Color (Hot Rods)


All these photos were taken using an Iphone Camera and the Photoshop app.







Reflection:
          My idea for this project was to show color through photographing Hot Rods. Hot Rods are cars older than 1964 that have been modified by it's body or engine. Anyway, these cars often have flashy unique colors that differ from the usual dull colors on newer cars. These photos were taken at the Big 3 Auto Swapmeet during Feb 23-25. This is a new idea, I had thought of it a few weeks ago when I remembered the biggest auto swapmeet of the year was the weekend before my project was due and I wanted to incorporate this event into one of my projects. My challenges were getting to Qualcomm Stadium for the swapmeet since I had to work Friday and Saturday. But it all ended up fine. I had lots of success photographing all the cars. I also knew what angles were good to photograph because I have known automotive photographers since I was young. I will not continue with this project because the event is now over but I had a decent time doing it.

Hobbies (Guitar)

Image
Guitar These photos were all taken using an iPhone Camera. They are a series of different expressions people have while playing guitar. In the first photograph, you have a happy relaxed player. The second picture is deceptive, his head isn't resting on the guitar because he is lazy, it is because he is listening closely and following the notes. Now the third and fourth pictures both share the common expression of people being focused on their playing. The final picture is 3 guys interested in playing the guitar and naturally smiling and talking about it. Reflection:           This idea was very experimental and turned out differently than I expected. I wanted to experiment with taking pictures of people playing the guitar to try and capture the emotion/focus they put into while playing. You can probably infer that one of my hobbies is playing the guitar and luckily I take a guitar class as one of my electives. This idea is ...

Unity and Variety (Clothing Style)

Image
All these photos were taken using an Iphone Camera and the Photoshop app. Reflection:         This project is simple in it's idea. My idea was to show unity and variety through photographing different styles of clothes. This is a new idea I thought of when I was talking to one of my friends about clothing. He had an interest in clothes and he was telling me how everyone has their own specific style even if you wear the same thing. It was actually an interesting idea and I noticed that even though people can wear the same type of clothing, they would bring their own twist/taste on the style. This idea is completely new as I just came up with it last week. My challenges have been finding the right people to photograph from each group. I noticed that cliques all tend to wear similar styles of clothing. So I would have to find someone different from each clique. My successes have been being able to become friends with new people and thus, finding the...

Reactions

Image
Reflection: The goal of this project was to photograph people's facial expressions before and after complimenting them. This idea was completely new and I thought of it the same day I took the photographs. My challenge was that I expected positive reactions from everyone and I didn't. Some people gave me weird looks. Probably because I have never complimented them. My successes were getting genuine reactions from people and having a variety of them. They were also comical. I want to continue with this idea and change up the compliments.
