Timeline Reflection

This timeline project has been one of my favorites during this second semester. While trading ideas my group and I decided to cover photography history through the time of the 1910s to present day. With having photography information, on our timeline, we also used photographs that to represent that decade. My group and I decided to do this so the viewers could relate the images with the information to better grasp when the events throughout photography history actually happened. The other two members and I worked very hard and creatively when putting together the frames and the just the entire timeline itself. Overall Iam pleased with the end result of our timeline and have a realization on how important and fascinating photography history actually is.

Portriat Assigment

From the article we read, here, I tried my best to apply all the information given to me in this image. From both this assignment as well as the article I have learned that a portrait takes more thought than a snapshot. A snapshot is primarily a photo taken during the action of something and is usually not posed. With taking this photo I did and did not try and pose my model. Asked her to just simply stand there. Iam pleased with this photo, and I really do like the colors shown within it. Usually in portraits the model is shown from the shoulders up and/ or from the chest up. In this image I also tried to use that way to make it look more like an actual portrait. Over the course of the year I have also found a realization of compostion and I feel as if Iam improving on composition within the pictures that I take.
