Richard Avedon was an American fashion and portrait photographer. He was born on May 15, 1923 in New York. He was in possession of Kodak Box Brownie camera by the age of 12. Richard Avedon died in 2004 because of a brain haemorrage. 

                                                                                                                                           
 Our group was inspired by Richard Avedon because we liked how he put the style just in one picture. How all his pictures were mostly black and white.

Family Portraits
Family photography tips

What I learned by seeing and reading these websites is that if you wear light colors in a family portrait the photograph looks differently than if they wore dark colors. Also it depends on the background. If you are taking a family portrait sometimes it is necessary to use flash, so do so if you need to. Reasonable shutter speeds of at least 1/124s.

     Bryan Farley has a blog,  and he has four main pictures on his home page. The pictures that he captured are very good. He cropped it at a good measure. I like how in the last picture he focused it on the musician and blurred out the background. In the second picture on the homepage he did the same thing. To make things differently he could have done the opposite blur out the front and focus it on the background. 

He has a gallery of a wedding theme. Those pictures I loved because he captured the moments where the married couple would look at eachother and smile. He caught the moments where they looked so happy. Where they can act themselves around each other, and make silly faces to each other. 

Cropping Rule of Composition

The cropped photo illustrates the rule of patterns , because you see the background and you see that there all rectangular shapes then in the bottom you see there big rectangular shapes. 

Cropping for better composition

The cropped photo illustrates the pattern rule of composition , because there is a pattern of palm trees one little one and one big one and it keeps going.

Composition Element of Space

In the following picture you can identify space in the pictures that we have captured. 

Camera Review.

Canon EOS Rebel T3i has excellent video capabilities, images and video quality. The bad is that it can be frustrating. It is hard to shoot fast things such as a pet when they're running around or sports. It's good to take videos in them but not pictures because it is hard to keep up. The T3 is about $450 but if you have more money to spend you should buy the T3i it has more video capabilities. It has significantly better performance and photo quality than the T3, and you get higher resolution, excellent video capture, and an articulated LCD. The Canon Rebel T3i takes the consumer level dSLR a couple steps closer to the mid-level Canon 60D with the addition of the rotating rear LCD screen, remote flash firing, and in-camera processing features. The T3i is heavier than the T2i because it has the rotating rear.

Aperture Practice

In this picture I chose Mirror because I wanted to see how I saw another one of me. 

I chose Pop Art because it's very colorful and you can see myself as a different color in each one of them. 

In this picture I chose squeeze because I wanted to see myself in a different kind of shape i like being silly with my pictures sometimes.

In this picture I chose black and white because I see my face in a different type of color. My face looks smooth. 

I chose Thermal Camera because you can see me in a different type of camera too. My face looks like a different type of color and I like how I look in it. 

Assignment 2, Cropping Composition.

First Assignment - Observing Light.

When I walked to the sky light in the hallway with other classmates. I noticed the shadows under their chins. When they went under the sky light I saw their faces became lighter and there were still shadows under their chins because there chin covers there neck, since the sky light was above them.
