Progress Report on Final Project


My project is on emotions and I am using masks to represent how people try and cover up their emotions. So far my project is going pretty well I have some photos but I don't think they are as strong as they should be so I am going to shoot more this weekend. So far I have like 5 photos that I really like but my others are the ones I want to make stronger. I like my progress I am making and can't wait to put it all together.
my egg project is going well. I am enjoying the challenge that is coming with such a weird topic. I look forward to continuing this idea.

Progress


I feel like my final project is progressing reasonably well. While I still have not taken many photos, I do have many concrete ideas and can start shooting immediately. I shall finish my studio portraits and still-lives Monday and Tuesday of next week, and complete the rest over this weekend and edit the following week. However, I will not rush it and anticipate that it will turn out some of the best of my work thus far.

final proj. progress

My project is going well. I have shot a lot of my photos but still have a few left to do. I still need to edit a lot of them. I am happy with the photos I have edited. They all connect to my theme nicely and I am excited to see how the project turns out.

"Current blog post due at end of class today"

Progress for my project is a bit slow but so far I'm really enjoying all the photos I've gotten to shoot. My model (may brother) is almost more into this project than I am so I am having lots of fun setting this all up with him. I've still got a few more to shoot and they will take some time but I have not lost any hope.

Update

My project is coming along nicely. I have some studio photos that I'm very excited about and my out-of-studio photos are coming along as well. My project theme is still Beauty and the Beast but I'm playing with the idea of adding in some characters that weren't in the book/movie to try and answer some of the questions the movie does not address.

i have changed my project from what I originally thought it was going to be. Theres nothing to complex to it- Just a mime stuck in a snow globe. No big Deal really. My photos are mostly going to be surreal (except for the enviormental photos)… but I'm excited to see how the rest of these photos turn out.
I have changed my project to nature and how people use it and animals use it. We use it for building houses and fields and parks.  My project is going well and i have some photos.  i am shooting in the studio tomorrow so I can get my studio photos knocked out. This photo Represents how we have turned nature into something a lot of people use everyday.


my project is on edginess and people who have reached their limit. The project is going well so far. I have completed my studio photos, this being one of them. This photo depicts a person who has been pushed into becoming a killer.

Final Project Progress

I changed my final project to the stress of high school to fit in. My final project has really come together and I have taken half the photos, but I have all the other photos planned and I have thought out exactly what I will do. I am portraying the darker side of high school, and what it takes to "fit in". I am very excited to see the final outcome of my project and see how everyone reacts to my project since we are all in high school, and some high schoolers have to go through this. I have both my still life done, one of my studio done, and two of my outside of studio photos done. I have to go out and take my two environmental, one at school and one at a tattoo shop. I also have to take a photo at the mall, in a bedroom, and in my backyard. My project is very controversial and is a risk since we are in high school, but I feel like it has come together in the best way possible.


    My final project has progressed well with 8 images so far. I have the next image planned out and I'm scheduled to shoot it tomorrow night. Furthermore, I need to include a still life which ties in with my theme- the construction of one's path. The image above represents all of the things someone has experienced that has helped keep them together; things that have helped her foundation as a person.

Final Project Progress

My final project is going great. I already have 7 photos. I have 1 more still life, and 2 environmental portraits left. This photo is one of my still lifes. I am really happy with this image because it is really clear and sharp. The pineapple represents pure life because pineapple are thought to be on an island and tropical just like pure life!

Final Progression

My final project is going okay. I have do not have many photos completed, but the ones I do have completed are very sharp and clear.  I have planned what am going to do for the rest of the photos and I plan on shooting them all this weekend. I think it will end up looking good. I am still doing jewelry as my theme.

Final Project Progress

My progress on my final project is great! I have 9 pictures done and am working on a few others. I think overall, my idea for the project in the beginning is solidifying nicely! It is pretty much what I envisioned it to be! I want to be sure that I portrayed different aspects of faith and worship, and I feel like I have done that well between portraits and buildings and objects. I feel like I have covered many aspects of the same overall concept, which is what I had hoped for in the beginning. I still have my sill lives to shoot, which will complete my project. I am excited at how far along I am!

Friday, April 25, 2014

I feel my final project is coming together well. I have not finished edited many photos, however, I have all of my ideas planned out already. I know what I want to shoot, when, and where. I know how I want to edit them and what point I want to get across with each photo. All I have left to do is shoot the rest, but I will be done shooting soon according to when I have scheduled to shoot. The photos I have done so far I think have turned out well. I have done three, one of which is a triptych. I would like to reshoot one of them, my still life, in the studio though. I think the lighting is weird in the photo and I plan to redo it. My triptych, is of someone in the dark alone. She looks upset, sad, and scared; which is all a type of pain. She partly looks like that because taking those photos around 11 at night in a sketchy part of town was very scary. My other photo I have taken was one of my studio portraits, which shows the emotional pain someone can feel. I posed my model in a way to wear the viewer feels like they can understand how the model feels. I hope to succeed in getting my point across, of captured all sorts of pain someone can feel in their life.
                                       
I think that my final project is coming along pretty well. I still have a lot of work to do but I feel that I have a good foundation and can make this project into a good one. I want to make sure that I portray all types of camouflage. The hardest ideas to come up with are environmental portraits, but I have a couple ideas. I need to take my studio pictures so that I do not run out of time. This project is unique and different than anything I have done before and I think it will take a lot of experimenting and willingness to try new and different things. I want to make sure that all of my photos are creative. I am excited to finish this project.


