Final Exam

1.

This is my transformative photo. This photo was part of a project that I designed and I am proud of the idea that I came up with. My idea was to bring back old toys and games that I have not played with for years and cherish the articles of my childhood. This photo is an example of what I learned photography can do. It isn't as simple as pushing a button. I experienced firsthand how much thought goes behind setting up a picture and even afterwards editing it. I learned that it could tell stories. I learned that it can be used to inspire and to share moments with others. Most importantly, it is a record and it holds memories so that I can never forget them. 

Shape refers to closed lines that are inherently two-dimensional. They are flat, unlike art which has form. Form is three-dimensional, which means that it has depth.

Pattern is more prevalent throughout the whole picture. It is the same object being copied without any variation. Repetition, on the other hand, can have the same pattern yet still make each copy feel different from one another. That means that a picture with repetition will be less monotonous than a picture of just pattern.

A photographer who inspired me is actually a pair of photographers. Their about page is here.

5. My last three projects are: Fun and Games, Commercial Shoot, and Multicultural Week (Newest to oldest).
The most recent project titled "Fun and Games" is what I view as my best work. Out of all the projects throughout the year, this one holds the most personal connection, because it ties in nostalgia with growing up. It made me realize that I could actually create a good idea and execute it well. It made me realize that, yes, I am a good photographer and that I can continue to improve, because I was able to do this for myself. I see what I am capable of, and that gives me confidence to advance my photography skills.
