Big Project pre post

For the fourth quarter our big project is going to be very time consuming but rewarding. Our class has to pick a photographer and emulate their style as well research the photographer. In the end we will have 10 final works. The artist I chose is Andrew Prokos. He's famous for his photos of architecture, buildings, and entire cityscapes. I plan on emulating Prokos style by photographing the architecture in Boston.

For this project we had to take pictures of buildings, but also incorporate interesting shadows. Out of the two I took I like the second one better because of the shadows. The building goes from darker to lighter from left to right and it blends very well. While I was taking these photos I was thinking about the rule of thirds and filling the frame. If I were to change anything in this project I would want to take photos of a building with more interesting architecture.   

Rural Photos

Rural Photography

For this project we had to take photos of rural areas. I chose to do both of my photos of decayed, run down shacks because when I think of rural I think of an area that was once prosperous, but has since become desolate. In this project I learned how to take good photos outside, and how to look for good shadows.

In this project we had to look at the different examples of bad photos and then try them ourselves. wrong white balance, camera shake, too dark, blur, and obstructed view were all the photos we had to take.

Too bright 

Obstructed View

After this doing this project I learned what a bad photo essentially is. This will help me in the rest of my photography career because now i'll know what to look for and avoid doing while taking pictures. This project wasn't very creative, but I benefited greatly from doing it.
