Near and Far Project

This was the near and far project. This project you had to have a landscape (far) and everything in the photo has to be in focus (Near). These are some of the photo's I took!

Nigel Barker's Work

Nigel Barker

One of my favorite photographers is he himself , Nigel Barker!  I love watching America's Next Top Model.(A.N.T.M). He is mostly the one taking the photo's. Nigel was born in London April 27, 1972. Barker is married to Cristen Chin Barker, a model who has been working with Cover Girl since 1999. "That night" Barker said, "I called my mom and said , I've met this girl, I'm gonna marry her." They now have two children Jack and Jasmine.

5 Rules of Composition (Scott Kelby)

 #1 Rule of Thirds:
Don't put main object in direct middle of photo.

#2 Leading Lines:
Shadows or lines that led you down a hall or tunnel...etc.

#3 Fill Frame:
Don't leave a bunch of extra space.

#4 Patterns:
If all objects are the same and one is different it adds interest.

#5 Frame:
Example: If you take a picture of a window with activity outside the window the window now becomes the frame.

Some Photo's Taken By Mike Ruiz and his Modeling Photos

Mike Ruiz

http://www.mikeruiz.com/

Mike Ruiz is a world renowned photographer. He is also a former model, an actor, spokesperson, and a creative director. Mike was born and raise in Montreal, Canada and at the age of 20 he moved to the states with just $300 dollars in his pocket and a desire to be in the entertainment world. After working for more than a decade as a successful model his true calling came into focus one Christmas morning, when he received a gift of a lifetime: his first camera. His whole life was about to change. Soon teaching himself how to use the camera and taking pictures all the time, to this day he's still clicking away. Mike has done photo shoots with Betty White, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, and more! He has also been in the panel of Canada's Next Top Model. He plans to go where ever his camera takes him! 

Imogen Cunningham

Was born Portland, Oregon in 1883. She liked to take close up photos of flowers. Here are some of them...

This photo is of Calla Lily. In this photo you can see the petals and the details in them. You can also see the stamen in the middle of the flower. She really got good detail in this flower, It shows more then what you would see when looking at at the flower in person.

Hand Held

While our room is being worked on, my teacher wanted to show us a movie called "Hand Held". It's about a photojournalist Mike Carroll one of the first photographers to travel to Romania after the fall of the communist regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1989.When he arrived, he walked into one the most horrific scenes in the 20th century. His photographs and heart wrenching stories of the pediatric AIDS epidemic in Romania ran in the Boston Globe and New York Times and opened the eyes of the western world to the plight of Romanian children. Carroll's twenty-year journey to bring aid tot he children in a country that he hardly knew, through the organization he founded, Romanian Children Relief (RCR). What followed was a twenty- year odyssey for Mike and hes colleagues as they fought to bring help to a population of children in need.
