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.

What Does It Mean to Me?
Calendar: I look at my calendar everyday, and usually it has an inspirational quote on it, but I got a new calendar for 2015. I strive to be more like the character pictured, January was Anna.
Nightlight: I use this nightlight some nights after I watch a scary show or movie, so it helps me sleep.
Rings: I try and wear one of my rings everyday cause I like them.
Mug: I use this mug at least twice a day, so it is a large part of my day.
Piano: I play the piano, so this picture shows that I like to play the piano.



How does the Compositional Element make the Picture Better?
Calendar: The compositional element makes the calendar look longer and adding to the importance of it. 
Nightlight: The compositional element makes the nightlight stand out emphasizing the use of it.
Rings: Having the rings at the top and middle emphasizes its importance to me.
Mug: The mug is the largest component of this composition showing that it is the thing that I use most often.
Piano: The piano acts like the calendar framing the whole thing. Also, it is large because it's a large part of me.




Principals and Elements
Accomplish-mints: Movement and Rhythm and Curved Lines,
Medicine Box: Diagonal Lines
Bed: Horizontal Lines and Variety
Chipotle: Variety, Curved Lines and Unity
Agenda: Movement and Rhythm and Rule of Thirds

What Does it Mean to Me?

Accomplish-mints: My accomplish-mints jar has nothing in it currently, but any time I accomplish something, I write it down and put it in. At the end of the year, I open it up to see all the things I've done.
Medicine Box: My medicine box has my medications in it that I have to take everyday, or else I blow up or something.
Bed: My bed is really a futon, so I can put it up as a couch during the day and put it as a bed when I sleep. I like my bed.
Chipotle: One of my favorite places to eat is Chipotle because you can make the food however you want, and being vegetarian this is really helpful so I don't accidentally eat meat.
Agenda: My agenda represents the homework that I do because I want to do good in school so I don't fail at life.



How does the Compositional Element make the Picture Better?

Accomplish-mints: Keeping this picture small, makes it better because it more sparkly that way.
Medicine Box: The square picture makes the box look super square and showing that it is a square.
Bed: The rectangular shape emphasizes the horizontal line element.
Chipotle: Having the chipotle large makes it show that food is a large part of my life.
Agenda: Putting this picture small and bottom makes it show that I dislike school.





Where you go? On an average day in my life, I don't really go anywhere. I go out to eat at Chipotle because Chipotle is amazing. 


What you are involved in? I play the piano, and I attempt to practice everyday.



How daily activities form your identity? My daily activities reflect my identity because I don't do much with my life and that results in me being lazy.
