Still Life
Still Life Artist Statement
I took pictures of the same bobble heads that I photographed individually for objects but set them up in my room how the usually are all together. So, that makes it now a still life. I took a multiple pictures of the set up legos in my little brothers room. When I say little I don't mean like 5 or 6. He's in the 8th grade at forsythe and is 13, he just has some cool legos. Then the two New York objects that my cousin got for me when he went there one time. I put them together and with a hockey puck and hockey piggy-bank. The last in is just only some of our accumulated trophies from all over the years. There are so many those are my little brothers and that was only about half of his.

One person I photographed multiple times was my little brother Isaac. He’s not really little but technically my younger brother, he’s in eighth grade and he just turned thirteen. We are really close, I also have an older brother who is a junior and goes to skyline. But me and my little brother are way closer than most sibling. We do all the fighting and wrestling but we hang out all the time and are nice to each other that people think we’re friends not brothers because we actually like each other and are so nice to each other.
That photo was just taken in our backyard. It kind of has the woods outdoor feel but at the same time not because of the gate in the backround. The gate isn’t distracting or taking away from the actual picture or anything though.
This wasn’t really a challenge but this was a challenge for all my other photos was the lighting. The photo I am explaining was in natural light, but a lot of my other photos were inside. They don’t really have that yellow tint you warned us about but it just always impacts the angel. Outside the lighting is always above, but inside the lighting might be to the left, or above and to the right, or backlit. Which aren’t problems usually faced with natural light.

Objects
Objects Artist Statement
I have five redwings bobble heads and I put them on a table right next to the wall. It was inside but it was in the middle of the say so the whole house was naturally lit. I put two pieces of paper on the table and experimented with different angles. The struggles was there was a window right next to the back of the table of where I was shooting so there was a mediocore backlight. It caused there to be a slight shadow on the face, but the rest of the room was naturally lit as well so. Just enhancing and playing with some of the settings lightened it up. The jerseys were red so increasing warm colors a little gives the illusion of better lighting. I played a little bit with the angles of the bobbleheads and the angle of the camera also. In other words, turing the bobble head slightly left or right, then taking the picture from slightly above or below.

Red Green Tree
On the way to skyline in between skyline and the park, there was this cool tree that was green one one side and red on the other. Turning up the contrast really made them different colored leaves pop out. The difficulties were the telephone wires so I had to try to avoid them by taking them on an angle going upwards so the wires were below the shot.
Sun Contrast
Entering from crossing the highway there is a bridge area that I walk on everyday. I went to that bridge area and dipped back into the woods area. There was a hole in the tree letting the sun shine through and made it bright and shiny. It’s almost like that one landscape photographer you showed us that took all the cool pictures with the light shining though into the tree’s.
Skyline Pond
There is are two ponds by the highway side of skyine. I got good pictures of both of them. But one of them I went right up to and stood on the rock pile and got some good reflections and other cool things. The problems of this photo were the houses and telephone wires and the street/highway area in the back. I pretty much just cropped that out.

Architecture
Architecture Artist Statement
When I had to reshoot I went all over downtown at like t nine in the morning with my mom. We went to this one really cool church downtown and I got a lot of cool pictures from there. The first picture of the glass building that kind of looks similar to skyline is just office space but it's down by the train station center place. The brick building that wasn't the church was a restaurant right down the street from the train and glass building. Then the last one is Gabriel Richard which is very close to the church I photographed.

Final Image
Artist Statement:
I did a mask on this red and blue bird house picture. If this looks familiar I haven't used it before. I took this for my first attempt at architecture. You said I had to re-shoot but to keep all of these photos because I may use them for something eventually. This is when I used it. I did a mask and brought out the blue and red. The background black and white. Then went to filter- filter gallery- artistic- plastic wrap. I think it's a really cool filter so.

Final Project
Photographer: Tim Clayton
He was born in the 1960's and he is still alive now.
He has been assigned 8 Olympic games, 5 Rugby World Cups, and the FIFA World Cup. He currently lives in NY and his work is represented by Corbis. He trained at Yorkshire Post Newspapers in Leeds, UK. He was also born in Leeds.
He is a sports photographer and photographs all types of sports. He takes mid action pictures when moments are most tense and also pictures before something big happens.
In 1990 he moved to Australia and thats when he took the position as a sports photographer. His drive was social. He did sports photography because he was better at it then the other types of photography.
He has influenced my work because hockey is a less common sport so finding people who take good sports photographs inspires me. He takes pictures of hockey like he played it as a kid because he knows when to take the pictures.
His images are obviously better being that he is a professional and has professional resources. I go to my little brothers games and take pictures with my iPhone. I did a goalie type picture like him. A lineup picture like him. But the picture all the way to the right of his I couldn't get now like that. When ever I tried to get a picture of someone moving like that they were always super blurry. So I just put the random picture of them around the net.
