Final triptych

Set 1 picture

I think this work better on the set 2 pictures and same I really liked the middle one, and the first one and the thrid one worked well, these are different photo beside the plant it just look similar.

Set 2 picture

 

I think these three picture does work in a team, but in total did not work perfectly they did work in a triptych, and I really liked the middle picture, but it just did not kind of work in this triptych.

final evaluation

I am hoping to create a good abstraction photo and some photo that looks really cool; in the middle image, it did work, and the first photo kind of worked, but the last shot did not really work for set 1. For set 2, the best picture will be exact, the middle one, and the other two did not look really good. I think, in total, it was a success because I did take some excellent photos; you could see that it worked, and it looks really cool. I think Aaron Siskind really inspired me because his style was really cool. I used his technique to get the middle photo. I believe, in total, I did not do very successfully because I’m new to this school and don’t know how these websites work, but I now know how to use these websites and what criteria are doing, and that was my improvement. I think my photo was not as good as others, but I did try to get some good images. I want the viewer to know that a good photo is a photo that you took by accident or randomly because these are my best photos. The two in the middle of this picture were only taken by me in about five seconds, but they looked perfect. If I had more time, I would take more photos because most of my photos do not look good; if there was more time, I could get more good images for my blog and evaluate my final triptych.

 

 

 

extra triptych

these were my extra triptych I did this because I think these fit well and it fit better than my set 2 and set 1 triptych, but I put this in extra triptych is because these were from my set one and set two pictures, but in total it really fit in my triptych and an other reason was I think these picture are not really good compare on the set 1 set 2 middle picture, and these level are really similar, so I added an extra triptych.

 

contact sheet set 2-Andre Kertesz

Andre Kertesz

Andre Kertesz, born on July 2, 1894, was a famous photographer from Hungary, he was known as a Hungarian-born American photographer, and he was famous for the “lyrical and formally rigorous picture everyday life”, and he looked more and more good photography, and let the world to see this talent in photography.

why did I choose him?

I chose him because I really like the style of Andre Kertesz, and he has good photography, and the best photograph from him was a fork on a plate, it really shocked me.

evaluate red

 

 

I think in total this picture does not look really good because when I was taking this picture I did not really think much about this, and I tried to follow the picture that has a fork and a plate and was made by Andre Kertesz, but it seems I fail, I put this in red was because even though it does not look good, but in all of my photo it was really good, and I think I could evaluate this by making my angle of my phone in a same highest with the spoon and plate, this could make this picture see more high-level, and I could use a camera, to make this more abstract, because I did not have a camera, so even I tried to make this more abstract but it did not really work on most of my picture.

 

 

 

evaluate the photographer’s red

I think in total this picture was perfect, because the shadows of the plate and the fork were perfect, and this makes this picture much better, and the light was used very well. I think the place that Andre Kertesz could improve on was just adding some kind of texture with this picture because it looks too simple without a good texture.

 

extra red

this one was one of my extra reds because it did not have shadow so I did not put it in my contact sheet, but it looks really good, and it used a really good abstract, but this photo did not really match any of my two photographers vision, so I put this photo in my extra red.

 

contact sheet set 1-Aaron Siskind

Aaron Siskind

Aaron Siskind was a very famous photographer he did many kinds of jobs but the job that made him famous was being a photographer, he made innovations to a style called abstract in photography and made many kinds of this style of photos, and this made him famous.

 

why did I choose him

in my mind map, i found some photos, but the best photo that inspired me was a photo with a shadow, and I searched up, and it poped out the name of Aaron Siskind, and i tried to find information about him, and I found out that he did many good photography, so I choose him.

Evaluate

 

I think in total this photo was the best photo of my 200 photos, the way that I could evaluate this could be by making the side more blurry and having the plant clearer, but this was not the style my photographer used, so I did not do it in this photo, and another way to evaluate this could be adding a better filter, and I think that this could be more on an Aaron Siskind style because in someway it was more like a natural style, it is like a half natural style half abstract, so it is half Aaron Siskind style, so we could evaluate on these points.

Winter light and shadows

The message I’m trying to show in my triptych is that using shadows and light could make winter better and express the features of winter. I want my audience to feel the uniqueness of winter to another season, making winter have its own characteristics/features, and make it look more beautiful. For inspiration, I’m going to find some photographers who really used to use winter as a background and make good photos using light and shadows. Overall, I think winter is a very good season and a good topic for photography.

not balance.JPG

This photo did not have a balance on the shape of this paint, but I liked it because even though it does not have a good pattern, it still has very good color and light, and the angle of photoing gives some mystery to this paint

did not divide the photo into three.

This photo had two main things, and this photo was not divided into three, but I liked this photo because it turns into two sides, and there is a line in the middle of these two horses, which makes it feel like a world in a mirror.

 

did not have light

This photo broke the rule of using good light, and I think this photo is okay because first, this photo had a perfect pattern, and it rhyme, and the color looks good and the shape looks good too.

 

did not use good light

This photo breaks the rule of not using good light, but it looks good because this triangle turns into three-part, and the middle of the triangle separates the two triangles side by side.

 

do not have light.JPG

Even though this photo did not use good light, it still looks good, It is like a mysterious place with many plants, which helps this picture seem more mysterious and looks better, and the angle of the image is good. It makes you think that you are in this place, or a first-person perspective.

 

it’s not really clear and really blury

The rule this photo broke was the image is not clear, but it is not blurry. I think this is the best picture in all of the 20 views because the light looks like an angel or the god spray light on the railing and gives out the hope of this regular railing, and with the back of the fence knows that you are you, not other.

no pattern.JPG

In this photo, there was no pattern, but I liked it because this photo has a small tree but does not really like a tree, and it looks perfect, and the color of the tree looks good, too.

not have good light

This picture did not use good light it, but it looks still good because first it had three main things the two dragons and the ISB in the middle, and when it did not add light the dragon looked better.

do not have clear background

This photo breaks the rule of not having a transparent background, but this photo looks good, I think it is because first, the angle was good. It turned 90 degrees, and this helps this picture look more good.

not frame with frame.

this picture did not use the rule frame on frame, but it still looks good because it looks like a moon on the air, and the only thing that is lighting, and it looks really creative.

 

 

-Yes, I can take a wrong photo, because we could find rule on Padlet, and you can just find things that are breaking the rule, and it is a wrong photo

 

-the context is important to the photo because it will make the photo have some different effect, and if you did not have a good context, then you will not have the special effect, like the Wrong picture, this picture had a good context on a man standing on a beach, and two houses behind him, and the picture is black and white, and it will make other to think this guy is so lonely, so in some perspective, a context is the most important part in a photo.

 

-The word wrong does make a difference, because every time you think wrong this word you think it makes something bad, but in photography, maybe wrong could make a picture more beautiful.

the international movement was known as pictorialism, it represents two creative photographs and many principles for photography. pictorialism thinks that photography needs to be understood as a machine/tool to express personal expression, and photography could express which kind of people you are, for a example when you take a picture that looks kind of creepy you have more chance of being a person had a really frustrated feeling in your mind.

about the straight photographic techniques, it is mostly used in creating a highlight with many details, and technical images about the real world, and for some example a straight photographic technical might be a thing in the middle and many detail background around the main thing.
