Our main task for this assignment was to illustrate different composition techniques that photographer's use to make their photos aesthetically pleasing. There's no right or wrong way to take photos, but these specific techniques will help make your work more visually appealing to the eye of the viewer. The techniques mentioned are some of the most basic and easy to work with/include in your photos. Balance - Equality of weight and definition in a photo. Movement - Suggestion of action. Repetition & Rhythm - Repeated element in an image. Emphasis - Stressed placed on a single area of an image (highlighted). Simplicity (a.k.a. visual economy) - Eliminated non-essentials from an image. Contrast - Stark differences between elements in an image. Proportion - Relation of two things in size, number, amount, etc. Space - Measurable distance between objects/elements in an image. Unity - Relationship between parts and whole composition. This assignment helped me to play more with different subjects and be more creative with my composition and techniques. I also enjoyed trying out new editing styles that I've been experimenting with for the last few weeks. This included extensive dodging/burning and selective color. I'm excited to use these techniques in the near future for other photo assignments.

I'm so thrilled to be taking my second trimester of Digital Photography. Although I took Digital I during the first trimester of my Freshmen year, since then I've actively continued to take photos and use Photoshop/Lightroom. I have my own business (lizzieclarkphotography.com), and its continued to flourish for the past few years. Currently, my forte is portrait photography. Over the past 2 years, I've done numerous paid portrait shoots of people, and I enjoyed it so much. I've also found a new, profound passion for using smoke bombs in my work. I hope that throughout the tri, I'll be able to advance my skills and try new techniques that I'm not used to! A photo of me in Ludington, MI in August. Some of my work from the past year.
