Project 7- Alternative Process through Digital Means

For Project 7, I went around downtown and through the Pearl District to capture images of buildings and tree's because I thought the effects would look really cool on that type of photography. I didn't edit my images too much, just to fit each category (saturation, vibrance, black and white..etc)

Project 6-Multiple Image Techniques


For Project 6, we learned three different techniques (Panorama, Multiple Exposure & HDR) It required taking multiple different photos and made them all fit together. I took most of these photos downtown and didn't edit it too much because I really liked how my panorama and multiple exposure turned out...I mainly just edited the brightness and contrast. For my HDR, I brought all the colors out and edited each aspect of it highlighting the main color and vibrance. I took my HDR photo on the highest floor of a hotel room over a sunny weekend in Portland last week. I enjoyed taking these photos and all the techniques involved in Project 6.

Project 4-Balance and Contrast







For Project 4 (Balance and Contrast), our task was to take a few pictures that were different and somewhat similar and to be able to tell a story with diptych's and triptych's. Also, we were able to create different types of kaleidoscopes using images we took on the walking field trip to PSU. I took photos of a wall that had a unique look to it a piece of artwork I saw and, a bench. I had a lot of fun creating diptych's triptych's and, kaleidoscope's using cool effects. I mostly changed, the brightness,  background color and clarity. I did this to show the contrast between the diptychs and triptychs. I mostly changed the background color for the kaleidoscopes. I took these photos near PSU (kaleidoscopes and diptych's). My triptych's I took in California over Thanksgiving break at the Rose Bowl Stadium. I thought it was a cool atmosphere so I decided to snap a few pics.

Mood Photo

For this photo I brought out the background such as the clouds by highlighting the blue and purple colors. I thought this really showed the mood and made it a calm and peaceful setting to the image. 

Project 3- Color and Grids

For this project we had to explore a variety of colors. We used certain colors to highlight main aspects of the photo we had taken. We figured out how color affects the mood and how it can be used for emphasis on an image. Once we had a photos, we were able tog on light room and use all these techniques with color to make grids.

Color Post



Mood: I think the photographer used the amount of light they had in this field to set the mood and really create a dark yet relaxing mood to this image. 


Tone: The photographer used the reflection of the tree's around the water to set the tone. This tone is soothing yet brings out the color around the image.
