Landscape: February 2014 William Patino
I really liked this picture for landscape, because it doesn't just have a really cool waterfall that looks fake, but it also has a cool mountain in the background and a rainbow. I couldn't decide between a waterfall/lake picture or a mountain picture, so I just chose a picture that had both, and this is what I came up with. My favorite part of it is the lighting contrast between the waterfall, and the mountain. It makes the mountain stand out, so your eye still catches it behind the waterfall. The waterfall makes the water look so calm, and like it slides on top of the rocks. |
Current events: August 4th, 2022 Rhett Nelson
This picture was taken during the Lakeside fire. I chose a picture that actually could be related to us, instead of some really famous photographer all the way across the world or something like that. A lot of people I know were affected in some way during this fire, so I chose this because of the powerful impact it had, and how much of an impact any wildfire had. Its a cool shot of the firefighter too, with the flames blurred in the background. |
Politics: Bryce Vickymark April 2012
I don't follow any politics, and it doesn't interest me at all, but I thought this was a cool picture anyway. I'm already drawn to black and white pictures, because I think they look cool. Besides that, pictures with a bunch of people with everyone captures the moment of what they believe in and how they unite with their same beliefs like this. |
Historical Event: Franz Conrad April 1943
For this one, I wanted to go with something super powerful and impactful, and this is what I came up with. It was in the concentration camps during the Holocaust and this boy is surrendering to the Nazis. It came out at me, because I am learning about this exact stuff in English, and it intrigues me. It is another example of something that captures the moment of the horror and sadness of this time period. |
Day-in-the Life: Silvana Carlos 2021
I chose this one, because it is very similar to a picture for my day-in-the-life. I hang out with my cat, Carlos a lot, which is ironic because the last name of the photographer is named Carlos. Anyway, I think its super cute, and reminds me of my own life. The picture itself is cool, because it captures a very normal moment, but does it in a different way, where the background is blurred, and the picture is black and white. |
Travel: Nikki Gosney 2012
This is a picture of women in the streets of Guatemala. I picked this one because I went to Guatemala last year, and I feel like this really captures the whole culture and customs that the locals have. Their clothes, and whatever they are making are just a few examples. I like how the photographer blurs out the background the further you go back, but you can still make out the town, and the other women in the background making food on the streets. |
Fashion/product/brand marketing: Adrianne Pasquerelli 2022
I chose this picture for the brand marketing, because I like Hoka as a company for running shoes, and I think the picture itself is pretty cool. I liked that it was a picture of someone actually running in it, instead of just the shoes itself. It helps it seem more real when wanting to buy something like this. |
Animal: Kallol Mukherjee 2018
I liked this picture, because its crazy that the photographer timed this perfectly where it looks like the rhino is part peacock. Also, you can't forget about the bird in front of the Rhino, it really just sums up the whole picture. The photographer won a Comedy Wildlife Photography award, and in my opinion, it was definitely well earned. |
Portrait: Hajro Iseini 2021
This picture is really cool because I feel like the blue eyes and red hood really stands out. She is what I would expect the live action Red Riding Hood would look like, and I think its really cool. The red in the picture looks so bright, but it really does bring out the blue eyes. To top it all off, I like how the photographer has blurred the background. It wouldn't be as cool if they didn't, in my opinion. |