My project is coming along very well so far. I am doing imagination vs. reality. But instead of doing the stereotypical view on who has an imagination and who is more in touch with the reality of the world, I am doing different ages and genders. So far I have a few of my pictures finished. This weekend I hope to take a lot of pictures because I have most of my ideas planned out.
My project is on perspective, and how you may notice small details about something if you get a new perspective.  My images will be in sets of two.  The first one in each set will be a close-up  that focuses on the detail of an object.  The second one will be from a more distant perspective, revealing the context of the object.  So far, I have completed editing of two of my "up to me" photos and I have many more that I can edit. Also, I have taken my still lives.  However, my SD card with the still lives on it has been misplaced, so I may have to reshoot those.  Overall, I feel happy about my progress and the quality of my project.
For my final project, I will be shooting pictures that portray poverty. As of now, I have only one photo because I am planning to go downtown to shoot in sketchy parts of town. I already have a day and time planned to shoot, but I have to work around the people I am going to shoot with's schedules. I have a really good idea of what I want my pictures to look like, I just need to go out and shoot them. I feel organized going into shooting these images, I might be a little rushed, but I think I can do it. (:
So far I still have a lot of work to do. I have made a lot of progress, and I have thought of many of my ideas. So far many of the pictures I have taken have not turned out exactly as I planed so I'm still working on enhancing those. Otherwise, besides editing my photos, I still have to take some new photos as well as my studio photos. I am very pleased with what I have accomplished so far.

Final project report





My final project is going well. I went downtown and took pictures in an alley.  This weekend I am going to be shooting more environmental and next week I will shoot my studios and still lifes in the studio.

Final Project Update

My final project has progressed greatly since the last blog post. I feel I have portrayed my theme effectively and I have successfully saved 7 photos and I have numerous photos that are being prepared to be added to my project and I feel my project is creative and effective for my topic.

Project Progress

I have progressed very far in my project. I have taken six finished photographs. All I have left to do is one environmental and my two studio photos. My project is on how artistic expression is used in its many forms. Right now I am just fine tuning my pictures and cleaning them up until I take more. So far I feel I am in a good place in my project and good on time.
My project is going well. I have taken both of my still life photos and a few out of studio portraits. I have taken pictures of spiritual growth, knowledge growth, growth through creativity, relationship growth (love), and physical growth (dog). I plan to take more, but so far I am happy with my progress.

As of now my project theme is how we use our hands/arms to express ourselves. My project is going fairly well so far. My photos are not as cohesive as I wanted. I have two photos of my sisters, but then my still life images are not as relatable to my other photos as I wanted them to be. My sisters environmental portraits relate to each other because they are similar in composition but my still life images do not relate. I have a photo of a barbie, where she is dancing. The barbie relates more to the portraits, but the hand print image does not relate because it is very dark. My other photos are happy. I think I am going to reshoot the handprint image or change my still life to something else.
I recently changed my final project idea to An Artist's Canvas, therefore my progress on my project is not going well. I have planned out almost every composition, but have yet to take one yet considering that I changed my project idea yesterday. I am very excited about all of my ideas especially my in studio portraits. I changed my project idea because I was not happy with the turn out of my serenity ideas and think that my "canvas" ideas would be much more successful.
My final project is going kind of slow but its coming along. Ive taken two shots at my house. My theme is feminism. Im excited to shoot in the studio next week because i already have my ideas. I'm going to take my still life shots sometime next week.

My final project is coming along. I am photographing a different perspective of children. I want to convey a different side of kids that one would not envision them as. I also want to convey an evil side of children, possibly more mature, of children. I also want to portray the evil side of children's toys to go along with their mature actions. I have taken this picture of a worn out baby doll.

For my final project I am doing stress and what people stress over(bills, jobs, self image etc.). I have shot a couple of pictures so far, but I checked out a camera for this weekend to take some more images. I think this project will turn out well I just need to shoot them. Here is one of my pictures that represents the stress of school and all of the work/homework you have.

Final Project

For my final project I chose to depict different types of jewelry. My progress is slow but I have all of my ideas planned out. Because jewelry is limited, I will try to get jewelry that may not be as popular or out of the norm.

final project

My project is based around the American military.  My grandfather was in the navy, so I am doing this project to honor him and all the people who have fought or are fighting for our country.  My project is going pretty well. I have some good ideas and a family friend has agreed to let me take pictures of him in his uniform.

