Hands

I think when I shifted my photos to black and white it improved them. I think it gave the photos more meaning and depth to them when you look at them. The black and white really made each photo look different and unique to each other. With the black and white each of the hands look amazing in the way they're posed.

In Style Of Pedro Correa

When taking this photograph i think it was important to not make that many changes in Photoshop. I say this because Pedro Correa doesn't make any digital manipulations to his photos to capture the essence of his work. 









What i focused on to remake Correa's photo was make sure i got in the sun like he did. I also made sure to make it colorful like Correa did in his photo of the sunset lips.

Pedro Correa

                          Pedro Correa

Photographer Pedro Correa was born in Madrid, Spain in 1977 to a artist painter and a teacher who loved to travel which caused the family to contently move until settling in Brussels, Belgium. From there Correa worked as a painter and loved it but he did also have an interest in photography. He got interested in photography because of the different ways he could capture moments even if they are a completely random event.

Since Correa was a painter first it help him have a special type of eye when he takes his photos. Correa has a style that was born by injecting the emotion of impressionism into the "decisive moment" of photography. From the style he takes his pictures Correa has impacted the art world by capturing elements that often go unnoticed by giving then a different perspective, but without modifying reality. Correa's personal lens reveals the poetry within reality.

When Correa takes his picture he does it in a style where he doesn't do any digital manipulation to the picture so that he can depict the spirit of any imaginary city where every single moment is worth contemplating. The meaning behind Correa's work is that his favorite subject remains the subtle human presence exuding out of urban landscapes. Also, his obsession to encapsulate enough fragile moments of fleeting urban beauty as to create with them an imaginary city where every single moment would be beautiful. People love Correa's works that his photos are displayed in Hong Kong and Singapore, through Washington, Los Angeles, and New York to London and Brussels.

Portrait

In this photo I tried to capture the beauty of my cousin at a cook out we went to that had fire torches around the yard. Since I brought my camera with me I decided to take photos of her because she is very photogenic. With the fire bringing nice lighting to her face it really brings to life her hazel eyes. The mood of this photo I would say is confidence because of the way she looks at the camera and the way she is posing. The glare of the fire also makes her look more confident in the photo. I think what the viewers can learn from this photo is that fire can make someone look really confident in a photograph.

Shadow Depth Of Field

 I choose these two photos because they were the ones that I took that looked like a good shallow depth of field than my other photos. These photos were taken in my bedroom and they're just these old fairy lights I had and decided to use. The photo on the left is more focus on the lights on the front and the photo on the right its more focused on the lights in the back.

Point of View

Original High Angle

For both of my photos I did brightness/contrast then did hue/saturation but only the saturation.  My high angle photo I masked the streets of New York to make them the original color they were when I took the photo. My backyard photo I made the clouds in the picture more vibrant because the rest of the photo is kind of dark.
