For my first part I decided to go to a park where everyboday can find a lot of things to do an to take a lot of cool pictures. I never image that the park was so big until I started walking to get images for the homework and I discovered spaces that I never knew before. So I hope I accomplish the first part of the homework and I the second part is comming soon.
For my self portrait I decided to get images of a normall day to catch the attention of the face expression. So I hope that accomplish the homework with the simplicity of the images.
The gallery was a great experience to compare with what we are doing for our self. Normally on the studio in the class we focus our attention on the lights, shadows or effect but I think one of the most important thing that we have to learn is in the whole composition of the picture and I think that exhibition shows us in the different composition and mood.
Another samples was the creation of my studio, the idea was to feel what means to create everything by your self so then you can start shooting any object to get the best result possible. With the home studio and seeing the pictures of the gallery now I have another perspective about how to try to get the best picture because now first I have to set up all the lights, the right position of the camera, the position of the object but the most important is to be able to select a background that fit with the object and the mood that I am try to accomplish. The advantage of shooting outside is that you already have the background but you also have to focus on the light and the position of the camera to get the best shoot.
On the review of the NY Times the author was unhappy with the way the gallery was set up. In my opinion I do not agree with her because that it is the beauty of an exhibition to go an get a shock with the images and not to think if they have some kind of organization, probably she is used to go to places where is some kind of organization like chronological or historical. The Interesting part of this gallery is the different aspect that you can get from the different arrangement of the images on the same place from room to room and the variety of color an exposure that they arrange. The point to go to a museum is to enjoy the exhibit and do no think about if they are some kind of chronological arranges or if someone was not on the show.
This is was one of the homework in which we have to use our thinking and creativity in how to represent Spring. I think that I choose a good varieties of images. They were taking at different times and location to show different object that I think that represent Spring like those that you can appreciate on the images.
For this project I decide to use this product that I brought from a trip and I think works well to develop the emotions that I was looking for. I was try to represent some kind of interesting and relax mood because after you see the object that it is the first thing that came to my mind. The transformation trought the images was smooth and I hope that I accomplish the first part of the project. On the second part well see what I can do to transform this object to something oposite to this first part.
It was great chalenge to think in the use of natural light or a source of light like a simple desktop lamp. So for my shoots I prefered to use the desktop lamp because the light was better to use with this product to show the details. The idea was to create a product elegant but at the same time interestiing to the eyes of futures buyers. I hope that I acomplish the result of the homework
The challenge in this homework was to create happy and sad emotions with the use of the flower and the light. I choose this one because I think that shows that clean happy motion trought the vertical steam and the brightness colors at the top make the iamge happy.
The second homework is base on the sneakers with a few colors suchas blue, white and orange to make a simple sneaker look better depending on the position on the light or the position of the camera. This is one sample of the sneaker in different position getting the light from the top side of the sneaker to enhance the color at the end of the sneaker. In ohter images since I move the light away the sneaker dark color was even more darker than the original position.So I think that I catch the qualitie on the sneaker in this image and the rest.
The studio it was a challenge because the small space in my apartment. At first I was thinking to buy a small set online but then I realized that the purpose it was to have the experience to create one from scratch. So I wnet to the hardware store and I bought the materials except the box and this is the result that I have at the end of my small studio.
