1st Semester Mini Portfolio

For our 1st Semester final we had to produce a 19 picture mini portfolio.

They had specific genres and criteria for the final pictures.

Here is my documentary series depicting "A long distance relationship":

Next was three pictures of an event, these are friends of mine that just got engaged.

These are for photojournalism, two news shots and two sport shots.

And finally two portraits, at least one had to be of someone you didn't know.

And with that I'm done with my first semester at Polytech. :)

So it's been awhile since I've been here, the last couple weeks have been rather busy and I finally have a moment to edit pictures.

We had to make an idealistic self-portrait, here were some of my second choices:

Week 4

Our first task this week was learning light metering and how to control shadows. Part of it was learning silhouettes and low/high key images. 

Our next task was 6 pictures on one angle of Modernism, I chose New Vision. New Vision is essentially experimenting with new angles and perspectives. 

I can't at this moment find the 6th picture that I used for the assignment, so for now I will just stick with this. 

See you next week :)

Easter break and week 3

So our Easter break assignment was six pictures that describe us/explain our lives. So here are my 6:

Ballroom/Salsa dancing

Quality time with family

Adventures with friends

Worship at church/Music

Tennis

This water is me! Calm, peaceful and still, while still being crazy and adventurous!

That is my life in a very small nutshell!
