Fictional Self Portrait

Selfies

Ditch the face, and let the feet do the talking.

Crop in tight.

Rule of thirds.

Show something unique and representative of you.

Your choice, experiment with angles, light, and devices.

Questions:

1. The last one is my favourite because it shows a lot about me without my face being in it. In this shot, I set my phone on the street with a 10 second timer and went and sat at a distance from it. I think it shows an interesting angle, while showing a little bit about myself.

2. For the third and last shot, I used my phone and a timer. For the third one I also used a phone attachment on a tripod.

QUESTIONS:

1. My favourite portrait is the second one because I feel that her personality is really shown in that shot.

2. I think the easiest part of this process was taking the pictures and figuring out the perfect lighting.

3. I think the hardest part was editing her skin, eyes, and teeth because I didn't think that editing the pictures were necessary for the shots to look good at the end.

Variety

Questions:

1. My favourite image is the photo of the crayons in a pyramid showing variety because I like the way I set up the colours and how they all compliment each other while they're all very different. I also like how the background is blurred but still adds colour to the photo as well.

Photo Essay

New York City Coffeehouses

1. Dima Garvrysh went to different coffeehouses in New York to observe the different behaviors taking place within a coffeehouse.
2. He wanted to see every detail of how a coffeehouse operates, from the delivery of coffee beans to customers drinking their beverages.
3. He wanted to give a look behind the scenes of locally owned places to show where coffee is treated with care, respect, and love.
4. The images give a welcoming feel to them; opening the doors of these coffeehouses without me even being close to where they are. They give a sense of calmness with the added chaos of a packed coffeehouse, but they also give a bundle of other emotions, like loneliness, love, and happiness.
5. I think the images enhance the story because it shows more than the letters of a keyboard could ever tell. It gives a sense of being there instead of just reading about something that is taking place all the way across the country from you.
