Photo Illustration Preview

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.
