Beauty in Motion

This is the final draft of my series project. The objet of my series was to capture the beauty in motion that we sometimes are not able to capture with the naked eye. This is my final compilation of my drafts; I have taken my favorites from the two drafts of fencing and parkour (free running) and put them together. 

Series Project Draft 2

This is a continuation of draft 1. As opposed to draft 1, I do not focus on sports in this series but on other athletics and movement.

Series Project Draft 1

The object of my series project is to freeze motion in athletics. I'll be focusing mainly on sports I do myself, but I will be including various kinds of athletics.

Portraits

This assignment was about portraits, though instead of seeing the expression change within the whole face, we were encouraged to try and depict this through just the eyes.

Depth: Repetition

The goal of this assignment was to accentuate the depth of photos through repetition. By using repetition, the depth of the photo is brought out and a whole new perspective is added.

Foreground Background

In this assignment, we were challenged to focus on a subject in the foreground, without excluding the background. All these photos focus on the subject in the foreground, yet emphasis is not lost in the background.

Leading Lines

 This assignment required us to use lines to lead into the background, allowing the observer to follow the lines to create a sense of depth.

Rule of Thirds

The assignment was to portray the rule of thirds in our photos. We were to take photos that either divided the background into thirds or that placed the subject into one of the intersections of the thirds of the photo. To further understand the rule of thirds, we were also encouraged take photos that divided the background into thirds and placed the subject in the intersections of the thirds at the same time, and to apply the rule of thirds to dividing and placing in fourths. The first four shots are of division, the second four are of placement, and the last four are of either both or use of fourths.
