Letter to my past self

To be successful in photography you need to put as much effort as you can into your work. Use up class time to your advantage. Never settle for your first idea, as it is probably the most basic one you have. It might not be a bad idea, but if it's your first thought other people might have thought of it to. Alway's take your time when taking pictures and be patient when working with photoshop, especially the cut out tool. Overall, you need to take your time and think about what you are going to do for a while. But most importantly, you need to have fun with it and be creative. Let your creativity show.

This is a piece I did a while ago. I think it is successful, because instead of just taking the pictures and being done with it, I put them together into a collage. It's little things like this that will make your work stand out and show how much thought you put into it.

Cubism questions

Steps - The photographer first had to choose a place to take his photos. Then he took his photos, and by looking at the image it looks as if he took multiple at different times of the day. Once he had his pictures he had to composite them all into one. I would say between 50 and 100 pictures were used to make this image. The pictures were not taken at the same time of day as some are darker then others. In some of the squares there is a photoshop enhancement of fuzziness, as if the photographer wants those slightly blurred out. I noticed that the photographer tended to take the pictures from the same angle. All the pictures are pointing the same way as if the camera did not move. Overall I think that this project was not an easy feat. From the looks of it, it appears to have taken quite a while to have pieced everything together. As well as add the photoshop enhancements and figure out which square fits well.
