David Hockney Inspired Collage
David Hockney was born in Bradford, England in 1937. Hockney use to paint and know he does what he calls "joiners", which is just collages. In 2011 he was voted the most influential British artist of the 20th century. He does his work in LA. He would paint his famous swimming pool paintings. I think Hockneys art emulates his style because he looks spunky and like he would make unusual art. I made this artwork by just going to the duck pond and taking pictures of what I thought would be cool and easy when I make the collage in photoshop. I made these by taking multiple photos of basically the same thing. Then when I went into photoshop i just took the different images and made a couple layers and then merged the layers. When I finished I got those results.
Magazine Cover
I chose this type of magazine because its a very well known industry and I just always liked the people they put on the cover and how they took the photo. What I did to emulate this magazine cover style was just look up the Rolling Stones heading, then I just looked up some headlines that they used and took some of those and put them on my magazine cover. I did not use my own font or coloring because I did not want to mess anything up. My setup for the photo was in my classroom with a grey background and myself sitting on a stool. A strobe light is a light that sets of a really fast flash. (i think). A soft box is a big light that gives warm lighting for good, almost flawless photos. A reflector is a big circular thing that, with the right angle, reflects light onto the person to make it better. A grey card is to help get the match for the background and look better. Lastly a radio trigger system is something that i forgot. I guessed on all of these.

This image is just simply called plant, it does not need a special name when
its just an image of a plant. This image was taken at my school and its obviously a
photo of a palm tree. The compositional rule that was used was line, for obvious
reasons, your eye follows the line of the plant. The camera that I had used to take
this photo was the Nikon D5300 with a 18- 140mm lens.
My photo is in the color division because of the bright green color and the sun
shining on the plant so you can see the water droplets. There is just nice coloring in
the image. The image was also printed on Epson Glossy Photo Paper on the Epson
P800 digital printer.

Welcome to Jamrock
Welcome to Jamrock, camp whe' da' thugs dem camp at
Two pounds a weed inna van back
It inna your hand bag, your knapsack, it inna your back pack
The smell a give yah girlfriend contact
Some boy noy notice, dem only come around like tourist
On the beach with a few club sodas
Bedtime stories, and pose like dem name Chuck Norris
And don't know the real hardcore
Cause Sandals a no 'back-to', da thugs Dem wi do whe' dem got to
And won't think twice to shot you
Don't make dem spot you, unless you carry guns a lot too
A bare tuff thing come at you
When Trenchtown man stop laugh and block-off traffic
Then them wheel and pop off and dem start clap it
With the pin file dung and it a beat drop it
Police come inna jeep and them cant stop it
Some say them a playboy, a playboy rabbit
Funnyman a get dropped like a bad habit
So nobody pose tuff if you don't have it
Rastafari stands alone!
[Chorus]
Welcome to Jamrock, Welcome to Jamrock
Out in the streets, they call it murder!
[Verse 2]
Welcome to Jamdown, poor people a dead at random
Political violence, can't done! Pure ghost and phantom, the youth

Now the Kings Of Kings a call
Old man to Pickney, so wave unno hand if you with me
To see the sufferation sicken me
Them suit no fit me, to win election dem trick we
Den dem don't do nuttin at all
Come on let's face it, a ghetto education's basic
A most a the youths them waste it
And when dem waste it, dat's when dem take da guns and replace it
Then them don't stand a chance at all
And dat's why a nuff little youth have up some fat matic
With the extra magazine inna them back pocket
And a bleach a night time inna some black jacket
All who not lock glocks, dem a lock rocket
Then will full you up a current like a short circuit
Dem a run a roadblock which part thr cops block it
And from now till a mornin not stop clock it
If the run outta rounds a brought back ratchet

Steps in Photoshop
-took photos from google and used a layer mask to make the gun guy and other cops to look like they go together
-took a picture of brian and made a layer mask and photoshopped him onto a Jamaican beach that i got from google.
-i took the two separate photos and then photoshopped them together as one whole picture but make it seem like two.

