Portraits and Landscapes

1. A Black & White Soul
2. This photo was taken in Chandler, Arizona.
3. This photo demonstrates portraits. I decided to edit this and make it monochrome because it just spoke louder that way. I think that it is so interesting that in a world full of color, the soul is black and white. I feel like you just focus on who he is as a person and not so much where he is or what he is doing.

1. Grounded
2. This photo was taken in a field in Chandler, Arizona.
3. This photo demonstrates landscape. You will probably disagree with me on this, and that's okay. With landscapes, a general rule of mine is that the eye has to have something to focus on. Whether it's a shallow depth of field or some other object to bring in the attention, it HAS to be there. Otherwise, our eyes just glide off of the photo and never rest on anything and therefore we don't really take in the photo. So I tried to have something for it to focus on. Using a deeper depth of field just made the viewer feel lost and confused. Also, I edited this by some cropping, bringing up exposure, and bringing out the blues in the sky.

1. More Than I Supposed
2. This photo was taken in a field in Chandler, Arizona.
3. This photo demonstrates landscape with a portrait. I love that the viewer's eye is able to focus on the subject while still taking in the beauty of the land at the same time. Something new that I did when editing this photo, was to add a bit of distortion to bring the viewer in with the subject. I actually kinda like how it turned out. Other edits include bringing up the exposure, adding a slight vignette, and bringing up the saturation a bit.

And uhh...if you ever need a model for a mini cooper you should get in contact with this guy:

This honestly was really fun. Especially because it was just some random guys car... XD
