artist statement

This semester I have learned many things in Photography, From camera tricks to Photoshop skills. Before taking this class I never would of figured the whole meaning of a picture there is actually more to it. Some vocabulary was the rule of thirds, three C‘s, balance, contrast, f stop, Iso, shutter speed, and so much way more. I cant forget that we also learned about great artist that im sure half of us had never even heard of such as Cindy Sherman, Frida, Gaudi, Sandy scrubland, Andy Glowsworthy and many many more as well. Not to forget that my photo taking skills have grown with in time most of these things we learned was to make us better photographers with good knowledge of artist and the tools we used. Over all this class was very interesting and fun.
Below you will be able to view some of my last semester work and most that was done this semester. I believe that u are able to see the difference between both. At the very bottom of my portfolio I have pictures of last semester which includes scary, meaningful, and experimental pictures. Most of these were photoshoped and non original. After that I have my favorite one from last semester which was my portfolios cover. Later I have pictures of an egg a rare object and me in a frame. These were more original because there was hardly any photoshoping involved. In these there was of the trick of the own camera. Then I have the new photo tricks we learned were we get to make a picture that looks aged and then we get to create our program covers which is fun because they were all submitted for a chance to be published. I also have pictures were we crate shadows and metaphors, these were the pictures that used the new Photoshop tricks we learned. After that comes the camera tricks which involve no Photoshop what so ever and its pretty cool. They are the ones with the iso, light metering, and shutter speed . Last my final I had to take four portrait, this was difficult because I have not done nothing like this before.
Over all I was some what happy with my portfolio I loved the idea that we had them in the interned because it was a creative way to keep our work. I think I struggled to keep up at the end maybe because im a senior and it was harder to stay on point with everything, my work also seemed to not be as good as when the semester first started. Although im happy with it because everything was new to me and I don’t think il ever forget it. Now I know there is still a lot to learn and in the future it would be fun to take another photo class and finish what Ms. Cook started a madness of art.
