Photography is different for everyone and it means something else for everyone. I took Photography this year because I saw myself taking more and more photos of my daily life with my phone. However, not all of the pictures I took turned out to be perfect and I constantly found myself editing my pictures later (which I really do enjoy). I joined Photography to get a better understanding of what each button does, what it affects and to learn to take more quality pictures. I still love putting filters on photos or changing the contrast and lighting, but now I know how to do it when taking the actual picture and I have a better idea on how to frame a subject for a better result. To me, photography is a way to capture happy and good moments, so you can always have them to reflect upon.
MY ART
Photography
My Pictures
Explanation
The inspiration for my pictures came from the weekly topics given. I also had some shots that were just there and grabbed my attention. My subjects were mostly just different things that fit into the category. In my pictures a common theme is that they're mostly of stationary objects. A style I have would be how I don't center the subject, so it gives it an extra dimension feel to it.
I feel that art helps depict who you are. When I took pictures in Photography, I wanted people to get to know me. I took simple shots to represent the go with the flow type of life I have. Mostly taking photos of what was assigned each week, reminded me of my natrual instict to follow the rules. Photography was a class where I got to have fun and still create cool projects.
