Photo Assignment 6 - Food

This week I chose to do food. I was pressed for time this whole past week, so I didn't have time to go out and shoot pictures. Instead, I just stayed at home and took pictures of household items.

Definition Assignment

For this Photoshop assignment we had to find interesting words and compose a document that included the definition and multiple pictures representing the word. I did geniophobia, which is the fear of chins, to cow, which means to intimidate, and conflagration, which is a large fire.

Photo Assignment 5 - People

For this photo assignment I used pictures of football players that I took on this past Saturday's MSU football game. I got to go down on the field before the game, and got great pictures of the team warming up. I tried to capture the motion of the players while getting crisp shots.

Portrait Demo Assignment

In this assigment, we learned about diffferent ways to take portrait photos, wheter you have a professional setup or are using a simple window setup. I learned how to improve the look of the pictures on Photoshop.

Context Assignment

In this assigment, we had to turn a picture of the school into something unexpected. I took a picture of two of the main buildings and made them into an airport. We learned how to "photoshop" other pictures into a different one.

Photo Assignment 4 - Architecture

I've been looking forward to architecture, because I had so many pictures that could work from past projects. Taking pictures at both MSU and U of M's campus helped a ton. I also went to Chicago for my birthday, so I got even more pictures from there.

Photo Assignment 3 - Black and White

For this assignment, I decided to do black and white. I had a lot of pictures left over from previous assignments and used some of those. It was somewhat difficult to decide if changing a certain picture would change the artistic aspect of it, but at the end, all the pictures looked equally good in black and white.
