This photo is from my very first shoot, taken outside by the providence road entrance. This is one of my favorites because of the angle and how blue the sky is behind the free. I also like how since this was my first shoot, I didn't know anything but even with that, this photo has strong subject.
This photo was taken in the green mile for my micro skills shoot. I used the gradient and texture effects to make it look like it was fading away from the spoon a bit.
This photo is from my theme shoot, taken by the gym entrance on the providence road side of the school. This is my favorite because of how the focus is on the snow and how sharp it is - the snow looks almost fake. And I like how the background is blurred and this was way before we learned selective focus or rule of thirds.
This photo was taken under the stage in the auditorium for my angles shoot. This is absolutely my best shot in the whole shoot. I like how the furthest and closest keys are blurred while the ones in the middle are so sharp and focused on.
This photo was also taken under the stage in the auditorium but it was for my subframing shoot. Even though the shot is blurry, it's still one of my favorites for that reason. The blur adds to it.
This is the same as the photo above, only I edited it on Adobe Photoshop to make it look like it had a glitch effect of blue and red. The blur adds to that effect look, making it more realistic.
This is also for my subframing shoot but it was taken in the lunch room. I like how the seat frames Rhianna and is blurred. Her body is focused on and is the sharpest, clearest part of this photo - making it even better.
This is from my repetition shot, taken outside of the trailers. This is one of my favorites in that shoot because not only is it my best friend's dress, but the hearts are so tiny and pretty. I also like the shading in this photo because of the lighting.
This is from my hands & feet shoot, taken by the baseball field. This is my favorite out of all of my shoots because of the blur behind the net and my hand, the sharpness on what's being focused on, and how warm it is. It's also my favorite because I included many things in this shot unintentionally - rule of thirds, subframing, selective focus, and color theory (even if that's not in the same category as the other three things).
This is also from my hands & feet shoot, also taken at the same place just not with the net. This is one of my favorites because of how gloomy and dark it is while the original shot is much more bright with less contrast.
Again, this is from my hands & feet shoot taken at the same spot. It's alike the photo above this one but, instead of dark and gloomy, it's bright and colorful.
This is from my favorite place shoot, taken on the balcony outside of the library. This is my favorite from that shoot because of how the editing I did made the photo look even better. I love how the focus is on the further table and accidentally kind of the railing. I also love how the background is completely black, making the seen things pop more.
This photo is from rule of thirds and taken in the auditorium, placed on something when the play was being built. I edited it on Adobe Photoshop and made it so it's alike to an X-Ray.
