My main focus was showing the shadow on her chest as I tried to make the photo follow the third rule. I also wanted the shadow to look bold so i was holding a branch of leaves

In this photo of Dara, I’m using her dominant eye and serious face to create a intense close-up. I was trying to create a mysterious mood so I had her hiding behind a little branch as the tree casted a slight shadow across her face.

I chose this picture as my best picture because I loved the shadows here, I did do some slight editing on light room to get the shadows to pop more, I also liked the fact that I got the person riding a bike by hisself. I also was trying to accomplish the leading lines within my photo because of the bridge going out towards the camera, I also tried to accomplish symmetry since both sides of the bridge is kind of similar and I like how it lines up with the lighting.

It gives a story of anything, You can make up a lot of assumptions with the shadow. I would want to change the angle to make things more symmetrical with the lines.

Homework 1
There are wonderful abstract photographers it was really hard to pick one artist who’s work stand out the most. I do say Landscape photography got my attention the most. From the Landscape category I decided to focus my eyes on Alex Noriega work. He really captures the beauty of Mother Earth like no other. I also like his retouching skills bringing out the color and showing where the real beauty was hiding. There is one photo I took into liking and it’s from is 2011-2013 album of work from his website. He named the photo the gravity chamber taken in Washington DC 2012. I was first confused at the photo and that’s what got my attention from first glance it looked like a wave from the view of a suffer. But then I took a second look and I thought of a storm as the clouds are forming. Then I realized it’s just a crazy abstract cave that I must look at myself and take pictures. 
Homework #1
The photographer that I choose is Blair Bunting. Who is known for athletes photography, auto photography, filming Super Bowl commercials, and more. This photo caught my attention because the photo shows the NFL player where the figure shows in motion, running towards the football to kick it. And this a good photo because of the composition, where my eyes go left to right. This makes me feel going with the flow cause of the wavy lines and blurry motion and this photo is a long exposure, where the shutter speed has a long duration.
Homework#1- Martin Vrabko
I found this photograph heart-warming since it does tell a lovely gesture we can relate to when we are with a significant other. The way the hand is gestured gives alot of sense of how it feels to be loved. I would call this photograph powerful since it gives a straight up story with a message that we all can sense on how it is to be loved.
Homework # 1 Joey Lawrence (by Isabella Gomez)
Joey Lawrence has a very intriguing body of work. Lawrence takes portraits of people from different countries, and explores their culture and character through photos. His photos are taken in such a way that they empower the subject of the photo. Taken from specific angles, and with paying close detail to composition as well, he creates some incredibly strong visuals.
Something that Lawrence also takes into consideration is the role of the environment in the photo. He chooses to take photos in areas that have cultural relevancy to its subject. Some photos were taken in East Asia, where importance is placed on the ocean. I chose this photo of a Mexican man in an Agave field. It can be inferred that this man harvests Agave nectar, he is surrounded by the plant and wears the traditional uniform. He is placed in the frame in such a way that, he is important, strong, and empowered. The Agave leaves break some spaces in the photo in a way that is very effective. The color palette creates a dreamlike tone that looks like a still from a film. Overall, very beautiful and powerful work.
