equivalence

this image is representative of my 'analyzing qualities.' just like the image shows, things can be looked at both as complex and simple at the same time. the lighting came from the left side of the picture and creates a gradient as the eye moves from the left to right. i didn't do a lot to this picture except cropping it while in photoshop.

equivalence

this picture could represent one of two things about me. what i was trying to get out of this photo was stubbornness, but i also got a longing feeling out of it at the same time. i think that both the colors and lighting used help symbolize what i was going for. i used a studio kind of lighting(hallogen?) to create a focus on my model. I also chose a green shirt to contrast the white background. I like that there is texture that is not too distracting, but brings movement and is less boring than a traditional solid color.

equivalence

this picture is the 2nd in my series. it is representing the part of me that is inspired and idealistic. sometimes it is nice to be an optimist, but too much of this at one time can also be one of my downfalls. i think that sometimes i get my hopes up too much or find myself longing for something that may never happen. luckily, keeping an open mind can also bring strong imagination.

equivalence

my first photo representative of strength and leadership. my whole project is symbolic of a weak, and a strong trait that i carry, as well as two that can be taken both ways (beneficial and disadvantageous). 

like i said, this photo is supposed to be strong, which is why i chose red; it especially stands out with the highly-contrasted green background. i edited a lot of the background as well as "upped" the saturation.

 

"holgas"

i originally wanted to do some holgas involving strobe lights; after numerous attempts at this, i decided that using the fireworks setting on a digital camera would be much more beneficial. these are some of the things i have come up with.
