light photos

I observed that direct light casts a lot of shadow. I also observed that light is blocked when there is an object in the way. I struggled with finding a good source of light and finding objects that would cast a distinct shadow. I learned how to make a silhouette photo by placing the object right in front of the light. This project was somewhat difficult because most light is diffused.

These are pictures of my great grandmother and my little brother. My brother is a rambunctious and bubbly little boy that loves to pose for the camera! My grandma is 80 years old but still 20 at heart. She is the kindest person I know and has such a silly personality:) 

Web assignment #5

How would you define beauty in photography?
To me, there are a lot of different ways a photo could be beautiful. It all depends on ones idea of beauty and what they are attracted to. A beautiful photo could be anything that changes your perception of something, something that makes you feel an emotion, something that leaves you speechless, or maybe just catches & keeps your attention.

What are the characteristics of photographic beauty?
It depends on the quality of the photo, the photoshop effects the photographer chooses to use, the angle, and the subject being photographed but not always necessarily.

Can something "ugly" be photographed and still be considered beautiful?
Yes. For example, bugs are really creepy looking if you just look at them with the naked eye, but if you really took the time to get up close and creatively photograph them, you could get a really great photo.
