Semester Final Exam - Period 3

Linda Garibay's Photography

Favorite Post

My favorite post for this semester was the Richard Avedon Inspired. This was my favorite post because i enjoyed imitating a great photographer and i loved the way in which my photos came out. I also like this post because in the photos my model Nathalie Gonzales shows great emotion. Wether it was a serious face or a smile. Lastly i like this post the most because most of the pictures in this post are caught off guard and they show a beautiful effect along withe the black and white effect. 

Out of all of my picture i have taken this has always been one of my favorites. i love this picture because Nathalie Gonzales is completely caught off guard as she was preparing for her next photo. i also highly appreciate this photo because of the emotion that she portrays in her face. Which also leads to the effect that it was caught off guard and she had no idea she was being captured. Lastly, i love this picture because of the way in which the black and white completely gives a different look to the photo as apposed to it being in color.  

My best photo for this semester would have to be this photo of Nathalie Gonzales, inspired by Richard Avedon. I believe this is my best photo because of its outstanding effect of being captured off guard. i also believe this is my best photo because of the rules of composition i used. In this picture i space along the background around her head. i also used looking away from the camera and added the effect of black and white. This is my best picture because of its old effect it creates. As to "old" i refer to its black and white effect and her looking away from the camera and the emotion on her face.  

i would have never expected a quick test shot would end up to be one of my Best pictures i have captured this semester. 

Three Advantages about working in a group are, if you ever need help on anything you will always have your group members to ask before asking a teacher. Working in groups can always minimize the work in certain occasions, when every one has their own responsibility. Group work also allows you to view ideas and opinions from different perspectives, which opens up more opportunities.

ALthough working in groups has its advantages it also has its disadvantages. working in groups can always slow your pace town if you have a lot of people in your group and you have to wait for them. Another disadvantage is that some people work better alone and not in groups. Finally,  working by yourself also gives you less options because you dont have many people to photograph as apposed to being in a group. 

PIcture is Life 

Henri Cartier-Bresson knew when his photos were aligned by his geometry of pictures, being patient and only using one lens. 

BEFORE 

AFTER

BLACK AND WHITE 

During Second semester a project that would interest me is being able to capture athletes while their playing the sport they love or practicing. Or just people in action in general. 

i Think Mr. Farley is in a "Hecka Free Zone" because it is not an accurate word to use at any time. 

"Hecka" is not word. Much more a Slang.  

First Semester Final Project

 i chose this picture i captured of Millicent Villa Because of it rules of compostions i used. 

The lines on the background create an effet that leads the viewer to her face to emphasize 

the smile on her face. 

 i chose this picture because it shows her natural personality in front of the camera. .

A lot of people are shy to be their selfs while being photographed. It shows that she is 

comfortable being herself in front of the camera. Her black sweater aslo makes her stand out

i  in a bright background like the hallway. 

i also chose this picture because it also shows her natural personality. Although she can

 pose and smile at the camera it shows that MIllicent Villa can also be silly and outgoing. In this 

picture the background also leads in to her and the way in which she is posing. 

i chose this picture because it focuses on Millicent Villa. Although there is a person 

standing in the back left the brightness of the background dras the attention to her wear a dark 

sweater. 

i chose this picture because the color of her clothing makes her stands out in front of the 

brick wall. The tone of her skin color also stands out because she is light skinned and the brick wall makes her face stand out as opposed to some one who is dark skinned.

101 Portrait Photography Tips

In my research for improving the process of taking a portrait i learned that when taking a photography of younger kids and babies you should use a faster shutter speed because they tend to move a lot more and cant manage to stay still. i also learned that to get a more natural look in doors, next to a window is the best place to take a picture. When taking a portrait it is also important to pay attention to the background and the surroundings of the person who is going to be photographed. The color of clothes in which the person is also something to pay attention to. If the person is wearing bright colors it is more likely to stand out then if someone who is just wearing dark colors. The colors they are wearing may also reflect on they background you may want to chose. 

Artistic review

        Bryan Farley is a photographer, a husband and a father. He captures a variety of 

photo's, but focuses a portion of it on children and families. Farley searches for the invisible

 viewers with four nicely captured and focused photo's. In his first picture he provides a photo 

of a young lady getting her make up done for a special occasion. In the next photo we can see
