Best of Color

Complimentary Colors                                                                             Cool Colors

Warm Colors                                                                                  Monochromatic Colors


In this project, we used Lightroom to edit photographs to emphasize specific aspects of color. For instance, we edited the temperature of the pictures to make them appear warmer or cooler. Lastly, we took photos that have specific color properties. In this case, we found photos that have colors that compliment each other well, as well as photos with a monochromatic color scheme.

I used Lightroom to alter the mood of the photographs. As you can see, the photo on the left is much brighter and has a much warmer connotation than the dark photo on the left.

Similar to the other photos above, I altered the mood of these photos by giving the photo on the right a darker and more spookier feel. I purposely intended for the photo on the left to be lighter and appear warmer than the photo on the right.

Framing and Composition 8 Best Photos

Description

I took each of my photos with the intention of matching a specific Framing and Composition Technique. In order from top to bottom, my photos go Bugs Eye View, Birds Eye View, Close Up, Diagonals, Filling the Frame, Leading Lines, Frame Within a Frame, and Rule of Thirds. I learned from this project, how to add value to photos, which ultimately differentiates them from others and makes them more interesting to the human eye. Lastly, I felt these 8 photos were best because I thought they each capture their specific technique incredibly well.

Contact Sheet

Description

Photographers use Contact Sheets to organize and present their images in a systematic way. They don't upload all their photos, just their best ones that capture what kind of artist they are or their specialties. Additionally, Contact Sheets are used to give the audience an idea for what they can expect from an artist's pictures. I created my contact sheet by taking anywhere between 100-150 photos. Then, I deleted the bad ones, edited the best ones, and compiled the best 40 onto one sheet of paper with each of their specific framing and composition technique.
