Open Ends

These are my open ended assignmet pictures. It was pretty fun to go and take pictures of whatever we wanted.

Dance

These are part of my self portraits. I like to dance and I have been for a while. I really like the reflection in the first picture. To edit it, I changed the curves and the contrast to make the colors more bold. In the second picture, it is of the mirrors and ballet bar in the Hansings studio. I really like the lighting of it. To edit, i changed the picture to black and white, blurred some thigns in the background, and changed the contrast.

Lyrics

Here is my frist song lyrics picture. To edit this I made the sky more blue and I changed the contrast and brightness. This picture represents the song, "The Great Escape" By Boys Like Girls. I chose this song because it talks about being free and not worrying about things. To show this I thought having the model open her arms to the sky represented the song well. The part of the song that I thought worked is when they say,
Throw it away, forget yesterday, we'll make the great escape. We won't hear a word they say. They don't know us anyway , watch it burn, let it die cause we are finally free tonight.

To edit this, I changed the curves and contrast to change the color. I also changed brightness to help her eyes pop out. This picture represents the song "You're Not Sorry" By Taylor Swift. I chose this song because the lyrics are strong and easy to understand. The model has a content look to her face but her eyes have a sorrow to them. She has had her heart broken by the same guy over and over, but will no longer put up with it. The part of the song I chose to use is in the beginning when she says,

All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around, I've been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down, and it's taking me this long baby but I figured you out and you're thinking we'll be fine again but not this time around.
