Masterpiece by Jessie J

So much pressure
Why so loud?
If you don't like my sound
You can turn it down

I got a road
And I walk it alone

Uphill battle
I look good when I climb
I'm ferocious, precocious
I get braggadocios

I'm not gonna stop
I like the view from the top (Yeah)

You talk that blah blah, that la la, that rah rah shit
And I'm so done, I'm so over it
Sometimes I mess up, I f*$% up, I hit and miss
But I'm okay, I'm cool with it

I still fall on my face sometimes
And I can't colour inside the lines
'Cause I'm perfectly incomplete
I'm still working on my masterpiece

And I, I wanna hang with the greats
Got a way to go, but it's worth the wait
No, you haven't seen the best of me
I'm still working on my masterpiece

Oooh, oooh
Oooh, aaah
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, aaah

Those who mind don't matter
Those who matter, don't mind
If you don't catch what I'm throwing
Then I'll leave you behind

Gone in a flash
And I ain't living like that

They talk that blah blah, that la la, that rah rah shit
Roll with the punches, and take the hits
Sometimes I mess up, I f*$% up, I swing and miss
But it's okay, I'm cool with it

I still fall on my face sometimes
And I can't colour inside the lines
'Cause I'm perfectly incomplete
I'm still working on my masterpiece
And I, I wanna hang with the greats
Got a way to go, but it's worth the wait
No, you haven't seen the best of me
I'm still working on my masterpiece

Oooh, oooh
Oooh, aaah
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, aaah

I still fall on my face sometimes
And I can't colour inside the lines
'Cause I'm perfectly incomplete
I'm still working on my masterpiece
Masterpiece, masterpiece (Yeeah)

I still fall on my face sometimes (still fall)
And I can't colour inside the lines (inside the lines)
'Cause I'm perfectly incomplete (perfectly incomplete)
I'm still working on my masterpiece (on my masterpiece)
And I, I wanna hang with the greats (oh, with the greats)
Got a way to go, but it's worth the wait, no (wait, no)
You haven't seen the best of me (b-b-best of me)
I'm still working on my masterpiece (I'm still working on my masterpiece)

Oooh, oooh (Yeeah)
Oooh, aaah (Hey)
Oooh, oooh (Still working on, still working on)
Oooh, aaah (Still working on my masterpiece)

• I'll have a silhouette of someone standing  like Jessie J. on her album cover with a famous painting in the silhouette.

"Chasing The Sun"

Why am I in such a hurry
Always getting up too early
So fast, everything is blurry, oh oh
It's like the clock is always racing
But my time is not for wasting
Someone else can do the chasing

'Cause I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
Won't miss out on the fun
Gotta get it while our hearts are young
I'm chasing the sun
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

On my pursuit of happiness
I realized that more means less
If I got love, then I am blessed, oh I know
So I'll start living while I can
And hold the moment in my hands
I'll fly until I learn to land in my home

I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
Won't miss out on the fun
Gotta get it while our hearts are young
I'm chasing the sun
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Love the life I live
And I will live the life I love
Open up my eyes
And I will take whatever comes

I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
Won't miss out on the fun
Gotta get it while our hearts are young
I'm chasing the sun

I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
Won't miss out on the fun
Gotta get it while our hearts are young
I'm chasing the sun
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

What have I learned from this project?

From this project, I have learned how to take more dynamic photos using motion. I also learned how to work the true purpose of photoshop with the layer masks. I think that my photos for this project turned out better than I thought it would. I also think that I could have taken the zooming photo better by having a more interesting subject and background. The panning could have been better by having a nicer background. I think that this project will make my photos better in the future.

Lighting Final

Why is this person important to your life?

     Avani Sonawane is an important part of my life because she's my friend to the point of being my family. I couldn't imagine my life without with her with me. She's one of my best friends who is there with me through thick and thin. 

How does their personality dictate your artistic decisions?

     Avani's personality is hard core, so a lot of the photos of her have her being super hard core. She's also really fun and loving, so many of the props are fun and cute. Avani is a dancer, so I know that just her herself is artistic, and all I had to do was capture it.

How has this unit affected your photography?

     I think this project has made my photography much better. I think now I can tell a story. When I see photos, I can tell how the photographer took the photo, and how it adds to the composition. I know how to set up lights to make my photography better, and I can already see the improvement.
