(gate to old school building in Gansstraat)
I'd love any hints anyone has as to who she may be. My aunt gave her to me around 1970-71. I don't see any marks.
This is a photograph that I took when I was exploring eyes.
My work is within the genre of portraits as the subject is an infants face. I was very interested in this model as his eyes were a deep blue and easily showed beautiful patterns without having to look closely. The other colours in the image such as his clothes also help to emphasise the model's eyes as they're also blue.
I think that this is a successful photo as although there is a lot in the frame, you are instantly drawn into the eyes as the focal point.
When capturing this photograph I took into consideration the composition. Using the rule of thirds I thought about what man colours used: blue, red, skin colour, and also how many parts leave the frame such as the models head and each side of the body.
I ensured that the subject of matter was not central to prevent the image from looking basic. As you can see by the grid, I captured the image so that the model was not looking straight ahead and the face was slightly to the left. If I hadn't taken this into consideration the photograph would not be unique. As this is an extreme close up, it is not clear to pick out a background, midground and foreground.
I chose this image for my portfolio because I like how it looks almost surreal/ like it is from a fairy tale and it is just a picture of nature. I really like how the lines, shadows and lights turned out in this photo. I like the mystical mood and how deep the green of the grass is. The compositional techniques used in this photo are leading lines, framing, and rule of thirds. The lines lead to the sun which is framed by the trees and on a third. These all guide people's eyes to the sun/ source of light which creates the leading lines. In order to achieve this image I went on a walk in a park and scouted out places to take photos, opportunities for photos. When I spotted the pattern of lines on the grass I stopped to take a photo, adjusted the focus onto the sun. I got myself at an angle and position to get the photo the way I wanted. I again used the automatic setting on the light room app which controlled the exposure. In digital dark room I cropped unnecessary parts out of the photo, to keep the focus on what I wanted. I turned down the highlights, increased the contrast and the blacks and whited to make hard shadows. Also to intensify the green in the grass.
Compositionally Challenged: Week 16 One place, 3 choices. Sunrise at Point Pelee National Park marsh boardwalk - a red-winged blackbird.

During the first workshop in December 2013, the composers worked with the four highly experienced singers of VOCAALLAB (high soprano, mezzo/alto, low tenor, baritone) and Eva Reiter (viola da gamba, Paetzold bass recorder) on these pieces. The singers also presented topics from older and contemporary repertoire, in order to study and compare this material, to share their experiences, and show them different ways of singing and writing for the voice, including topics like the use of text, the different styles of vocalization (from bel canto to traditional or popular voices, world music, noises and new sounds made possible by amplification, the voice as pure instrument, speaking and transitioning from speaking to singing).
This workshop included a lecture by Wouter Snoei, regarding the question of how to use electronics in relation to voice.

COMPOSITION: Bad composition with subject positioned directly in front of tree -- it looks like the tree is growing out of his head!
Photographer: Sherry Elliott
I feel this photo meets the project goals by portraying the assignment well. I tried to focus on the composition in this photo by using the bright orange leaf to contrast against the boy's face and using rule of thirds. I took the picture in my neighborhood using my little brother as a model. I chose this picture because I feel it was the best one that I could explain how it uses composition. I edited it by turning the brightness down in the trees on the left side of the photo and by turning the brightness up on my brother's face. What I think I did well was getting my brother's face to look bright and to stand out. What I would have changed is fixing the overall color of the grass because it is two different shades of green and that just looks weird.
