Principles of Design Shoot

        In this photo, there are 2 glasses sitting on the pavement. One pair is on top of the other. There is also an intersection of the cracks in the pavement. Both of which are on the same plane and are close up. They are within the rule of thirds. One pair of glasses' lens are of a different tone, more shaded than the other. I used shallow depth of field in order to create a focus on the glasses and intersection. The principal of design I tried to incorporate into this piece was line. This was attempted by using the lines of the sidewalk as well as the lines of the glasses. This image was taken outdoor. I was trying to convey the message of walking blindly. I found my piece very pleasing, however, I did not think it really conveyed my message.

PDN edu and Model release form

 Model release forms are necessary due to the Copyright Act. As long as the photo follows the first amendment  of freedom of speech and expression then it is not required to have a model release form. However there are those who recreate photos through the technology used today and sell them in masses. It would be necessary to have a model release form for certain celebrities within those photos because the photographer or seller is profiting from the faces of those celebrities.

EMPHASIS

Emphasis: One method used to attract attention in the design of a page or work of art is the use of a focal point. A focal point draws your attention to the most important element on the page. There are several techniques used to emphasize the most important object on a page.

This photo was taken outdoors by Karl Fulgencio. In this photo is Derek Ybanez walking down a small slope through some straw and trees. This photo was almost completely out of focus, almost intentionally. However Derek is supposed to be in focus. The trees created a dark shadow, where as the other half of the photo is more tinted. I think Karl was emphasizing the nature surrounding Derek or an emphasis on black and white.

I think this photo was almost a success because Karl did not intentionally make Derek blurry. However, I still like this photo, which makes it successful.

shallow depth of field

 

This photo was taking outside. There is metal railing fresh after rain. The lower body of Jenny is in the out of focus background, emphasizing the railing and its rain drops. There was the use of a filter which made the droplets too dark (accidentally). I was emphasizing nature because water droplets on a railing are always seen but never taken into consideration.
I think this piece was... okay, not necessarily a success because of the darkness of the droplets. But it was still an "acceptable" photo.
