Keith Major

Keith Major had a series of photographs where he painted a certain color on his model and photographed them on a gray background. In the above photo I used blue as my color. I also accentuated her make-up and brightened her eyes so that they would stand out more.

In this photo I added purple and yellow to my model. In Keith's photos he only used one color but I wanted to put my own spin on it so I used more than one. He would also put some sort of headband on the model and I did that as well. In this photo I also put more make-up on her in photoshop and brightened her as again.

Dustin Rabin

Dustin Rabin took a lot of photographs of famous bands. The photo above emulates one of his photographs of Billy Talent. He used multiple shots and angles of the same pose and repeated them like a series. I did the same thing, but also added a little bit of my own style into it as well.

Another one of his photographs was of this girl's eyes. He made them a really bright blue and accentuated them with the same color make-up and then blurred everything but the eyes and a little bit around them. I did the same thing here and I also gave a blue tint to the photo so that it would blend together.

Color Psychology and Yellow wallpaper

Blue can either represent being calm and peaceful or being sad. This picture is kind of a mixture of both. I edited my nephew's eyes because they are normally brown and I made them blue to bring out the color. I took some of him with a blue shirt on but he just seemed to blend into the wall. I like this picture a lot better because it is obvious that blue is the dominant color but it is not overdone. I wanted to show the sadness in his eyes and on his facial expression because little kids are sometimes forgotten and left in the background when something new happens. They become the old story and they are too little to understand it or to say why they are acting the way they are.

Red can represent many different things, such as love, hate, or extreme passion and intensity. I wanted to show the combination of things because sometimes you feel conflicting emotions at the same time. I used juice and poured it out of a bowl to represent how your emotions just pour out sometimes and they go everywhere and you might not even know what all of them are. I brightened up the red towards the front of the photo and in the bowl and brought out the highlights and shadows. I also burned the background to draw more focus on the red.

Black can be view as classy or often it is view as a symbol of death. I mixed white into this photo because I wanted it to be a mix between innocence and sort of like fear, but at the same time following what you know because you don't think anything is wrong with it but in the end it is hurting you. I showed how sometimes the things you like to do the most are the biggest reason for your downfall because you become obsessed and consumed by them.

Yellow represents being happy and green shows nature. I wanted to show happiness through nature. I love being outside and doing activities. Everyone says that I am always really happy and I think that nature plays a part in that. I brought the yellow out in this photo but I didn't want to make the yellow too bright because I kind of wanted the yellow and the green to have an equal balance. I like the angle of the photo and also how there is a lot of detail.

This photo represents how in the story the girl always talked about the lady creepin'. I used long exposure and took a flashlight back and forth. I like how the light is coming out from the window as well and if you look close it is moving out. I wanted the stream of light to represent the lady creepin' back and forth and how the girl trapped in the house and watching from the window. I also like how the cabinets look like they are trying to open and someone is trying to escape.

Andy Goldsworthy pics

This photo reminds me of something that Andy Goldsworthy would build, especially with the branches and the circle with the gap in the middle. I really like how the branch comes out of the right side of the photo and draws your eye to look towards the gap. It's like a sculpture of branches that leads into nature.

The trees in the fire remind me of like building a tree-fort. The fact that they are on fire goes along with how Andy Goldsworthy's photos are of nature and it can something that naturally occurs, even if it is harmful and fire is obviously harmful yet also important. I like how the fire looks in this photo and you can see the wind blowing the flames.

Andy Goldsworthy made sculptures and placed rocks in a circular pattern with a gap in the middle. He would also place an object that completely stood out with all of the other objects in the photo. Also he would put the gap or the object right in the center. I think that this photo is a good example of something that he would do. I like the angle and how everything blends in except for the blue object right in the center.

Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist. He produces site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings. Goldsworthy's art involves the use of natural and found objects, to create both temporary and permanent sculptures which draw out the character of their environment. Some of his photographs include sculptures made from rocks or sticks. Many are made into a circular shape with a gap in the middle. He also creates trails with objects that draw your eye throughout the photo. Many of the trials are in swirls or circles. He also uses color to set things apart and make certain objects stand out in the photo.

Repulsive and Attractive

These photos can be viewed as both because the broken glass represents the repulsion and the sunset is the attraction. I showed repulsion and attraction symbolically, not just how the picture looks. I think that sunsets are really pretty, which is the attraction. However, when people normally think of broken glass, they think of repulsion because it can be related to breaking into a house or just things that are broken in our lives.


A lot of people do not like cemetaries because they think that being around a whole bunch of dead people is kind of creepy. Therefore cemetaries can be viewed as repulsive to many people. However, we went to the cemetary where my granda is buried and to us, the cemetary is not creepy or repulsive because we think of the memories that we have. Therefore, it is something attractive and happy. I had my nephew sit by the grave stone to show that cemetaries can be viewed as a place to go and remember the ones you love and not as something bad.

Some people might now view thing picture as attractive, but to me it is really pretty and I enjoy nature a lot. Although some may think that the green stuff growing on the tree is gross, it reminds of the the different colors you see in nature and thats why I enjoy it so much.

This is kind of a continued theme from the cemetary but it I just really liked these pictures. I think that some people view religion as something that is really bad and repulsive to them but I view it as a good thing because to me it is important. I really like the colors and angles of these pictures because they are taken from a different perspective.
