PHOTOGRAPHS
Portrait
This is a portrait photograph of Tamar. The reason why I like this photograph is because I have a special function on my camera so I can easily focus my camera on the face and the body of someone while the background is vague. This way the subject of the photograph really stands out.
Landscape
I took this landscape photograph in Shanghai. I really thought this was beautiful because of the foggy sky and the reflection of the trees in the water. I was standing on a bridge while I made this beautiful photograph.
Black & White
This is a black and white photograph of a sunflower. I thought it was really cool in color, but then I changed it into black and white and it looked much cooler.
Based on artist
This photograph is based on my favourite artist, SteveMcCurry. He photographs people in their natural habitat. That is the reason why I photographed this girl in her natural habitat /on a regular basis.
Practice photographs
I made these photographs just to practice with photographing.
Evaluation
I really liked making these photographs with this project, because there were no limits and you could photograph whatever you wanted. From this project I learned how to photograph different objects landscapes and humans. In my opinion the photographs I took turned out well.
