Academic Shoot

In this picture, I used the Rule of Thirds. I put the girl in the right third of the picture. The subject of this picture is the girl using the fire extinguisher which is aimed at her target. Yes, it is clear to the people viewing my photo what the subject of the picture is. 









The rule of composition I used is Balance. There is a nice spread of people's different heights in the picture. In this picture, the subject is the teacher instructing her students what to do a the whiteboard. I think the subject is mostly clear to viewers, the only thing they might not see is what the teacher is instructing them to do. In order to make sure people know what the subject is, I could've stepped back to where what they were doing on the whiteboard could be seen. 





The rule of composition is Balance as well. The students fill the picture and Chef is at the head of the table, looking the other way, balancing out the amount of people looking in one direction. The subject of this photo is Chef talking to his students about safety procedures. I don't think the subject is very obvious to viewers, but one thing I could've done differently to ensure they knew the subject is gotten a shot of him holding the fire extinguisher. This would've made it clear that he is teaching his students the safety procedures.

    I really like your subjects! They're exciting and action-packed, especially in your first picture.

    Good images. The first is awesome, but it is slightly out of focus, you just missed it by a little bit. The second is also slightly fuzzy. I am also not sure who I am supposed to be looking at. The third is okay, but again the focal point is kind of hard to determine. Work hard to get close and make sure we have a very clear subject.

Great Black and White Photographers Part 2

Image
      This was the original photo I picked that was taken by William Klein. I originally chose this picture because I liked how it showed that children were still able to have a normal childhood, even though the Great Depression had only just ended a few years prior. Because of this picture, I decided to learn more about William Klein.       William Klein was born in New York City on April 19, 1928, and is now 89 years old. He had a very fast paced childhood, graduating from high school at just fourteen. He then enrolled at the City College of New York at the same time he joined the army in 1945. He had to go to Paris because he was stationed there in the army, but once he was withdrawn from the army he stayed in Paris so he could study art. He had the opportunity of studying with a fellow artist, Fernand Leger along with many other artists.       During the early 1950's he started trying to make abstract photographs from his paintings.

My First Interview

1.) How does it feel to be named "Student of the Month"? Great, I have been working for it the entire school year. 2.)What do you think moved people to vote you for student of the month? I think people were moved to vote for me because of my hardworking personality and my overall friendliness.  3.) What do  you  think you did to be nominated for this award? I saved a puppy from being run over in front of the school, and I think once people saw that they thought "Hey I'm going to vote for her for student of the month". 4.) Was this title something you strived for, or did it just happen? I strived for it freshman year, but 10th and 11th grade I became obsessed with earning the title. 5.) What advice would you give to students who are trying to be the student of the month? I would tell them to make sure and turn your work in on time and try and become friends with your teachers, but try not to be the teacher's pet. 6.) Is there someone who motivated you to earn...
