Why Photography Is Important:

Photography can be found all over social media and is the main source of content on the platforms. It can show photos from the range of somebody’s daily activities to educational and informational events. It can allow others to see what important events are happening from all the way across the world and even encourage others to raise awareness. Photography is also a main source of documentation of important events in history. It is one of the only tools that allow people to grasp a feel of what these events were actually like.

Photography is important to me because it allows me to go back to earlier times. It can allow me to see pets or family members that are no longer with me. Photography captures happiness from moments that are special and one of a kind. It brings the feeling of familiarity and warmth when I look at certain moments in time which reminds me of how lucky I am to have a keepsake of special life experiences.

Pop Art

Andy Warhol
  1. Pop art is when iconic people or modern objects are edited with bright colors. They can sometimes be placed in collages of the same image but with heavily edited colors to create dimension between each image.
  2. This artist’s work is considered Pop Art because of the simple image used in all six squares. Each image is edited with their own colors which makes them all different, although it’s the same image.
  3. Andy Warhol is known for his bright and colorful pop art. All of his pieces contain bright colors that create dimension from existing photos or objects.
  4. I picked Andy Warhol’s artwork because he’s known for his work in pop art. I like the bright colors Warhol uses in all of his images and how they’re consistent with his entire gallery but still are unique from one another.

HDR Landscape

When shooting this image, I had to take at least five pictures of the same landscape at different exposures. I had to do this often because I would move the camera which would throw off the overall alignment of the photo when I was in the editing process. When the photos were merged, I fixed the saturation levels and the vibrancy to bring out all the small details in this image. I then edited in clouds to fill in the empty space above my image to create this outcome.
HDR Photography is when multiple images of the same landscape is shot at different exposure levels and merged to form one image. They are then edited to bring out every little detail in the setting.