Tessellations
1) What does tessellations mean to me?
-Tessellations to me means that you are just taking one part of a picture and merging the same part of the picture all together and it makes a cool mandala thing.
2) Steps in making my tessellations
-take a picture of something
-go onto photoshop and make a template
use ruler to make the lines to put the picture together
-crop a piece of the photo that you cropped and then click the "check" mark
-move the photo to the template
-jujst put the pictures together
-when done you merge the photos and its all done!
3) What did i like about this? What was my favorite image?
-I liked seeing the outcome of all the tessellations, they turned out pretty cool. My favorite picture is the one with the red berries, it looks pretty cool.
4) What did i struggle with?
-I think i struggled with trying to crop the picture perfect so that it does not mess up my tessellation.
5) If i had to do it over again, what would i do differently?
- I would definitely make sure that there is no white line before merging my pictures together :/

Questions;
1)What i learned about portraiture from going to the duck pond is there were a lot of cool backgrounds and good lighting.
2)What we used to decide on what poses we were going to do was on a piece of paper(shot list). We also made our own poses and the shot list was kinda helpful.
3) The only side of the reflector we used was the golden side, it was the best side. The reflector helped a lot, made us look BOMB.
4)I just fixed the brightness and vibrance. I didn't retouch much, wanted it to look natural i guess.
5) Some positions that use portrait photography is portrait photographers. People who want portraits taken hire them. The average salary is $30,933. The average charge is $20-30.

Questions:
1) What i brought for food is hot cheeto puffs, and the props i used to make it special was a cloth to put on the bottom and a salsa bowl to put the cheetos in.
2)What i learned is that they don't actually use milk for cereal, its glue. I also learned that the background is a key element. They use oil for syrup for taking pictures of pancakes or waffles etc.
3)I tried to take the picture close to the food to where the food looks clear but the background is blurry.
4)I learned that you have to have a good position to make the food look good. I did not really learn that much honestly. It was simple.
5)Food companies most likely take pictures of their food. Like Burger King or McDonalds.
6)I think i got the up close photos pretty well. I don't think i will take picture of my food again. Food was meant to be eaten, not take to take pictures of it.

Rainy Day
Layer Mask
In 10 years...
In 10 years i assume that i will be an archaeologist and travel the world to dig up ancient human bodies and other random stuff. An archaeologist is the study of the ancient and recent human past through material remains. It is a subfield of anthropology, the study of all human culture. From million-year-old fossilized remains of our earliest human ancestors in Africa, to 20th century buildings in present-day New York City, archaeology analyzes the physical remains of the past in pursuit of a broad and comprehensive understanding of human culture. So i would assume that the ideal day in my life in 10 years would just be me waking up in maybe Egypt for example, getting ready, then go outside to excavate human remains and most likely other ancient artifacts.
Celebrity
Step-by-step for photoshop
1) I grabbed 2 images from my desktop and put them in photoshop.
2) I fixed up the image size for both photos so they aren't all blurry
3) i dragged the photo of my face to the other photo
4) i lassoed my fae and dragged it to the other images face
5) Next i just fixed up the face and skin color so it kinda blends in.
6) i saved the image and thats pretty much it.

So the celebrity that i chose to put my face on is Evangeline Lily, she plays in the TV show Lost. It was very hard to make the skin tone match so i did the best i could and it still kinda sucks but its okay. I kinda just picked a random celebrity. IT honestly just looks like i put a sticker of my face on her face.

My Presentation for the Artist Trey Ratcliff
A little slideshow of some of my pictures:
Super Moon
To Photograph the Super Moon
To photograph the moon:
1. Use a tripod! A flat surface will only allow you to shoot straight, and shooting the moon means that you'll be shooting up and constantly re-adjusting the tripod as the moon moves throughout the night.
2. Use a shutter release cord, remote or the camera's self timer if you don't have one, so that you don't move the camera when pressing the shutter release during a long exposure.
3. Use a zoom lens and zoom in as much as you can to the moon. It's okay if it's not a super fancy lens, this was shot using a 15 year old $100 lens. Focus in on the craters and details on the moon.
4. ISO 1250- 1600, so that you can use as fast a shutter speed as you can without losing detail-the longer the shutter speed, the more chances you have the camera will shake even slightly in the wind, resulting in an out of focus photograph.
5. Aperture priority of f/5.6 since you are not worried about capturing any details other then the moon.
6. Bracket your exposure, meaning over expose and underexpose the photograph from what the camera is telling you. Generally the camera will overexpose the moon, so you'll get nothing but a white blob in the sky. Use the exposure compensation button (the +/- button below the shutter release) and change the exposure to -0.5, then -1.0, then -1.5 and so on, until you start seeing detail in the moon. You may go as far as -5.0 exposure compensation to get what you need.
7. Take a fair amount of photos and keep refocusing as the night progresses. The photographs may look focused on the camera's display, but you won't really see if they're completely in focus until you upload them onto your computer screen.

