Altered Portraits
​
Original
Edited
1.The hardest altered portrait to create was the cracked face portrait because it was something totally new than what we have never done before to where we had to watch a tutorial and I still got a little confused while watching it.
​
2.The easiest altered portrait was the image overlay because all we had to do was take multiple photos and overlay them on top of each other and change the opacity of the other images.
​
3.To a viewer a altered portrait can just mean an image that is changed a little using photoshop. To a photographer a altered portrait can mean many different things it can mean a image overlay photo, a Cyanotype photo, or even a backlit image. To photographers there are many different types of altered images.
​
4.Out of the seven photos I will most likely crate the backlit image again because it is one of my favorite and it is an image I am confidante about that I can create it to look good because I am not the best at photoshop and I feel like the backlit image is one I can do good on.
​
5.The historical significant behind the sepia alter techniques if that it makes an image look like an old photo to where the image can look like it was taken from many years ago but in reality it was not.
​
6.It is important for us to learn about these altered portrait because some of these editing techniques could be very useful on other photos we edit.
​
7.I think only some photos should be altered because depending on how good of a photographer you are could depend on wether the photo he already good as the original photo. I think that some photos that are the original photos can look good but some images may not look as good and should have been altered to make it look better.
​
8.By altering a portrait it allows you do do many things with it. It allows you to change the color of the portrait to make it look old fashioned or you can make it have multiple layers of an image to make it look like there is movement in the image. It can also allow you to add to the image if you are good at photoshop to make the image look totally different.
Blur Motion Before Questions
1. Blur Motion is when a photo is taken and in the photo it has motion. It has some blur movement but it also has a clear image of something as well.
​
2.To create a blur motion image you need a camera that can change shutter speed to make it slower.You also need a subject to take a photo of.
​
3. My subject might be of a person and what they will be doing is either a walk, run, or even a jump or something. I am not really sure what else I could really do.
​
4.To get the blur motion image to work on the camera you have to slow down the shutter speed and if you do that then you should be able to get it to work.
​
5.All of these images were taken with a slow shutter speed and because of that it makes the images have a little blur. In each image there is at least a spot that has no blur and you can still tell what is happening in the photo.

Blur Motion after questions
1.Blur motion is an image taken where some of the image is blurry while some of it is clear.In the image you can also tell what is happening in the image.
​
2.To create a blur motion image you have to slow down the shutter speed and keep the camera still to get a blur motion image. You have to have an object moving in the image.
3.In photo shop we alter the images lightly, not to much editing but we altered the brightness of the image and we could have changed the color to black and white or add burns and dodge.
​
4.The difficult part of the blur motion was taking the images. It was a new way of taking images for me so it was a little difficult adjusting to taking these kinds of images. Also trying to figure out what to do next for an image a little difficult to do as well.
​
5.The easy thing about editing these images is that we did not need to to major edits just little edits that did not take that long to do. The easy part about shooting these images was we were taking pictures with people I knew so it was easy to do some of the thinks we did for the images unlike if I were to take pictures with people I did not know I would be to shy to do some of those things.
Forced Perspective
original
edited
Forced perspective questions
1.My images are of my group doing things to make the image be tricked by making it look like things are bigger than they actually are.There is a photo of someone holding someone while another person is holding them.
2.These images use forced perspective because they trick the camera to make it seem like things are bigger or smaller than they really are.
3.we crated these images by trial and error when we took the photos we had to decide if someone moves closer or moves further back.
4.The thing that is hard about these photos is you have to get the image just right and you have to position your models to the perfect spot to make it look like they are holding something but they actually are not.
5.the line of sight affects the image because if you don't have the right line if sight the photo wont come out right. The depth of field helps you get the whole image and it helps to make things look different from what they are.The distance is what helps the object look bigger or smaller in the image .
Project 1 Minimalist
Original Edited
Independent Project after questions
1.I chose to do minimalist photography. I chose to do this because when I saw this type of photography so many ideas came to my head although some did not turn out how I wanted to.
2.What I did to get my images was to go to places that had mainly empty space so I could shoot my photos.
3.The type of editing I did was mostly changing the tone and color of the images but I also cropped some of the images and I took some things out of images using the patch edit.
4.What I learned about minimalist photography is that it is really fun to do and sometimes it is a little hard to take images if you do not have the right materials to do it. It also looks easier then it actually is.
5.What I found difficult to was trying to find space that was empty also to create an idea for the photo like how its gonna look and what type of angle you are going to use.
6.I think for my first time taking this type of photography they came our really nice and I like how most of them came out but they could also be better there is always room to improve on what to take picture of and how its going to look.
7.I am not really sure what I am going to do for my next independent project it is something I have to look in to but I want to take photos of something that I will enjoy taking photos of.
