 In photography, each of us needed to study a photographer and replicate their work by using our surroundings and environment. I am focusing on and learning about Byron Jorjorian who is famous for his work in floral and botanical photography. Throughout this project, I believe that I have discovered and developed the skill of using macro photography to take up close pictures of flowers and creating a blurry background to isolate the flower. In this portfolio, I chose the best images that are accurate to Byron Jorjorian's work. This cohesive portfolio has a variety of flowers with tons of color in each picture to make each one unique. In my collection, there are natural backgrounds and no human-made objects. I still have a lot more to learn, but I am delighted and proud of the work that I had done.

This week in photography each of us created our fourth draft for this new project. I am focusing on and learning about Byron Jorjorian who is famous for his work in floral and botanical photography. Our goal was to replicate the authors work by using our environment. There were a variety of necessities that needed to be included in this project to create his recipe. First I needed to take pictures of a variety of flowers. Then I needed to use the right camera with the correct lens to take a photograph of the flowers. Then I had to square all the images and edit them. There is a lot of vibrant colors in each picture. As well there is a natural vibe since the background doesn't contain any man-made objects. This is my favorite draft because of the cohesive composition and variety of colors in each picture.

This week in photography each of us created our third draft for this new project. I am focusing on and learning about Byron Jorjorian who is famous for his work in floral and botanical photography. Our goal was to replicate the authors work by using our environment. There were a variety of necessities that needed to be included in this project to create his recipe. First I needed to take pictures of a variety of flowers. Then I needed to use the right camera with the correct lens to take a photograph of the flowers. Then I had to square all the images and edit them. There is a lot of vibrant colors in each picture. As well there is a natural vibe since the background doesn't contain any man-made objects.  One challenge that I had was the software I was using to edit. This made it very difficult to actually change the exposure, temptation, and saturation of my photos. My goal for the next draft is to get crisper images and develop my skills when focusing on the subject of each picture.

Artist Statement:

This week in photography each of us individually studied a photographer. I specifically learned about Byron Jorjorian who is famous for his work in floral and botanical photography. Our goal was to replicate the authors work by using our environment. There were a variety of necessities that needed to be included in this project to create his recipe. First I needed to take pictures of a variety of flowers. Then I needed to use the right camera with the correct lens to take a photograph of the flowers. Then I had to square all the images and edit them. I had mostly struggled with discovering ways to manipulate the camera to create a blur effect in the background of the photo. I had also struggled to find a variety of flowers within my surroundings. In my next draft for this project, I would like to get crisper photos and make the background even more blurry to make the flowers stand out.