ISO 400, aperture f/8, shutter speed 1/125
Principles of Art
Balance; aperture f/8; ISO 2500; shutter speed 1/1000
This photo represents balance and its just a picture of a table and on the other side is 3 girls to balance the photo. Because of the angle that the bench is at, it looks wide because of the seats sticking out, so i had to use 3 people instead of just 2 to balance out the photo and make it look like the same width. Obviously I'm going to say this photo is successful because its clear and I'm pretty sure it represents balance.
Proportion; aperture f/8; ISO 3200;shutter speed 1/500
This is obviously a photo of one small man hole and one big man hole. This represents proportion because of the ratio big and small. Its successful because again, its clear and represents proportion.
Rhythm ; aperture f/8; ISO 2200; shutter speed 1/1000
Obviously this is a picture of cars on a road. It represents rhythm because of the movement and even though it a picture you can tell they were moving. This is a successful photo because it represents rhythm and it just came out good.
Emphasis; aperture f/8; ISO 900; shutter speed 1/1000
This is a photo of a bright pair of orange shoes in a tree, which represents emphasis. This represents emphasis because when you look at this the first thing you see is the bright pair of shoes. Its a good photo for emphasis. Its successful because its just good picture and its a good representation of emphasis.
Harmony; aperture f/8; ISO 900; shutter speed 1/1000
This is a picture of some trees and the sky. This is supposed to represent harmony, it would have been better if i took a picture of a sunset. The principle harmony is shown in this picture of the sky and the trees. They just look soft. This is a successful picture because i successfully represented harmony.
Variety; aperture f/8; ISO 720; shutter speed 1/1000
This is a picture of a kid playing with a volleyball as if it were a basketball. It represents variety, variety is something you don't really see everyday, and you don't really see a person using a volleyball as a basketball. This is a successful photo because i took the picture in the right moment to where it actually looks like he's doing a basketball move with a volleyball. I also think i represented variety well.
Unity; aperture f/8; ISO 3200; shutter speed 1/640
This one was probably the most difficult because it hard to do unity. This is just a picture of a girl standing with pink flowers and she is supposed to kind of blend in with the painting because she is wearing blue and pink and the painting does have blue and pink. This is not that much of a successful photo because she does not really blend in with the painting but it was the closest thing she does blend in with.
Elements of Art
Line; aperture f/8; ISO 3200; shutter speed 1/400
This is a photo of a bench and it represents line because of the straight line it has on the edge. I think this is successful because it does represent line and it is a pretty clear image.
Color; aperture f/8; ISO 3200; shutter speed 1/800
This is a photo of a wall that is obvious;y painted with spesific colors such as blues and whites and yellows. This represents color because obviously it is a color painting/photo. This is a successful photo because it is clear and represents color.
Shape; aperture f/8; ISO 2200; shutter speed 1/1000
This is a photo that i took and that i used for the element shape. There are lots of little different shapes in this mosaic (obviously) such as triangles,rectangles, etc. This is a successful photo because it does represent the element shape.
Form; aperture f/8; ISO 900; shutter speed 1/1000
This photo represents form, its a photo of the patch and its just a picture of the wood bar things and just kinda going to a vanishing point. The element is in this by one wood bar really close to the camera and the other little bars in the distance and everything else getting smaller. I don't know how to explain it but it is a photo of form. I was a successful photo because it just came out really good and to my opinion it does represent form.
Texture; aperture f/8; ISO 3200; shutter speed 1/800
This is obviously a photo of a chain and some parts of a fence/gate. This represents texture because if you look at the photo you kinda of have an idea of what the chain and gat would feel like. Kind of rough and grainy like because its a little rusty. This is a successful picture because it came out clear and you it does represent texture because you do have an idea of what it would feel like.
Space; aperture f/8; ISO 500; shutter speed 1/1000
This is a picture of cones and just a lot of empty space surrounded by the cones and this picture would represent space. It represents space because of how there is one or more things in the middle of the photo and it is just in empty space. This is a successful picture because it just represents space pretty well in my opinion.
Value; aperture f/8; ISO 400; shutter speed 1/1000
All the photos are pretty self-explanatory so i don't really have to explain this because its just a palm tree shadow. This photo represents value because of the shading, the light and dark. This photo is successful because of the clearness of the picture and again, it represents value.

