Extra Credit
  • These objects represent me because they all are involved in my life on way or another. My Hydroflask represents me because I am always concerned about my health and diet. I am always using my phone to communicate and as a school tool. My necklace is a remembrance of my grandma. My shoes show that I live an active healthy life and I love to travel. The quote "People do not lack strength they lack will." reminds me that I am capable of achieving all my goals if I set my mind to it. Lastly, my bluetooth headphones represents my love for music and that I am constantly moving so I can't always be connected to my phone.
  • I like that there is a balance between the photo that even if it was cut in half vertically I still have half the photo to represent me.
  • Elements of Art: Form & Texture Principle of Design: Balance
  • I could improve on changing the organization of the objects and I could of done the picture outside or somewhere i always hangout like the gym, home or school.
  • I think in the years from now I will have different objects maybe the same type like a different water bottle but for the most part different objects because I will be out of school and hopefully in my own home or traveling outside of California. Since I will hopefully move on my own time and be more independent I will have more objects that I use on a daily basis like a car or a wallet.

Advertising Project



  1. I used shoes because it was a clothing product and when I grow up I want to be sponsored by a clothing company and I want to be able to rep the brand on the streets and online.
  2. I did achieve my goal because I wanted something athletic related and something clothing related.
  3. The color scheme I used was cool colors (Blue and Violet) and I used direct lighting.

Still Life

  1. This still life represents youthfulness and color.
  2. The lighting in my image is direct.
  3. To improve on my composition I could have moved the black blanket so it would't have blocked my shot.



  1. This still life represents a harsh truth that might change your thoughts and your ways of living life.
  2. The lighting in my image is direct.
  3. To improve on my composition I think I should of moved the flower on the left so then it would of been blurry and the center piece would be the only one in focus.



  1. This still life represents color and joy.
  2. This lighting is direct.
  3. I think I could have fixed the background so there wouldn't have been any wrinkles or folds in the cloth.

Bringing Action to Life sequence


  1. My favorite part of this photo is that we can slowly see more of her as she gets farther to the right of the screen.
  2. The most difficult part of this project was choosing the photos that were clear and didn't overlap weirdly.
  3. The easiest part of this project was choosing which angle to shoot the subject because there are only a limited amount of angles to shoot from to get the motion effect.

Shooting Water in Motion

Phone Photos


1- This wasn't too difficult to shoot because the water moved slow enough that the picture would turn out clear.
2- We first did a test run on hoes the water moves and we reviewed those shots. Then we changed the order of the colors to get the maximum amount of color and to not just end up with a big black blob.

1- It was not easy to get the shot because I thick that photos turn out the best when my setting is outside. Every time I use my android phone inside it can looks too dark or it can look fuzzy or blurry. So inside this dark setting it was hard to focus my camera and get a shot that can see the drop. Also timing the drop with the phone was really hard because for my burst mode I was limited to only 30 drops.
2- The thing I didn't like about using burst mode was that some of the photos would turn out blurry and it wouldn't catch the moment I wanted to picture. 

DSLR Photos

1-Yes it was easy to get the shot because there was better lighting than the phone lighting and we had more control over when we wanted to take the shot.
2-I think that shooting without flash helps not get the glare of the light in the water. Also, it helped get all the color that the flash might have blurred out.


1- It was easier to get the shot on the DSLR than a phone because we had more control on the timing of the shot and it was also on a tripod so we didn't have to worry about the shakiness of our hands.
2-The part I didn't like about shooting the water with the flash was that there was a glare and it would take away some of the color from the background.
