'Scenes Of Life'

I think this series of photographs shows a strong photographic vision and works well together. I really like how the artist incorporates everyday life events. The first picture point of view from the ceiling or the sky compresses the space of the image into a surface. I like how each picture shows a different emotion, it definitely captures how people act or feel in everyday life. The perspective and angle of how the artist took these photographs gives it an interesting look. There compositions capture different moods focusing on our existence in the world and our dreams. I don't really think the series needs to be improved. This particular series caught my attention and I like it how it is.

Portrait: 'Stealing the Soul'

Jen Jansen, The Road Ahead, San Diego, CA

I think this portrait does a great job of providing a sense of the model's character and personality because you can get this feeling of innocence and youth. The emotion on her face portrays something about her character as well.

National Geographic- Landscape Photography

Lava Cauldron, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Photograph by: Carsten Peter 

I choose this photograph because of the vibrant colors. I love the bright yellow clouds of gas as it fades into orange. The overall composition is really nice and interesting. I like the angle at which the photograph is shot because you can see that the whole volcano is active and that the lava boiling in the middle. My eye goes directly to the center of the volcano, which looks like the main focus of the photograph. The details are very clear and I think the colors make the whole image stand out very sharply. 

Mood Music - Album Covers

Original 

Edit 

This is an album cover for 'Young and Beautiful' by Lana Del Rey. I choose this image because I think the vibrant and glittery colors of the mask fit the style of music.  It gives it an elegant old fashioned type of look. The symbolism behind the mask fits the mood as well. I got inspired to use this song from the movie The Great Gatsby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol6WLWNhWjk

This is an album cover for the song 'I'm Just A Kid' by Simple Plan. I choose this image because I think this fits perfectly with the mood of the song. The contrast colors in the background and the boy standing in the middle of the hallway fits this punk/alternative style of the song. He seems lost and is trying to figure out what direction he should go in.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GOR5gvQwDI