Shutter Speed 1/500, ISO 1600, aperture f/4.2
Shutter Speed 1/500, ISO 1600, aperture f/4.2
1) How I took the photo
I took the photo using the shutter priority mode, hence "fast shutter speed" and just took the pictures right as they are in action.
2) Any troubles
I did not really have any troubles, except for the lighting and sometimes it would not take the picture. All I had to do was move so i can get the right lighting and just press harder on the button to take the picture with so i can take the picture. There was not anything real difficult.
3) Top 3 things I learned about fast shutter speed.
1-takes a quick shot
2-gets it in the perfect moment
3-makes moving things look really cool when stopped in mid air
4) What other things can you use fast shutter speed for
Well, you can use it for anything in motion. Water, cars, animals, people, bubbles, anything really.

Respect
RESPECT
The image that I am showing to you is a symbol of respect. This image is showing a girl sitting on top of a field goal post holding a red ribbon while looking out onto the football field. This type of respect is respecting your school. You want to respect your school because that’s where you are at most of the day and you want to make sure that the campus looks nice and is respected.
School is like a second home, would you just throw trash on the ground and write all over your walls? No, so why would you treat your school like that? The point is, treat your school as if its your home, respect it, keep it looking nice. RESPECT.

1) How i took the photos
I took these photos with a tripod and in a dark room. We used glowsticks and an app on our phones called "LightPainting". In Manual mode with manual focus and i just had my partner make different shapes and try to spell things like "Love".
2) Any troubles
Yes i had troubles with trying to make the pictures come out brighter and more in focus. Some of the pictures turned out very well but it was still difficult to make them more focused.
3) What did i learn
Well i learned that it is pretty difficult to take the picture at the right time so you can see what they spell out or what they draw. Its also difficult to make the picture look focused and also to go the right speed when you are drawing something with your glow stick or light app. You can either go to fast or to slow.
4) Other ideas with light painting
Instead of just making words with glow sticks or apps, you can also sparklers or make big giant drawings like making wings or dragon or something. You just need to know how to do it.

Shutter Speed
Shutter Speed 1/3, aperture f/16, ISO 200
Shutter speed 1/30, aperture f/13, ISO 200
Shutter Speed 1/60, aperture f/8, ISO 200
Shutter Speed 1/250, aperture f/4, ISO 200
Shutter Speed 1/1000, aperture f/2, ISO 200
1) I changed the shutter priority by just turning the dial that in the left side of the camera to "S".
2) Well all the pictures look the same except when the shutter speed is at 1/3. The picture tends to be very bright and is fast motion so everyone is all blurry, none is in focus really.
3) I think you would want to use shutter speed as priority for this certain type of picture because it seems to take the picture clear as you are in motion and it takes it perfectly as you are in the air.

