Cubism

An early 20th-century avant-garde art movement pioneered by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso.  In cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstract form. Instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, Cubism depicts a subject from multiple viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.

Self Portrait- Formalistic

For my formalistic self portrait I wanted to use backlighting.  I really like the effects that backlighting can have on a photo, especially portraits.  I took this photo on a sunny day around 3pm when the sun was still fairly high in the sky,  and the light was hitting the back of my head.  I took several different portraits, but this one was my favorite.

Independent Project- Shadows

For my independent project I played with shadows and the shapes they could create on people's faces. I used several different materials to create the shadows: 3 different kinds of lace, a fishnet, and tree leaves.  I held each material in front of my beautiful model Jade, and with the sun shining through the material I was able to cast a shadow on her face.  I took the photos digitally in color, but also made them all black and white.  I like the black and white ones the best because the shadows are really emphasized, although the color ones are pretty too.  Here are some of my favorites.
