Semester Final Exam

1. My website - Behind the Lens
4. Favorite blog post - Assignment #1 Observing Matters of Light

    The link above will take you to my favorite blog post, this may appear odd because the majority of the people doing this assignment will post a blog in which they have images. I chose this blog not because it is my best, because it most certainly is not, but because of the value behind it and what was gained from it. I chose this post because it was the very first assignment we were assigned as a class and made me realize the huge role that light plays in the world of photography. If it weren't for this assignment I believe I would still be ignorant as to its role.

5. Favorite photo from semester - 

   This is by far one of my favorite images because it wasn't planned, we were just shooting and I just so happen to press the shutter release button as she was laughing. I also like this picture because I feel it has the ability to speak for itself and because of the clarity produced by the light that was being given off at the time. 

                                     

6. Best photos from first semester - 

                                       

I chose this picture because of the expression and the mood that this image is capable to provoke. The hair sort of works as a frame to emphasis the model's face.

I chose this picture because I chose both the image above and beneath this one, all three work to show the change in the models expressions and create a stronger image.

This image is among my top favorites, I feel like this image speaks for itself and projects the persona of whom I photographed.
