For my personal portfolio I wanted to try something new we hadn’t tried before in class but I did not have enough time to make too any new photos. The photos I made focus on the areas in photography that stood out to me as the best way I could express my artistic voice. I took macro, abstract and, my personal favorite, light pictures. For the light pictures I went in a dark room with a black backdrop and used glow sticks for the light sources. I used a long shutter speed to capture the light when I span in a circle. These techniques created some awesome pictures and I just wish I had more time to play around with light and enhance more images. Most of all I will feel like I have done my job as an artist if people are in awe at these pictures and they admire the effort and creativity put into the work.

In this photograph I am looking to evoke a sense of nostalgia and happiness in the viewer. When we are kids we pick up dandelions and blow the seeds to make a wish. I intentionally made some seeds out of focus and others in focus to create a dreamy feel to the picture. As for the technical side the background is out of focus and the green contrasts with the white seeds to attract more attention to the dandelion. The whites of the dandelion are a very natural white and the colors are vibrant. I composed it in rule of thirds and made sure no distracting debris was in my background.
