In-Depth Photo Illustrations

photo realistic alteration

The concept of this photo is the story of the "5 second rule".

This is my favorite photo of realistic alteration because you can tell that it has been altered but it all still fits together to create a believable image with a strong concept.

The staged illustration

The strawberry panna cotta with cardamom macaroon and strawberry black-pepper coulis is a new dish at Mantra, a Boston restaurant.

This is my favorite photo of a staged illustration because it creatively, artistically and interestingly advertised a new dish.

The composite image

The concept of this image is to remind readers about daylights saving time.

This is my favorite photo of a composite image because it incorporates the clock and the silhouette of a person inside of it.

photo made into art

This is an image of a wedding dress.

This is my favorite photo of a realistic alteration because it is good photography that was altered into something that I can truly picture on a frame next to other paintings.

This is my favorite illustration because they made the most of what they had. All they had was a low quality mug shot and they turned it into something unique and interesting. Even though it is very simple, it gives you all the info you need in a creative way.

Zone Focus- Focusing on a zone where action is likely to happen and waiting for the action to come to you. Ex: waiting near the end zone in football

Shutter Speed- High shutter speed for action and high light. Low shutter speed for panning and low light.

Panning- Following a subject with your lens to capture action when you need to use a low shutter speed. Good for low light.

Waiting for the Pause- Natural pause in the action that can be predictable or suspected after some observation. Ex: Moment after kicking, throwing, or changing directions in a sport.

This is my favorite photograph of the Long Center. It is an amazing example of a great angles and shapes. The stair case and the rails lead the eye through the photo. The combination of vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines make it more dynamic. The layered shapes and walls of the building give the photo more depth. This photo really accents and shows off the beauty of the building.

Favorite Langston Hughes Poem

Justice

That Justice is a blind goddess

Is a thing to which we black are wise:

Her bandage hides two festering sores

That once perhaps were eyes.

Favorite Portrait

Paris Fashion, 1950

This is my favorite photo by Gordon Parks. It is a very high fashion formal portrait. There are many dramatic shadows and her face captures the ligh fantastically. The photo is elegant and poised like the model.

#10 National Geographic (June 1985)Photographer Steve McCurry immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Soviet helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan. The photo became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985. Since then, this raw, untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely reproduced photos in the world.

I belive this is a very powerful photograph. The first time I saw this cover I was completely stopped by it. Everything about this photograph captures the story of this young girl from her raggedy clothes to her filthy appearance. The soft lighting adds to the bold tone colors and accent the girl terrified eyes. The photograph sends a powerful message that gives you an insight to the story of it.

Cover History

Cover types
1. Early Magazine Covers
Early magazine covers did not look the way many covers look today. They looked more like books becasue they illustrated the title and publication data. These magazine covers did not suggest what was inside. Many early magazines did not even have covers and were much like newspapers.

2. The Poster Cover
Poster covers were almost self explanatory. They were covers that looked as they could be framed and hung as posters on a wall. Many did not include cover lines and used the photoraph to set a mood or theme for the magazine.

3. Pictures Married to Type
This kind of cover used cover lines as well as cover art. The two were cleverly put together to creat a stronger sence of depth. This kind of cover gave power to cover lines and started a revolution. Cover lines could be used to attract readers in a more impacting way than single photographs.

4. In the Forest of Words
In this type of cover words are almost more important that the photograph under it. Some cover lines are actually larger than the name of tha magazine. Photographs are rarely enough to capture the attention of the reader. Photographs in this type of cover are merely a colorfull background to enhance the words and cover lines.

Portrait

This is a good photo because the soft lighting and the dramatic shadows really bring out the girl and give her a glowing essence.

I would like to emulate true emotion in my portraits. I want them to be a small glimpse into the every day life of the people i photograph.
