Color

For the Color Project, I aimed to find color schemes and patterns in everyday objects.  Using my color wheel that I created, I found analogous, monochromatic, complementary and triadic colors in things around me.  I believe my strongest photograph is the last one.  It follows the rules of staying by the triadic theme, while not looking like it was set up for the picture.  In addition, there is an interesting angle that brings the viewer further into the image, and the shallow depth of field gives it an interesting touch too.

The Unexpected Moment






I think my strongest photograph was the last one.  It is taken from an unusual angle, creating a unique look, unlike the others.  I also like the color palate, how the girl's outfit matches the piano, mostly black, but a little bit of white.  Another thing that I like about this photo is that the viewer cannot see the girl's face, it makes it kind of mysterious.

I think my weakest photo is the one of the two girls looking up from the piano.  Even though it is pretty unexpected, it seems kind of like a repitition of my favorite photograph, the picture of the girl playing the piano.   Also the amount of white in the background is a bit too much, if I were to retake and re-edit this, I would tone down the white.
