Art Photography Assignment

Recently in art we have been working on photography. We had 5 categories of types of photos that we had to take photos for. They were Shadows with Repetition, Reflection, Rule of Thirds, Atypical Angle, and Texture.
Here is how I set up the photo I submitted for Shadows with Repetition.

When I wanted to take my photo for Shadows, I was at home, which meant I didn't have any bright lights to set up my shadows with like we do in the art studio. So I noticed it was very sunny out which is perfect to get a shadow from. One thing I learned from this project, is that most good photos need to be set up. You can't always just find something and take the photo. So I grabbed some glasses from the kitchen and set them up like shown. I would've had just one glass, but I chose multiple glasses to show repetition/pattern in my shadows. I chose glasses because glass is transparent, so I knew they would make an interesting shadow.

Reflection Questions

This photo fits into more than one category. I submitted it for Rule of Thirds, because the nail is to the left in the photo. But I think this fits into Texture as well because the nail and the area next to the nail is very sharp. Also, I had to crop this photo to make it a Rule of Thirds photo. So I was about to not submit it at all, but it was a really cool photo, so I wanted to submit it for something. In the end, I chose Rule of Thirds because it wasn't extremely sharp, but it exhibited Rule of Thirds pretty well.





If I could do this assignment again, I would probably upload photos more often because I lost photos twice, and only retrieved half of the ones I lost. I would also want to start taking photos at home earlier because I found that the photos I took at home were taken at the last minute, so I feel that if I started earlier I would've had more photos to choose from and better photos. But I was proud of the photos I did get to take at home.
