I took this mother-daughter photo while walking on Walnut Street. I love how vibrant their pink outfits stand out against the cool neutrals of the street and the sidewalk.The little girl's polkadot pants contrast nicely with the lines and textures on the road and sidewalk. The light bathes over them quite beautifully, and the way it illuminates their clasped hands is a perfect representation of their relationship. I cropped the photograph to eliminate any competing red-based colors and to center the focus on them. I also adjusted the brightness, saturation, vibrancy, and color slightly to make their pink outfits pop more.
The sincerest form of flattery...:The photographer I was trying to emulate is street photographer Nils Jorgensen, whose work you can find on Flickr at: www.flickr.com/photos/nilsjorgensen/sets/72157594340128552/
I was specifically interested in his set titled "We two form a multitude" and his unique way of capturing relationships between people, while also incorporating vibrant color. I think that this photograph speaks to the love that is present in many of his photographs and uses the same vibrancy of color .
Critique: Although I like that I captured them from behind and therefore without their knowledge, which is very similar to much of Jorgensen's work, it would have been nice to see their faces. Also, I feel like it could have been a more impactful photo if my angle had been slightly lower.
Conclusion: I *really* like this photo. And although I had many others that would have worked well with Jorgensen's style, I was really drawn to this one. Their matching outfits and the natural and intimate gesture of their clasped hands is very genuine.
“She ignored me” quote taken from “ New moon” by Stephenie Meyer

The colours of red and blue represent the opposing genders, female and male respectively. There are two ways to interpret my work. The figure of the woman is like she is walking away from him, which in this case is "E". (A male's figure) The shape of the female figure "S" along with the flowing hair is like she is walking away.
The words "ignored me" are insignificant to contrast the words "SHE" , it is quite small, lower case and transparent as if they have been forgotten. The disjoint of the words allows the viewer to ignored and took times to connect the words "ignored m" with the "E"
This photo shows my love for both art and Star Wars. I have a sketchbook placed in the back as well as a drawing of Kylo Ren.
Intention: I wanted to create contrast with the wood against the necklace piece, but I really wanted to try and capture the black shadows on the top and bottom of the photo to make it seem mysterious and almost like it is floating.
Text Reference: Since the necklace piece is rather small, I wanted to focus on also trying to make it seem small by referencing what Freeman stated in The Photographer’s Eye regarding Placement, “The importance of placement increases as the subject becomes smaller in the frame.”
Outcome: The level of contrast and the compositional placement follows the Rule of 3rds and is artistically appealing.
Edits: Exposure adjustment, Contrast boost, Black boost, highlight boost, Purple and Magenta saturation boost, Orange and Yellow saturation decrease slightly, slight vignette, slight grain boost, clarity boost
