This photo can be interpreted as a way to call to task the environmental crisis we find ourselves in today. The darkness surrounding Mother Nature as she attempts to continue to reproduce her beautiful tree and foliage.
I chose this photo to represent the best of my work because I have received so many compliments on this particular work, and I had the most fun in the process of creating this one opposed to all others. In order to create this photo, I had to take the original picture with a long depth-of-field so I could have a wider margin for editing my drawing into the environment. I mostly wanted to stop any plausible motion within the original picture so I could further reduce any possible blur to ease the main editing significantly. I wanted to make my drawing come to life in both a unique and realistic way, so I used the puddle to give it a reflection.
I have grown so much in being able to interpret my ideas and creativity. I feel that my greatest success in this class is gaining a new, valuable, and viable medium for my expression of my ideas, feelings, and personality through photographic artwork. Having the knowledge to use photoshop properly and be able to create or recreate something that satisfyingly fulfills a previous vision of mine is a gives me a strong feeling of confidence and motivation that I had never even imagined before. I feel like I have the guts to take risks as an artist, and to explore new things without hesitation.
Looking back, I focused more on the limitations that stopped me from achieving a certain thing rather than thinking about how I could overcome them, or simply get around them. I would be faced with obstacles and I would give up too easily, too early. If I could have done anything different if I were to retake this class, I wouldn’t give up so easily the next time around.
The major boost in confidence that I have taken away from this class can be applied to nearly anything that I can think of in future circumstances like taking on new challenges, getting a job, pursuing a career in the field of photography, which doesn’t seem like such a bad idea to me. There’s a lot more to take away from this than just the photoshop and camera skills. One can learn so much more information about themselves as well.
I was attempting to take pictures of my cats. I then decided to try and take a picture of one of their eyes. Later, I noticed my reflection in my cat's eye.
