Test shot .


The central idea of this piece , is to be abstract , the angle I photographed this image, was a side view , and I tried to focus the middle and blurry out the sides. The lighting I used was a bright contrast, and making the picture more brighter, I didn't lighten it. This photograph contrubute to my image because you cant really tell that the image is, its suppose to an abstract image, and I believe this picture falls under that theme, and its inspiring me to do more images abstract, but its hard than it really looks, to take images that are abstract. Yes my idea changed because it was hard to find images that are abstract, So i change my idea to global warning because it was more meaning to me, than abstact images that 
I don't connect with taking those kind of images. I think I will go into more global warning pictures , but I will use this for my five images, so at least I can experience taking different pictures, and expanding my knowledge of taking pictures .

Artist biography.


            My inspiration for my senior exhibition is a photographer named Joel Meyerowitz, he really inspired me because I really like how he really uses thirds, and I think that’s one of my flaws in photography, I don’t really analyze the way I set up my photo, I don’t use thirds, also the way I proportion in my photograph, I can learn a lot, analyzing his work, he really helped the way I set up my picture.
            Joel Meyerowitz was born in New York, in the year of 1938. Joel Meyerowitz stated photographing in 1962; he exclusively worked with color, Joel Meyerowitz was known to use 8 X 10 large format cameras to produces luminous photography for landscapes.
