5 Self-Portraits

In photobooth, there are many cool filters and effects. Below are some self-portraits I took experimenting with them.

black and white for a simple selfie.

I chose these filters because I thought they looked the best & the coolest with the original lighting in the room and the different colors on my clothes.

Elements of art, at school!

         Pittsburg high has quite a few examples of elements of art. Our building has contrasting colors and different shapes, mostly various sized squares.Our snack bar's windows are also various shaped rectangles and squares. The arches you walk under when going to class frame the hallways and stairs. The pirate fountain has a lot of different textures, which makes it pop and look really cool. The picnic benches make straight lines, and the wooden benches make sharp angles.

Composition in Photography

     Composition is the way you display your subject in your photo.It also means 'putting together', as in the way you arrange things to fix the photo, or how elements are positioned in a frame. Lines, shape, color, texture and depth are a few of the types of elements of design. When taking pictures, you should pay attention to the lines and shapes in your environment. There are no set lines that exist in nature, but things like the edges of a sidewalk or telephone poles or tree trunks serve the same purpose. The way they frame the main object can dramatically change the focus point and the picture as a whole. Color can affect your photo. Different colors sybmbolize different things (red can mean danger, white can mean purity etc.), so you should take that into consideration.
