Creativity.
In these black and white photographs I wanted to capture some sort of emotion or expression in each. I had certain ideas for each concerning where and how I wanted to take the pictures. I wanted the pictures to be all in different angles and in different areas. I also wanted the photos to be different than others I had previously taken. I took many pictures and decided on these four out of all of them. I think my most creative picture was the one concerning light because it expressed the feeling of ying-yang or having two different sides to a whole. The difficult part was capturing the light in the right form for the composition. Each of my pictures are different which makes them all more interesting to look at.
Composition.
I believe that all of my photographs have good contrast, value, and emphasis. I used off setting the subject in order to create an emphasis. For the light photograph I wanted the picture to be cut by the light and also decided that I wanted myself to be cut in half also. So I centered myself with the light. On my lines photo I had the lines lead to me as well as the difference in color between me and the surroundings. In my prop photo I had my prop bigger than me but myself darker than my prop in order for the viewer to first look at me then from my look on my face look at the prop. My rule of thirds picture was set up for most of the picture to be darker because I wanted the focus to be on my face and my lower body. The expressions on mine and my friend’s face was unexpected but made the picture all the better. I think compositionally my light picture in the best because of it being simple. I would not change the composition of any of my photos because I think I placed them in all the right conditions according to my preferences.
Craftsmanship.
My photos did not turn out the way I pictured them I took them. However, once I altered the levels the pictures turned out the way I preferred. I love there to be lots of light in my photographs because it looks more unreal and more interesting to me. None of my pictures were altered by a great deal because I made sure there was enough light and darkness in all the pictures. None of my pictures were very blurry or pixilated. I did not use any of the camera techniques except for ISO in my wall picture. I think I did a great job overall craftsmanship wise. I think my strength overall was visualizing the end effect. My overall weakness was using too much darks.
Conclusion.
I think that I did an overall great job in creating my photos. They have good contrast and emphasis. If I could have this assignment again I would take more poses to choose from. Perhaps my emotions in the pictures were not strong enough. My favorite overall shot was the one with my prop because it has a lot of emotion that is real and the black look great. My least favorite picture of them all was my rule-of-thirds picture because I felt it restricted me. I enjoyed this project because it involved visionary.

These are really cool portraits...I really liked how you used the lighting in the second photograph to split you in half...that was really creative. It was like you were trying to portray two different personalities. Yep, this project was really fun and cool!
I like how these pictures came out! My favorite is the first one, due to its simplicity. I also like the levels of contrast in the last photo. Nice pictures, Rocky! And tell Jess I said hi!
