Artist Statement

On my portfolio, you will see many interesting pictures. Each picture has a specific compositional trick. Each compositional trick helps you understand the image more, and takes you straight to the emphasis. I feel that my portfolio needs more effort in the beginning because I felt like I did not put much effort into it when I started. Moving up to the rest of the last pictures posted I saw that I had put more strength into them. The reason I think I started to do better is because I combined everything I learned and made a better picture. The best one is still to come.

During this semester I learned how to take a good photo. Also that’s there is many rules on taking a perfect picture. Some of the compositional tricks that I learned are rule of thirds, framing, simplicity, macro, leading lines, etc. The most successful project that I thought I did is my social issue. I felt like I had the idea and placed it in the correct picture format. I did have a little trouble at first but I figured out in the end. What I struggled more was on the rule of thirds pictures. I need a little more of practice on it.

In my future I can improve by taking better photographs. This will help me when I choose to take a family picture and not looking horrible. I’ve seen my improvement in the photographs that I took recently. Like on using the rule of thirds and focusing on my emphasis. My artwork, in my opinion has improved throughout the days. I have learned that everyone’s beauty is not the outside is what’s inside you.
