The images show a black and orange color theme capturing calm and still nighttime street scenes that cannot be seen during the day, including one image of a poor beggar child that depicts blackness and a dull life.
Dan photography cyrus-khamak
Cyrus Khamuk is known for his unique macro photography style which focuses on lighting effects and vibrant colors to highlight insect and reptile subjects. While his subject matter changed from landscapes to macro, his style of using intricate lighting techniques without photo editing software has remained consistent. He is able to capture exquisite details and compositions that draw viewers into the photos. Cyrus supports himself through commercial photography assignments and print sales. His work is inspiring and teaches the importance of seeing ordinary things from a new perspective.
Why i chose these photos
The document summarizes 5 photos the author selected from two photo shoots. Two photos are from the first shoot and three from the second. Four are black and white and one is unedited. The photos include blurred stones that look circular and abstract, a pathway highlighted by light giving a "stairway to heaven" feel, a cropped statue found hidden in a graveyard, and a burnt object that symbolizes good and evil sides. The author provides details on the photos and explains why they stood out.
Poster
The poster is designed to be A4 size to mimic billboard advertisements. The main artist, Tom Tripp, is depicted casually in baseball caps to represent his rap/hip-hop genre. Two images are used - one showing him happy but cheeky, the other more serious. Social media logos are included to expand his audience. Background colors were chosen to symbolize the album's themes of dreams and a bright future. Bright colors portray the artist as unique and optimistic rather than stereotypical. The poster aims to promote the artist through an advertising technique.
1. initial plans
The document outlines the student's initial plans for a spring season photography portfolio project. It includes a mind map and mood board analysis noting repeated colors and styles in the images collected. The mood board will influence the final product by using similar color schemes, light differences, and close-up versus landscape shot styles. The informal proposal provides more details on the concept of combining different spring photography, the types of products to be made (portfolio, calendars, cards), materials needed (camera, computer, Photoshop), and target audience. Discounted ideas of building and portrait photography are explained.

Street photography
Street photography captures candid, unposed moments occurring in public spaces. It aims to document everyday life and explore relationships between people and their surroundings. Successful street photos often capture a decisive moment, like someone jumping, to add impact.

Q7
I experimented with indoor and outdoor photo shoots to see which location produced better results. The outdoor shoots in Camden, with its graffiti walls, produced higher quality images due to better lighting. I used friends as models without props to keep the images simple. The street location reflected the hip hop genre of my magazine more clearly than the garden. I created costumes like gold chains, dungarees, and camo jackets to denote hip hop style while still appearing feminine, aiming to appeal to both genders of my target audience.

Images 2
This document discusses potential images for a music video and print productions. It analyzes several sets of beach images in terms of composition, color palette, scale, and use of foreground and background. Another set is praised for its natural sunlight, warm glow, and distinct foreground and background. The top left image is favored for its close-up shot, direct address to the camera, and minimalist style that draws attention to the woman's face in the sunlight.
Contents Page Images
The document discusses potential images to use for a contents page of a magazine. It considers several photos of a singer named Lottie, as well as photos of an indie band and a male artist. For the band image, the author feels the third photo works best, as both members are looking at the camera with attitude, portraying their serious musical style. For the male artist, the last image of Luke lying on the floor is preferred, as the concrete background gives it a rough edge fitting his rock music, and his intimidating gaze fits the stereotype of a rock artist.

Cindy Sherman Style Photoshop Changes
To create a mysterious effect, the photographer used the equalize filter to bring out darker colors, then used the posterize filter at level two. Converting a photo to black and white and adding film grain and darker tones created a dark feeling. The equalize filter brought out different tones, and the magic wand tool removed parts of a mirror to isolate the subject, with adjusted brightness and contrast adding to intrigue about the photo's context.

Rules of composition
The document provides tips for composing photographs based on established composition rules. It recommends keeping images simple with a single clear subject and uncluttered background. For proper placement of the subject, it advises following the rule of thirds by positioning the subject off-center along imaginary lines that divide the frame into thirds.

Inspiration For Photo Joinery
Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement co-founded by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso and French painter Georges Braque. They revolutionized European painting by breaking objects into geometric fragments and reassembling them from multiple perspectives. Cubist works show subjects from several different viewpoints, with surfaces intersecting at random angles to remove a coherent sense of depth. The movement spread from its origins in France between 1907-1919.

David Hockney
David Hockney used photo collage techniques known as "photo joinery" or "joiners" where he took multiple Polaroid photos of a subject from different perspectives and times and arranged them into compositions. One of his early works in this style was a photomontage portrait of his mother made from about 30 separate images. These photo collages gave a sense of movement and dimensionality like cubist works by showing the subject from various angles.
Cowes High School

Composing A Picture
The document provides tips for composing pictures, including using leading lines to draw attention to the subject, mixing portrait and landscape formats, capturing different angles and views like birds-eye and worm's-eye, having a clear point of focus to keep the photo simple and not cluttered, and following the rule of thirds by placing the subject off-center along the thirds lines to make the photo more interesting.
Analyzing My Photos
The document discusses photos that have worked well, could be improved, and one that is a disaster. Photos that worked well used lines to lead the viewer to the subject and were uncluttered. Photos that could be improved included one that was too cluttered and would benefit from cropping, one where centering the subject could be improved by moving them off center, and one where changing the angle of trees would make it more interesting. The disaster photo was unbalanced with similar colors and an odd angle that made the building look slanted.

Paul Caponigro Research
- 1. Paul Caponigro Little Bit About Him: Born in Boston in 1932. He is renowned as one of America’s most significant master photographers. When he was thirteen, he began to explore the world around him with his camera. Has a career spanning nearly fifty years. He is currently regarded as one of America’s foremost landscape photographers. He approaches nature receptively, preferring to utilize an intuitive focus rather than merely arranging or recording forms and surface details. He has exhibited and taught throughout the United States and abroad. Recipient of two Guggenheim fellowships and three National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grants. Examples of his work above and to the left. My replicas of his style. I think that they replicate his style well as they are simple, and they are close ups of the flowers and are done in black and white so it shows all the detail well.
- 2. This photo shows a simple image of a flower, its kind of a close up of the flower, its in black and white as to bring more of a simple effect I think. I think this image is about the simplicity of the world, and that there are beauties in our world that perhaps we don't appreciate unless we see it in a photograph. Also I think maybe it might mean that he’s trying to show that simple thinks can have as much of an effect as complex photos. This photo would have been quite simple to take, perhaps he might of used Photoshop to edit it, but I think this was probably done all by him, by just taking the photo. I think looking at this photo makes you feel relaxed as it’s quite calming with the fact that its black and white and that there isn't anything to really think about, it’s very simple to see what the photo is all about. Definitely going to continue exploring in his style as I think that it has real potential as there are many things that could be done with this. As there are many different types of flowers, also I could experiment with putting things in the background to bring more of a depth to the photo.
