Week 5

  
 I have decided to stay with my original concentration theme of food and its beautiful color and texture. I took photos of a variety of foods for this week with a variety of colors. I decided to go along with my original idea because of how much I enjoy color and really because the kitchen is the number one used area in my home. We are all there for many hours at a time cooking, eating, and just having fun.
    I also noticed from the pictures I took over the past five weeks, that they all have some form of geometry in them. From this weeks photos there are many spheres, sharp curves, and various angles that take place in each photo I have taken.

 

 

This week, I tired the idea of a new concentration series to see if this would be more fitting for me. I experimented with the idea of a young gymnast and how she spends many hours practicing and perfecting her flips and tricks. I also wanted to show viewers that gymnastics isn't all pretty with natural born talent, but how it is challenging yet fun for the gymnast to do her sport with her dedication to it. I experimented with different angles, point of view, and the overall idea of how I can continue and perfect this concentration series idea if I choose to continue with it.

Week 3

     This week I have been experimenting with layers and diptychs in Photo Shop. So far my concentration series is still on food and how it bring family and friends together. I am having a hard time however getting family and friends incorporated in my photos, but will keep working at it. Although I am still enjoying taking photos of food, I am debating whether or not to switch my concentration series to another idea. These are ten final photos that I will pick from and include in my concentration series if I choose to continue with my food concentration idea.
    If I do end up switching concentration ideas, I am wanting to take photos and experimenting with the idea of how challenging, time consuming, and fun it is being a young gymnast.

 

 

Week Two

This week for my concentration series I continued to work with point of view, eye level, texture, and color with food. This week I took a few more pictures with people eating because my concentration series will be on how food brings family and friends together. I think that this theme is working well for me because my family and friends LOVE all types of food. I am also enjoying the warm colors that my photos present because the food I am photographing is what I feel is comfort-food. I think it fits my concentration series because food is meant for comfort and enjoyment.
