Artist Statement

My portfolio consists of all of the projects we have done this semester and also some from last semester. I feel that I did a pretty good job at getting all my projects turned in and in the right order. I feel over all my portfolio has turned out really good. During this semester I think that i learned alot this semester. The thing I learned the most was how to add things in the picture things very well. The thing I feel I was most successful with would have to be my ideas. All my ideas were excellent in my opinion and it showed through most of my pictures. The thing I struggled with the most would have to be blending. I don’t think I did to well on that because many of my pictures came out slightly blurry. I think I need to get a better understanding on that so it can help me to improve on picture taking.The thing that has influenced me most is really just the person I am inside. In the pictures I wanted the real me to be captured so people could actually see the person I am. The area that I feel I have improved best in was incorporating my ideas into my photographs better. I put a lot of effort into most of my projects. I think I am slowly but surely starting to get the hang of photoshop.

Shutter Speed

In these pictures we messed with the shutter speed on the camera making it very slow. Then we tried to keep our body's very still for 15 seconds. During that time we had light sources. During that 15 seconds we made a particular shape waving the light source to make that shape.
