Ezra's Photo Portfolio

for this project I completed a photography scavenger hunt to practice observation skills. I was drawn to the winter enviroment of January and sought to capture my subjects contextualized within the frozen world.

Project Description

I found developing a concept and finding an enviroment for light painting dificult. Through this experimenation however, I learned how to take advantage of long exposure times which I applied to future work

For this project I was tasked with presenting 12 final images of one subject containing various composiional elements. I for the first time worked with a single concept to tie the body of work together. I developed my concept with naming, framing, and image sequencing.

Scury

Birdseye

Rise

To acheive the moody portrait I learned to fully manipulate all elements of exposure and lighting manualy. I also developed inerpersonal skills, building a working relationship wih the subject in a colaborative process

For street photography I had to fully apply previous skills on the fly while getting comforable photographing around strangers. The requirement of selecting some black and white photos trained my eye for string contrast and composition. I stayed prepared for every opportunity keeping my camera with me at all times. Using apeture priority and AI Servo AF enabled me to take quick shots even while passing subjects on my bike.

For Project 7 I was assigned to select a photobook and take inspiration from the photographer. I chose Berenice Abbott and atempted documentary photography. I worked with new scales and perspectives

For project 8 I had to present a zine of abstrat photography enfisizing photo sequencing. My concept developed around manipulaing raw photos in audacity in order to futher obfuscate them. this process degraded the images while allowing me to warp, combine, and transform each image.
