Assignment 1

In this photo I included most of the wire to show the chaos and confusion that I was trying to portray.  Using most of the subject shows the struggle that my roommates and I have been having in our apartment setting up cable and internet, it shows the length of the wire and how confusing it can be to work your way from one end to the other.  In this photograph I used a large aperture causing the foreground and the background to be fuzzy.  This aided in showing the depth of the subject and it's never-ending appearance.  I chose to make the wire fill the from from left to right to make it the main focus of the photo.  If I had expanded the frame on either side it would have shown the couch and the door, taking some of the concentration off of the subject.

In this photograph I chose to use back lighting to cause the subject to be darker than the light backdrop.  It helped make harsher shadows and highlights.  Where the hula hoop touches my arms it appears to be the same color causing myself and the hoop to look connected.  In this image the lines in the sheet that I used as a backdrop go in toward the subject and the hula hoop circles the subject, causing me to be the main focus of the photo.

In this photo I wanted to portray the word secret.  I had Johnny (the kid in front) block Erik's face to keep him hidden or "secret."  Their dark hair and shirt contrast with the white wall.  To make the scene more dramatic I would have made them darker to make it seem that there's a dark secret that they're telling each other but I wanted to make the mood light to show them telling secrets and more having fun than being serious.  The lines in this photograph are important.  There are a lot of diagonal lines-the door, arm rest, and the lines that the boy's arms create-that cause the photo to appear to have more motion to make it look like an action shot rather than being posed.
