I created this from two different photographs that I took in Chicago a couple weeks ago. I thought that the rim of the basket looked like a winding road, so I put a little man on it. Also, the sidewalk in the background appears closer than it truly is, so it almost looks like he could easily walk off of the basket and on to the sidewalk.
This photograph is actually my favourite photograph that I have taken thus far. I took this photograph of my little sister, Sarah, in Honolulu. The placement and repetition of the black poles in the background creates rhythm in the photograph’s composition and makes the photograph aesthetically pleasing. None of the black poles are the same size either, this creates an irking interest. A similar pattern occurs in the foreground of the photograph; Sarah’s stripped shirt provides perpendicular horitontal black lines to contrast the vertical ones behind. What I enjoy about this photograph is that although all of these geometric factors are present, the slight tilt of Sarah’s head ties everything together, to not appear too boxy.
I took this photograph of my friend, Shivani, the day we got home from a long vacation in Hawaii. We were exhausted from the eight-hour flight but we were very happy to be home. This photograph was composed to appear dramatic due to the tension created by being so near to Shivani’s face. We are close enough to read each and every emotion she is going through by noticing the slight curve of her brow and the softness in her eyes. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that she’s super adorable either! Haha. On a more serious note, though, her important facial features fall on the line of Phi, which occurs frequently in nature and it’s ratio is recognized by to be pleasing; allowing this photograph’s aesthetic to be nice to look at.
In this photo, there’s a girl. It seems like she’s looking for hope because she is looking up to the sky.