Thursday, April 17, 2014

For my final project I decided to do the mood serenity. The project so far is coming along well and I am excited for you to see the final project! Originally, I thought I would do urban lifestyle, but decided that serenity would be much more powerful.
For my final project I am photographing PAIN. I am going to capture all kinds of pain people may experience. Pain from love, pain from school stress, pain from friends, and physical pain from bumps and bruises. All kinds of physical and mental pain is what I will capture. This is a still life that represents the amount of pain someone can be in by showing the amount of Advil or "pill popping" someone could do.

Love in different eras

My project is conveying love in different eras. To accomplish this, I will take photos of couples dressed up in their eras clothing and what is happening in this era at this time. In this photo, this couple are in the 50s during the civil rights movement. They are standing together against segregation so they will show the world that you can love anyone no matter their color. I am making progress but it will take lots of time because I have to plan with the schedules of the models.
My idea for the project was to take pictures of what my analysis of "The Road Less Taken" by Robert Frost is. This picture is supposed to be what one of his "roads" a man could take in life- living in the city.

Final Project

For my final project, my theme is faith/worship. It will be images having to do with the way people worship, how they do it, and where. I am a little behind schedule, but i have faith (no pun intended) that I will make it in time.
My final project is on happiness and what gives people happiness.  It will feature not only people but animals and how they become happy. It is going well and I hope it will be great.

Final Project

The theme of my final project is deception. Within this theme, I intend to explore the ways in which people deceive and are deceived, and how and why they do and are, represented both overtly and abstractly. I feel as though I have solid ideas as to my photos, but still must actually take them, which I will do post-haste.
My project has to do with being pushed over the edge. It is going well and I look forward to taking more pictures in order to make this composition good.

For my final project I am doing a series of diptychs showing the difference between imagination and reality. I am going to photograph people of different ages and show their contrasting views on life and how they are affected by their imagination or lack of imagination. Also I will show how dreams play into a person's day and how being in touch with the realistic parts of life affect one's life as well. I am not taking photos that limit only children having an imagination and adults to only having a realistic outlook on life. 

For my final project, I am doing poverty. My project is going well so far, and I have an idea of what I want my pictures to look like and I want them all to have similar saturation and the same look. I planned out days where I am going to take my pictures and I know where I will go to take these pictures. I am going to show poverty by not only pictures of poverty and homeless people, but use photoshop and saturation tools to make the images have the same feel as my theme.

Final Project




           My final project will be on the idea of "home".  It will be people's relationships with their home, the feelings they associate with home, what effect their home has on their actions, what their home means to them in general, and what they consider to be their home.





My final project is on perspective and how you notice details that you may never notice if you didn't try to get a new perspective.  In my project, I will capture a unique perspective of an object, then the  next photo will have a common point of view.  You will be able to see the details of the object in the first photo, and will  see the object in general in the next.
I am doing my final project on stress. I am going to capture how different people get stressed(school, work, kids etc.). Overall, I am happy with how this project is turning out!


My project is on Wannabes and how everything and everyone tries to be something they aren't. People and things are always replicating to be something else. My project is going very well so far. I had some trouble trying to figure out what I wanted to do for my topic.
My final project is going to be on Camouflage. I probably won't use this image, but I am going to make others like it. My project will portray many different things blending in, both objects and people. This is just a simple example of "camouflage". I want to make images like these but with more intensity portraying all definitions of camouflage. I am very excited about this project!
I am doing my final project on destruction. I want to show literal destruction with buildings coming to a fall. I also want to show self destruction, and how people can destroy themselves from within. This photo is an example of literal destruction with buildings being destroyed over time, and how a once beautiful building, is now the place of graffiti and vandalism.
 



My final project is going to have the theme of growth, and it is going well. I'm going to focus on all aspects of growth and not just physical growth.

I am doing my final project on night life. I want to capture the different lives people have at night and how the world can look completely different at night. I want to capture a different perspective people have on nighttime.

   My final project is about the construction of one's path. This image represents a once beautiful and successful bank tower in down town Jacksonville. The building has taken the path of being abandoned, and broken although it still continues to be an architectural wonder. My project is going strongly, and I plan to shoot more images as of this weekend.

Final Project Theme


For my final project, I am doing Beauty and the Beast. I want to try and tell the story in a different way while still remaining true to the original story line. So far, I'm making slow but steady process and I'm really happy with how my photos are turning out so far.

Final Project

My final project is going well. My final project is on emotions and how people go through all different emotions either throughout the day or throughout their life's.  This is one of my friends that is portraying frustration.
my final project is going really well. I am documenting my last few weeks as a freshman, starting with going to one spark. I don't know how i am going to end it yet, bc a lot will happen before the school year is over. I just have to wait and see.

Final Project

I am doing my final project on "pure life." I went on a cruise over spring break, so I was able to take pictures at the beach and of the ocean in pure life. I plan to keep doing calm and serene images that portray pure life! This picture is a buggy in Cozumel, Mexico. It represents pure life riding the streets in Mexico in a convertible on the ocean, enjoying life.
