For my editing project I wanted to do something a little different than I had been doing all semester. I went into New York City for part of my assignment and took a lot of pictures thinking I could make it into a final project. I shot pictures of architectural designs. I tried to abstract buildings by including branches in front of the buildings in my picture. I took pictures of people walking on the street to show the kind of people and environment you would find there. Some other shots included graffiti art. As I walked through the city I noticed that there was a lot of art on the building walls and found a lot of it to be very interesting. One shot in particular was of graffiti that covered an entire buildings wall and looked like a mural. I also noticed there was a lot of geometry in the city, especially in the garbage cans with their linear metal build and even in their shadows. At night I took long exposures on weird angles trying to capture the busyness of the city and abstract it a little bit.
After uploading the pictures and sorting through them and narrowing them down to a total of 100 I decided that this would be better suited just for the editing assignment. I worked in the studio at school on a fashion shoot including different colored flowers and clothing/ makeup to match the color of the flowers. I decided to include some of my advanced photography project into this assignment as well to show some of my fashion work. The pictures submitted to this assignment include the behind the scenes “blooper” like pictures of the girls having fun. The lighting was done with trial and error. The background is black to make the girls dresses stand out.
