I used a compositional technique of leading lines. It makes my photo better by leading you straight to my subject. This is my best photo because it helps show emotion through the photo. It also shows the best compositional strategies.. The leading lines go into the distance meeting the subject at a sad angle. I adjusted the shadows and had her face hidden from the photo to give the subject a sad mood. There also wasn’t a lot of color throughout the picture to go along with the mood. I knew I wanted to use leading lines with the brick wall but then I found the bench that gave more leading lines that helped the photo.
My greatest success in photo class was learning how to be creative using a limited resource. Throughout the year we were taught a lot on how to become more creative and think like a real photographer. Some of the limitations that I used were using a Q-tip, CD, and certain objects throughout the class. These projects all gave me more of a creative mind and a better thinking process for my personal projects. I used CD reflections for my project to create color that would stand out. I had a lot of fun doing limitations because it gave me a challenge and expanded my thinking.
If I were to take Photo 1 and 2 again I would ask my first Photo 1 teacher if we could edit our photos so that throughout the year I could gradually become better at photoshop and know a lot more about it. I feel like with the time I had learning photoshop I grew to a better understanding and had a lot of fun. I would also of not deleted my photos from my old class because I could’ve compared my current ones to the old ones that I used to have. I wish I had the same creative mind as I do now then when I started.
In Photo class I learned how to have a more creative mind and thinking process. This can apply in my life through future schooling in college and to my future jobs. Having a creative mind will make me stand out more than other people applying for a job that I want. It can help me come up with great ideas for my room or future house. In jobs it's important to have a creative mind to get tasks done to the best of my ability. I also learned what colors go together and for what reasons. This can help me for if I decide to go into marketing or business.
