This project was very hard for me to think of an idea for since I had very few people to photograph. The concept I came up with is that in the equestrian world, there are people that "work" their way through it, since it is an expensive activity, and there are people that pay their way through it by buying the fanciest horses and showing at very expensive shows. I decided to photograph my friend who is a little bit of both in the equestrian world. She bought this pony from the kill pen and worked with him to train him to be the pony he became. She then qualified for Pony Finals (one of the hardest things to do) with him and then sold him, so that he could teach another little girl. After she got the money from him, she bought a fancy horse to show competitively. Now onto the pictures, I developed my art making skills and collaborated during this "photo shoot". I developed my art making skills because I learned how to use the lighting to my advantage. I learned that shooting at "golden hour" really makes a difference in how the images turned out. In the two vertical images, I love the lighting and the way it draws attention to the subjects. I collaborated with Hannah to figure out which images worked best together and in which order they should be put. Overall, I am happy with how the project turned out.
Tori T and Dani:
It was challenging to figure out how to make it symmetrical. We overcame our challenges by talking about what we were doing and how we were doing it. Coloring it in was probably the easiest part of the butterfly. We learned how to communicate while we were working. We also learned that team work makes the dream work. I really enjoyed this project. At first it was hard to think of an idea, but I was really happy with how my photos turned out. During this project I developed my art making skills and I reflected. I developed my art making skills by creating a really shallow depth of field and trying to get just the butterfly in focus and the background really blurry. I reflected while I was taking the photos. The photos turned out really nice while I was just quickly looking at my camera screen. The lighting was working really well so I just kept shooting at different angles to get different types of pictures. Overall I was very pleased with how the project turned out.
