photos from my 24 hour project

I had to fix the size of these two images for julee!







Book Critique

I really enjoyed looking at everyones book! All of the books were unique and different in their own way. I liked all of them for many reasons but if I have to pick four of my favorites they would be...

Rosilind O'Connor :
This was one of my favorite books. Her book was an E-book. She put a lot of time, effort and probably money into making this book. I really liked the large layout of the book and the cover was my favorite part! I loved the pink bike and how the image looked old looking. I really liked the depth of field in all of our photographs. The images worked very well together!


Lyssa Wilson:
I also really liked this book. It was also a well constructed E-book. The time put into this book was very evident. I really like the thought and theme of this book. It seemed very personal but the viewers of the book could also relate to most of the pictures. I really enjoyed the close up images and I liked the different layout that she used! Instead of just putting one image on each page, there were four, and they worked really well together.


Michelle Zany:
This was also one of my favorite books! It was also an E-book. I really enjoyed all of the images in this book. She captured all of Boston. The subways, the people on the street, and the thing that most amazed me was the emotions of the peoples faces. She did a really good job capturing the emotions and facial expressions. The images fit really well together and I love the black and white!


Brittany Verville:
This book was an accordion book. It was well put together and really creative. I loved the look of the book. I also liked how she used film images. (color and black and white). There were a lot of images in this book and I'm sure a lot of family memories. I think the theme and images worked well together. It will defiantly be a nice thing to have for the family!

Final Project for workshop!

I am really interested in the human body and how it ages and changes so much. I am trying to capture that through my final project. I am photographing people I have never photographed before (besides my little sister). I have four models, that are different ages. I have already photographed the 3 and 20 year old! It might evolve into more than this idea but this is where I am heading so far.

BLURB BOOK!

I am anxiously waiting for my book I made through blurb. I am really excited to get it because this is the first photo book I have made online. My book is called  "Jadeyn Belle" . It is all about my little sister. The book has close ups and some images are farther away. I hope it comes in soon!!

more of the contact sheet


For some reason this keeps happening with my contact sheets so I can't post all of my pictures on the blog.


Contact sheet for week 3- "beyond the single image"

Final images for Beyond the Single Image project!

I really enjoyed doing this project because I was out of my element and trying something new and risky for me as a photographer. I took the images in both Boston and down town Portsmouth. I was originally going to just take pictures of homeless people but I decided to add some places that you would find homeless people with different types of graffiti but not have an actual person in the image. I really like how my photos came out and I would like o maybe extend on this project. I would probably more focus on looking beyond the signs and the dirtiness of the homeless person and try to show their personality or story more. I would like to show more of a connection in my photographs with the homeless person. So maybe I would do this by getting closer up and getting to know the people.
