Assignment 10: My Hand

Camera: Samsung Galaxy J7



Assignment 9: Negative Space

Camera: Samsung Galaxy J7

     Negative space is a tricky subject to tackle, especially in photography. I'll do my best to explain it. Negative space is the space surrounding the positive space (aka. the subject of your photo) that supplements the importance of the positive space. It helps give the viewer some 'eye space' so that the viewer does not feel attacked with too much information. Using too much or too little negative space gives your photograph negative feedback. You need to balance out the positive and negative with and an equation that is only learned through experience.

Assignment 8: Textures

Assignment 7: Create Abstracts

Camera: Samsung Galaxy J7

     Abstracts are things that seem abnormal to what you would see in life, but can be found by those with the right eyes.










Assignment 6: Leading Lines

Camera: Samsung Galaxy J7

     Leading lines in photography are objects that lead the viewers eyes to a certain part of the picture. This can be used to further emphasize the three-dimensions.

     My best example of leading lines. I used a B&W filter to make this photo way more dramatic than it was before.

Assignment 5: Symmetry

Camera: Samsung Galaxy J7

     Anything symmetrical honestly. It is most easily found in architecture and design.





     A lion sculpture became much more dramatic after adding a B&W filter.


Assignment 4: Interesting Perspectives

Camera: Samsung Galaxy J7

     Interesting perspectives are new ways of looking at everyday objects and finding a story hidden within.


The classic bird's eye view technique.


A simple table set can be made interesting just by changing the way you look at it.


Sometimes you can just have fun with these techniques.

Assignment 3: Reflections

Camera: Samsung Galaxy J7

     Reflections in photography can be used to express meaning in ways that a normal picture may not be able to capture. I find this similar to interesting perspectives.



     Reflections can even be found at home like in this picture. To make the reflections more vivid you may have to use a photo editor such as Photoshop to sharpen the shapes within the reflection. For this picture I used a mobile application called Snapseed. I merely added the dramatic filter to achieve this quality. The below picture is what this photo looked like without any filters.

Assignment 2: Repetitive Patterns

Camera: Samsung Galaxy J7

     Repetitive patterns are basically any patterns found in life that repeat themselves. (Don't know how to explain this further, because that's really all there is to it.)

     Macbook Pro keyboard with Sepia effect.

   
 Closeup of a basketball's surface with Grayscale effect.

   
The fabric used to make my Addidas bag.

   
Some more repetitive patterns.

Assignment 1: Rule of Thirds







Camera: Samsung Galaxy J7
Specs:
  • Primary: 13 MP, f/1.9, 28mm, autofocus, LED flash
  • Features: Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, panorama
  • Video: 1080p@30fps
  • Secondary: 5 MP, f/2.2, 23mm, LED flash
     My first picture trying out the rule of thirds. Used the Steve Jobs book I just bought with a white background and added the Grayscale effect.

     Focusing on the feather as my subject. The following pictures don't really have much going for them. I've taken them simply as a rule of thirds photo that can be used as a background for text, and etc.




     Two cupids hanging out in the courtyard.

     Now this is what I call a rule of thirds.
