Alphabet Art

S-W-A-G-!

For this project on Alphabet Art I chose to do the word SWAG! I chose to do this word because it has been trending in the past few years. 2011 is when everyone started using this word more often. The definition of SWAG is apperance ,style, or the way someone represents themself. According to the Urban Dictionary it stands for Stuff We All Get.

Why shoot in black & white?

I think shooting in black and white is good. It’s good because it’s original, from when people could only shoot in black and white. Color is nice but black and white is unique because that is where it all started.  Black and white reminds people of the moments they cherish in the past. When I look at a black and white photo I feel as if I’m frozen in that moment.  

Black and white stands out more than ever now due to the fact that we see everything in color from day to day of our lives. We even watch T.V. now in color, so when we see something that is black and white something different for once we are more drawn in by it. Black and white pictures are better at getting a message or story across as well because color picture are much more distracting. That’s why black and white pictures are still popular and in demand today.

Food Photography

My Food photography is on a selective variety of foods. I took pictures of two warm meals that are chicken nuggets and fries and a Swiss cheese eggs croissant. Then I did two snacks most people love which was a donut and a smore. And the last ones I did was a banana split with brownies and reeses peanut butter ice cream and a cup of chocolate milk with whip topped with Hershey chocolate syrup. I like the details and clarity of the pictures especially the focus on them.     

BECOME SOMEONE ELSE CHALLENGE

 

This campaign, "Become Someone Else" by the Lithuanian Agency called Love for Mint Vinetu.

"When one reads books, he/she starts living it and identifies (or not) with main hero. These print ads for the Mint Vinetu bookstore, which sells lots of classics, focuses on the idea of becoming someone else. And provokes people to try on different personas."

Taking the pictures were not as hard as finding a book that could fit a person's face. I like the theme because it holds many different possibilities.
