Movie Moments


Inspired by Cindy Sherman, a contemorary photographer who took photos of herself starring in movies that never existed.

Scream: Scary movie

Its about a group of high school students who are stalked by a killer. They have parties and try to stick together to try and figure out who the killer is.



In my scene I am the girl who gets the very first call from the killer, who stalks her. She is the very first one to die and to get a phone call.

Chocolate frog


For valentines day we turned frogs into chocolate. I thought this project was neat and very creative. I learned how to make duplicates and how to use the dropper to pick colors also.

Shadows and reflections



In these excercises we learned how to create shadows and reflections to help us create more realistic artwork. A new tool we learned was layer masks. The thing we learned here that can help me in the future by making my picture look more realistic with great shadows and reflections.

Aged Photo


In this project we used one of our frame photographs to practice using photoshop to create specific effects.

Balance with Frames


We were given a frame and told we had to be in our compositon, it had to be black and white and it had to have balance.

I created balance by having two black frames on each side and one white frame in the middle while I was at an angle and more to the left. The outfit i wore also shown balance because it was black and white.

This picture shows no balance.

Random Object


We were each assigned a random object to photograph. We could choose to have it in color or black & white. We were to focus on "The Three C's

According to my peers, one thing I did well was having the doll in center on a tree. It was stated several times that the colors of the doll bring out the picture. One thing they suggested I work on was the background, because of the parking lot, and it took away from my focus which was the doll. I agree with what they said because I felt the background was a major flaw in the picture and could have been handled differently.

my favorite project from last semester

This is a picture that shows emotion. Our project was to show emotion through our pictures by changing the color. In this picture I feel i was in a calm mood, therefore I used a yellowish color to show this emotion. The reason I like this photo is because I like how the dark lashes, eyebrows and hair are emphasized in this picture.
