LIVING PORTRAITS
For this project, I found a nice poem about the feelings involved with a quiet corner. Because I don’t have many willing models in my household, I decided to be my own star for the journey. Armed with a DSLR, a tripod, and a warm table lamp as my lighting, I went line by line…
220 FINAL PROJECT
This video I made to express my gratitude to the great experiences I have had over the past year of my life. I edited it to be a 4:5 ratio video, most optimal for posting on a social media platform. I like to think of this kind of like an homage to my freshman year.…
SURVIVING 220
For this project, we were tasked to make an interview style video where we described how we survived COM 220 and gave advice to future students of the class. I gave it my best shot.
Reflection of Digital Designs
This graphic made by the UCLA Athletic Department is a great example of digital design. They lean heavily on repetition and proximity to make this collage of people into a pyramid. This pyramid shapes adds a sense of unity to the picture that might be missing if they weren’t put in proximity with each other.…
Influential Professional Designer
For my influential professional designer, I have chosen the Nebraska Football graphics department. Nebraska has one of the most storied college football teams in the nation. Over their 118 years of existence, Nebraska holds claim to 5 national titles, as well as one of the most loyal fan bases in college football, having sold out…
Influential Photographs
This photo is meaningful to me because it was taken by my good friend, Peter Fortunato. Peter is the person who got me into photography/videography, and seeing him grow has been super rewarding for me. This picture has extremely satisfying coloring and lighting in the skies, and makes for a beautifully composed picture. I love…
Bracketing Test
Bracketing: the general technique of taking several shots of the same subject using different camera settings. For this assignment, I had to take pictures of the same subject while changing one setting at a time to see the effect it had on the lighting of the scene. It is clear through this assignment that ISO…
Color Correction
Original Photos Color Corrected For these photographs, I did not want to make any super drastic changes to the composition, as I liked how they looked in their raw form. I did, however, come into the editing with the goal to make the colors pop a bit more as well as add a bit more…
Pulitzer Prize Photography
Matt Rainey’s work with The Star Ledger after the tragic fire at Boland Hall in Seton Hall, NJ is outstanding. His use of black and white as well as close-ups on faces does a great job in helping to convey great emotion through his photographs. The first photograph I included because I think it does…
50 Photos
Top 10 (No Particular Order) I chose these photos as my top ten because all of them are well in focus and exposed. I also think that these separate from the rest of the photos I took because they have interesting compositions going on within them. I think they do a good job of incorporating…
Famous Photograph
This photograph, taken by Morry Gash during the 2010-2011 NBA season, is very impressive to me. I appreciate the framing of the two players, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. It is very pleasing to see Wade running with his arms out in celebration without even looking at the dunk that is happening behind him. I…
