This photograph is a hypothetical add for Sansha Pointe Shoes. The slogan plays off of the word pointe as a type of shoe and as a way in which you should direct yourself.

Nicholas

This is a picture of my little brother Nicholas. He is six years-old and this picture truly shows his innocence. While taking the picture I posed Nicholas on the arm of a chair and told him to look at the camera. While he is gazing into the camera lens his eyes are illuminated and one can see that he is deep in thought.

Imitation

      This is a picture I took while imitating the style of Timothy O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan is a Civil War photographer who also took black and white photographs of landscapes. His goal was to portray nature as untouched by man and in its true natural being. This photograph is similar to O'Sullivan's photographs as it shows a large landscape that is completely untouched by man, with no evidence of man.

This is an example of one of Timothy O'Sullivan's landscape photographs.



Tarzan

This is a picture of my cat Tarzan jumping up into the air. While taking this picture I used a very slow shutter speed that enabled the blur of the photograph. The blur evokes a sense of mystery and wonder because if the audience is lead towards using their imagination. One of the main goals of photography is to create a new image that the audience has never seen before with everyday things. I believe that this photograph accomplishes that.

Still Life

The depth of field of a photograph controls how much of the picture is in focus. With a large depth of field, the picture's background is in focus. With a shallow depth of field, only the main subject will be in focus. This can enhance how prominent the focus of your picture is. The three factors that affect the depth of field are aperture, subject to camera distance and the focal length of the lens. A shallow depth of field worked best for my still life photos, because it ensured that the viewers focus was on my subject rather than the subject.
