Emma's Photography Portfolio Semester 1
About Me
Hello, my name is Emma Sais. I am a freshman student at Rye High, I moved into the community in 2019. My favorite class for my first semester is photography. Photography has been my favorite subject because photography is a form of art that can capture a beautiful moment.
Still Life
My goal for this image was to use my creativity to emphasize the texture of the plant. The contrast between the greens of the plant and the pot gives the image a sense of unity.
Scavenger hunt
When I took this photo my goal for the image was to capture the beauty of the valley and to capture the moment. I took this image in a helicopter that I flew in for my 14th birthday. It was a very special moment and I am glas I captured it. The perspective on this image is what makes this image breathtaking.
Grand Landscape
My goal for this image was to capture the beauty of the fluffy clouds consuming the mountain peaks. The contrast of the dark landscape makes the white clouds protrude.
Zoo
The goal of this image was to capture the interesting design and texture of the geeko. The red scenery of the image made the geeko stand out, attracting the viewer's attention.
Lightroom
The original photo was of an ugly fake flower; my goal for this image was to make the flowers beautiful with the power of editing. This resulted in the image to have a dark contrast, which gave the image a dark eerie look.
Airport
When I took this image, I wanted to capture the beautiful art display. The texture in the image gave this one emotion and an interesting look. Its dark colors make the crashing plane stand out.
Shoot Like Aaron Siskind
My goal for this image was to use my creativity to make an abstract piece of art. The different textures mixed with the shining plastic bag make the image unique.
Pets
My goal for this image was to capture the cat's expression. The cat's breed gives the cat a very unique facial expression. This image is unique because the glasses on the cat make the cat look like a sharp-witted old man.
Pets
My goal for this image was to capture the chicken's texture and colors. The chicken's golden feathers make it stand out.
Shadows
My goal for this image was to capture the shadows of a heart. The second shadow of the heart makes this image eccentric.
Still Life Toy Photography
My goal for this image was to make the toy balanced. The toy's position and lighting give it a dynamic look.
Airport
My goal for this image was to capture the art of the display. The perspective of the image makes this one unique because it allows you to view the toy soldier's perspective.
Shoot Like Aaron Siskind
My goal for this image was to capture the texture and unique design of the floor.
Scavenger Hunt
My goal for this image was to capture the depth of the plants in the puddle. The water that the plants sit in give the image a beautiful glossy look.
Grand Landscape
My goal for this image was to capture the beauty of my favorite tree in front of the beautiful sky. The clouds swoop out of the tree, giving it a beautiful look. This image gives the emotion of serenity.
Lighting
My goal for this image was to capture the suns glow in the American flag. The scenery of the vegitation in the background makes the flag pop.
My Photography Class
At the beginning of this semester, I didn't know the importance of photography. As I learned more about the subject, I learned that photography is art. My favorite assignment in photography has been our zoo project. Taking pictures at the Zoo was a difficult challenge because of all of the Zoo's visitors, but I was able to manage. I enjoyed taking pictures of the animals and their unique appearances.
