too!

MAGGIE TAYLOR BLENDED IMAGE

This is definitely my favorite image of this semester.

BLENDED IMAGES - POST ASSIGMENT

We didn't have much time to complete this assignment. I have pretty stressed because I had to do two pictures in 5 days + get my blog going and there were moments where I thought that I couldn't make it. But I did!

Although it was quick, I liked the assignment because I was always looking forward my result so that made it interesting. It also gave me the opportunity to investigate and learn things in Photoshop.

I really like my pictures, specially the color one.

COLOR MANIPULATIONS - POST-ASSIGNMENT

This assignment was very cool, I liked it. It was fun how we took pictures of natural flowers and then played with the different colors to give the image a colorful and artistic touch.

These are my two final pictures.

BLENDED IMAGES- PRE-ASSIGNMENT

Our assingment this week is to make blended images. We have two photographers as an example to make this. They are Maggie Taylor and Jerry Uelsmann.
The purpose is to make a image using 3 or more images. We chose 3 images tat we like and blend them together to make a good photograph.

We have to do 2 images in one week. One of them is in color, like Maggie Taylor's images. The other one is in black and white wit an example of Jerry Uelsmann's work.
This assignment looks fun!

This is an example of Maggie's work.

And this an example of Jerry's.

ANDY WARHOL POST-ASSIGNMENT

We are done with this assignment. This is my final picture.

I liked this assignment because it was fun, you had to play with different colors and paint to face and your eyes and your clothes and everything.

It was actually a little bit hard in a way, because you had to follow the video step by step to don't make any mistake, and that doesn't give you any freedom to edit your picture. Also, if you made any mistake, you had to start over again.

But I enjoyed doing this assignment  and I think we all have fun painting our faces of pink, yellow and lots of other different colors!!

ANDY WARHOL PRE-ASSIGNMENT

This week we have been assigned to take and edit pictures in a special way in order to get a very creative and colorful photo like Andy Warhol ones!

Somebody is taking a picture of us and then we are in charge to edit and add bright colors to our own photographs.

We are also watching a tutorial video to learn how to edit them and don't make any mistakes.

I am pretty excited for this assignment, I think is going to be one of the enjoyable ones!

Classical music album cover

During a week, we had to complete an assignment. the assignment was about combining music with photography. 

We had to make an album cover for classical music.

First of all, we had to understand and be able to identify all different photography terms and compositions, like: basic compositional structures, directional emphasis, design principles and visual elements of art. we had to have more or less and idea of all these things in order to do the assignment right.

Second, we had to draw our ideas on paper. We had to think and imagine how our album cover would look like and try to make different sketches.

And third, using our photography skills and what we learned, the had to take pictures and complete the assignment. 

This one right here is the picture that I chose for as my album cover. I took it in winter during a snow storm and I think that it can be related to classical music. The picture is very pleasant and transmits relaxation, just the same way as this type of music.
