Photographer Research

http://www.tylershields.com/photos/


I have interest in Tyler Shields because his work is colorful, edgy, and dramatic. He takes materialistic things that people obsess over and destroy them to make a statement. I like how he shows his personal opinion through this photos.

I have interest in Anges Lopez because as a wedding photographer she doesn't just take a posed image but she captures the special or just maybe funny moments at the wedding that the bride experienced but may have never been able to again. With these pictures that she captured of the relationship between the bride and her guests she will be able to remember her special day for the rest of her life through these photos.

I have interest in Zena Holloway because in her photos she creates a magical fantasy land and its very mysterious but also intriguing. In some of her photographs she has the image of human mermaids and even puppets but the most interesting thing about her work is that all of the images are taken underwater.

I am interested in Dan Chung's work because i really enjoy watching the Olympic games. The athletes dedicated that participate in the games have worked so hard and dedicated four years of their life for that one week. He is practically giving back by capturing all the hard work they have accomplished.

I admire Jeremy Turner's work because he captures the essence of the Earth's beauty. God created this earth and it deserves to be worshiped and that can be done by taking a moment and sitting back and taking the picture and no matter how the environment changes, the beauty of the picture will never change.

Photo Safari

1. Low angle wide shot of the chapel (exteriors only)

2. Extreme tight shot human eye

3. Low angle long shot

4. A shot with circular repetition

5. A shot with leading lines

6. High angle full length shot

7. Low angle medium shot

8. A reflection

9. A cornerstone

10. Mr. Yocum in championship form  

What I learned from this project is how to take photographs from all different kinds of angles. I found that in this project taking the actual pictures were easier than I thought and the uploading process was just as hard as I thought it was going to be. Photo composition will help my later in the year by teaching me different angle techniques that I can use in future assignments. My strongest picture from this blog project I think is the low angle medium shot because of the lighting. My weakest shot in my opinion is the low angle long shot because i do not think it is in enough focus.
