Mopa

Mopa- For my mopa project, i painted half of my face brown and half black and took a picture of myself. I really thought that it could have come out cooler that i hoped for, but it didnt end up coming out how i wanted it. I wanted it to represent that though my skin is white i am actually African American and Latina. I fixed it in photo shop so that it could look more outdoorsy and the lighting would have looked better.

TIMELINE!

This timeline project was very interesting to me, because we did how photography has portrayed sex from the time that it first started in the late 1800's to the modern day 2000's. I learned a lot during the process of getting information for the timeline, although it did take my group members and I up until the day it was due. Even though we got it done and in on time, i felt like we could have done a way better job than we did and had more information on there. Overall i think that it was a good assignment because it expanded our knowledge on different areas of photography. 

Portrait

When i first did this project, i did a horrible job because i didn't fully understand the concept of a portrait, and that i needed to use widow light or door light. I used door light in this photo because i felt like it would let more light in on her face than a window would. I liked how the light shined on her face and her hair making her look more pure. 

Manjari Sharma

The difference between a snapshot and a portrait cannot be said in one word, because there are many differences. For one, a snapshot is an "in the moment thing". A portrait on the other hand is much more sensual, and much more connected. Manjari Sharma uses water in many of her images and white clothes or no clothes. I think this shows the purity and soul in her models that shes trying to portray.

When i took this shot i took it with the intension of making it about some of the arts at school and also making it diverse.
i tried to capture the light mostly on Tashia because she was the most dark of the group, and therefore needed the most light. I think that this picture is balanced with the two models on the right along with the one model and the cello on the left. I think i could have done a better job with this, but i am going to experiment with other types of placements and angles of the models.

 i read the tutorial on how to do this and it seemed kind of hard at first but it ended up being easier than i thought. i think that the photo looks a lot better softened than just natural, it makes my skin look nicer and everything in the photo look smoother.

 this assignment wasn't  too hard, it was actually kind of fun. i tried to make my picture look kind of earthy and woodsy. i picked colors that matched my hair, and my clothes, that way it wouldn't be too crowded and colorful.