4) Shutter Speed
- Shutter speed are both the technical and aesthetic choice a photographer needs to make before releasing the shutter.
- The shutter inside your camera controls the duration of time the sensor is exposed to light.
- Capturing blur or motion in your photograph can emphasize movement and add drama.
- A fast shutter speed is often utilized to freeze the movement of a subject.
- A slower shutter speed can be used to show motion and visualize movement.
- Shutter speeds are expressed as seconds of fractions of seconds
- As a general rule to prevent unintentional camera shake you should avoid handholding your digital cameras at shutter speeds slower than 1/2x focal length
- Using a tripod can help eliminate camera shake when using slower shutter speeds.
- The visual blur and suggestion of movement occurs because the subject is moving against a static background.
- Layering motion of different subjects moving different directions at different speeds can set up interesting dynamics within a photograph.
- Fast shutter speeds can make normal subjects appear to freeze in the air.
- When photographing people running close to the camera a shutter speed of 1/1000 second or faster should freeze most motion.
- The distance the subject is from the camera, the speed of the subject, and the focal length of the lens will affect weather the subject is sharp or blurred.
- Slower shutter speeds can convey the idea of motion and movement.
- Slow shutter speeds combined with panning can isolate the subject from a busy and distracting background.
- A tripod combined with a long exposure can help capture the fireworks trails.
- Water movement can be emphasized with long exposure. 6 sec @ f/16
Daguerreotype and Cyanotype
The invented of the daguerrotype is Louis Daguerre who discovered this process in 1839.
This is the process- Get copper coated with silver and polish very well to get a yellowish color; Then place the plate into a camera obscure (or just camera). When you take it out it should still look the same, that yellowish polish. Then you want to put it in a different box with a little container of mercury; heat it; take it out of the box and then you have your image. Make sure to place it in a special plate with NO air.

This is an example of a daguerreotype
Next is the cyanotype,
This was created by Sir John Herchel and discovered around the time after the daguerrotype was created, I'm guessing the 1840's.
This is the process- Take potassium ferrocyanide and Ferric ammonium citrate; combine them and it produces a compound that you brush on paper and allow it to dry; put it in contact with the sun it will turn colors; then lastly put it in water and it will turn blue and you got your picture.

The Kidnapping
"Asking Mom" - ISO 200, aperture f/1.8, shutter speed 1/4,000
One sunny saturday afternoon a child asked his mother if he can go play outside in the front yard. The mother was contemplating weather he should stay inside and play with toys or just let him play in the front yard. She eventually said yes, he just had to be home in time for dinner or he was grounded.

"No Response"- ISO 400, aperture f/8, shutter speed 1/1600
When it came to dinner time, the mother went out on the porch and called for her son but there was no answer. She said, " if you don't come inside the house right now you are grounded." There was still no response, and she started to just think that he ran off to go play with some friends. She called her sons friends parents but they haven't seen him either.

"Police"- ISO 400, aperture f/1.8, shutter speed 1/1250
When she couldn't find her son the mother went to the police station and wanted to report a missing child. The police officer said they can't do anything unless the child has been missing for more than 24-48 hours. She demanded to see a detective and the police officer just told her to sit down and wait. She was sitting there waiting until she noticed that thats what all the other parents with missing children did, they waited. So she decided to take matters into her own hands and find her son.

"Searching"- iso 1600, aperture f/16, shutter speed 1/1000
She left the police station and started to find her son with no help of the police. She hopped on her elephant and started looking for her son. She was yelling his name to see if there would be any response, but so far none. With no hopes of finding her son she decided to just go back to the police station. When she was riding, she could hear a faint scream coming from the woods beside her. She knew it was her son.

"Rush hour"-ISO 400, aperture f/1.8, shutter speed 1/3200
When she heard her son screaming she ran as fast as she could towards the scream. As she was running she could see a man holding her son, while he was trying to break free of his grip. When she got to them she stopped and said , " If you don't give me back my child i will kill you." The man obviously didn't believe her and just started laughing. Little did he know she was hiding something behind her back.

" At last"- ISO 400, aperture f/16, shutter speed 1/30
The man just kept laughing and then he stopped. All she wanted was her son and they would leave but he just couldn't let that happen. Then all the sudden the boy wiggled and wiggled then bit the mans hand and elbowed him in the stomach. He ran to his mother and as the man was getting up the mother noticed that he was pulling something out from his back. The mother quickly pulled out her gun and shot him right in the chest. She was shocked at what she had done, but she knew she had to or else he would have killed them both. In relief the mother fell to the ground and started crying, holding her son. She finally found her baby boy.

Surrealistic Selfie

8/24/2016
This is a surrealistic selfie, of myself, enjoying the warmth and light that the fire is giving me. If you can see it well, I have a forest burning in my eyes. This is supposed to represent myself by showing that i love sitting by a fire, but as fire does bring light and warmth it also destroys everything it touches. Thats the ugly truth.
