Assignment 4

Composition: For this image it was important for me to include the entire glass of milk and the Oreos. I wanted also to include the reflection in the granite and the shadow behind the glass.

Concept: I was trying to create a picture that you could use for an advertisement.

Method: My method to shooting this photograph was setting up a scene that could be an image of an advertisement. In order to think of this method I brainstormed and looked at things around my house that could be advertised.

Motivation: My motivation in this image was to show the Oreos and milk in the shot and make it the main focus.

Context: In this image I wanted to portray an advertisement that included an interesting aspect, which is why I included the reflection.

Composition: In this image it was really important to include the upper half of my body to show the dress and body language.

Concept: This image is supposed to depict fashion photography. In fashion photography, I've noticed, models always seem to have crazy hair styles and almost awkward body positions.

Method: For this image I set up a little studio in my house with a sheet backdrop. The thing that inspired me for this method was my old prom dress, I thought it would work well for a fashion photograph.

Motivation: My motivation for this photo was to create an image that has the same funky, awkward feel that fashion photographs portray.

Context: This image shows that "high fashion" can sometimes look awkward and uncomfortable.

Composition: I wanted to include both of the figures in this image and have the image be a little bit blurry while still having enough in focus to make out what the picture is of.

Concept: In this image I wanted to show a snapshot so I told them to move around a little bit to cause some blur in the photo.

Method: Originally for this image I wanted to use them for photo booth so I had my friends pose and just keep making different faces, however after I took them I noticed that since they were a little blurry they worked well for a snap shot photograph.

Motivation: My motivation for this shot was to include from their chest up because originally I wanted it to be a photo booth image.

Context: I wanted this image to be fun and lighthearted. I wanted to show friends having fun together.

Composition: In this image it was important to capture my face and the hair sticking up on top of my head.

Concept: In this image I was trying to recreate a film still of Alfalfa from The Little Rascals.

Method: When I came up with the idea for this image I was actually playing with my dreads in the mirror and noticed that I could make one of them stand straight up, and I immediately thought of The Little Rascals and decided to do a film still of Alfalfa.

Motivation: My motivation for this image was to create a picture that reminded people of Alfalfa.

Context: For some reason when I think of Alfalfa I have this image of him with his cheeks puffed out and his ears sticking out so I wanted to capture that image with the infamous Alfalfa hair.
