First Portrait Assignment.

       My subject was John Moore and I took pictures of him in front of a gate. Even though we took pictures in two different days and in two different areas I strongly felt satisfied by having a metal background, leading me to choose 5 pictures of that same day. I accomplished my goal of trying to make the subject forget about the camera and capture a unique picture by acting normal as if a camera didn't stand between us. I constantly maintained a descent conversation with him and pointed out things around us so he won't be focused and locked directly at the lens of the camera. This would describe all the different actions John is pictured in and in some of them jokes made him smile realistically and vividly.

   These were the other Subjects that I photographed.

"My First Photo Outing - Principles of Design"

The Principle of Design that our group had was Pattern. Our adventure throughout the school quad led me to my destination of a trash bin that contained a dotted pattern throughout the casing. It shows a repetition of dots vertically and horizontally depending on what point of view it is seen in. This dotted pattern is important in the sense of "first impression" because it transforms the dull ,unattractive trash bin into something with more work put into it, rather than having a regular trash bin with no design. Ultimately, the pattern is evident due to the numerous amount of dots in a series that are pierced in the metal casing of the trash bin.
