Assignment 1- Brittany Baumgarten

Perspective











Lighting



Texture





Lighting

Lighting of a photo can really change the view on what the photo looks like and the feeling and mood the photo is giving to the viewer.  Lighting in a photo can bring attention to the main focus of the photo. I photographed the flowers in different lightings. I used a lamp to shine the light on the flowers, I covered the lighting in the room to change the lighting and I also opened the door to outside where I was taking the photo to bring in natural sunlight. My favorite photo when using the element of light was the one where I controlled where the light on the lamp was shining on the flowers. I was able to make the shadows of the flowers really big by moving the lamp farther away and small by moving the lamp closer to the flowers. 

Texture

Texture is a very significant element in photography. Texture can bring concentration or reality to a photo. I feel like when texture is presented in a photo it actually looks like it is real and right in front of your eyes and that is a not a photograph. When I was taking pictures of the texture I tried to get very close to the flower so all of the different textures were visible. The flowers had many different textures. I took pictures of fake flowers in my living room, when I took the texture pictures up close so you can definitely tell they were fake by the material they are made out of. My perspective pictures were mostly taken from far away so you couldn’t tell that they were fake.
