Posted on October 14, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography Here are the photos I took during our 798 field trip: “Yellow” Photographs I chose the photos I did for the yellow pictures because I think they fit the requirement of being inspired by an abstract photographer while having my own style. Although the images aren’t exactly in the style of Angie McMonigal, the artist I chose, since some of my photos are in color while his are all black and white, I include simil

Posted on September 15, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography Formal elements are the different aspects and styles in photography, including line, shape pattern, texture, tone, and focus. Lines are the clear imaginary lines that lead your eyes. They can be straight or curved. In the photos below, the straight and diagonal lines of the road and railroad tracks lead your eyes. Shape is the combination of geometric and organic shapes. In the photo below, the shape of the

Posted on October 25, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography I chose this image because I love the texture of the wall and the outstanding contrasts with the letter and gray background. I think the texture is the most important because the texture is very apparent and can create the general mood of the photograph. I also like how the shape is positioned excitingly to create depth and make the piece more interesting. Siskind’s photos are abstract because although you cou

Posted on October 25, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography RED PHOTOGRAPHS These are my three “red” images, chosen from the “green” ones, to reveal the three that best relate to Angie McMonigal and show my vision. Out of the three photographs, the image I would like to highlight is the first and second photographs. These two photographs are similar to one of Siskind’s photos I evaluated in the blog post Sets 2: Artist Selection because of the deep contrast in the text

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography I chose this photo because I liked the feeling of a collaboration between nature and the city. I wanted the tone of the building to contrast with the gray sky, with a shadow similar to the sharp peaks of the mountain. The deep contrast between the structure and the background is unusual because the difference is significant. I also like how the shadow is positioned excitingly to create depth and make the piece

Posted on September 7, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography Ithink the definition of “abstruse photography” is basically “reinventing a familiar world” and “looking at an object from a new perspective.” Most common photographs reproduce the real world, but abstract photographs take our eyes in different directions. Looking at the world in a less specific way, or maybe looking the object more specific, exploring new things, applying light and shadow in different ways,

Posted on September 5, 2023 by Jenny under Uncategorized If someone asks me, “Can you take a wrong picture?” the answer is absolutely yes. To be exact, I think all the pictures I take are wrong. Rather, I think it is more difficult to take a picture that is not wrong. Photography is also a kind of art that expresses the artist’s thoughts and feelings. Therefore, there is no rule set in photography. But I think there is always something to keep. I think there should always be

Posted on October 17, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography Aaron Siskind is perhaps one of the best-known abstract photographers and pioneers of the Abstract photograph movement. As a New York City native, Siskind began his career as a social documentary photographer but continued emphasizing modernist, abstract elements within his works from the 1940s on. Characteristics in Siskind’s Work Close-up composition: The photos are fairly close-up to the point where you can

Posted on September 25, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography Below is a Photo Safari I conducted to determine which composition of photographs is the most successful and abstract. Usually, I just freely took various angles of pictures of what I wanted to take; this time, it took a lot of time to make the same composition perfectly because I had to take an image according to the set design angle.

Posted on November 10, 2023 by Jenny under Photography Alex Webb The reason why I chose this artist: I have chosen Alex Webb as my inspiration for street photography as his framing and attention to background are remarkable. I enjoy the normality in the setting that he uses and the clear, to-the-point style of photography. His simple ideas of capturing what she sees while paying attention to colors in a scene create coordination. Furthermore, I think he has an iconic use of b

Posted on December 12, 2023 by Jenny under My Identity Project, Photography Connecting: My Identity Title: Happiness in my daily life Description: It is a picture that shows what kind of life I am living by discovering myself in my daily life. It may be an adaptation to an unfamiliar place, but it may be a daily picture of myself looking happy to others. These are all pictures taken by people who are seamlessly connected with me. I think my identity is socializing. I was hun

Posted on September 7, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography Q:What do you think is meant by “Abstract photography can be defined as capturing images in which the subject isn’t the most interesting element?” A: I think it is meant by abstract photographies are mainly based on using devices and tools that are not directly related to actual real objects. The abstract photography uses perspective, movement, and light to transform a world familiar to us into an unexpected,

Posted on November 10, 2023 by Jenny under Photography 3Techniques 1. Working on the Scene Essentially, working the Scene means taking multiple photos from one angle, location, or of one object. This is done to have a selection of images, a minimum of 1000 photos total. 2. Capture Gestures Gestures can be facial expressions, hand movements, or someone slumped at a cafe doing work. It is essential to capture gestures as they can convey various emotions, creating an interesting

Posted on September 15, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography Perhaps the photographer who took this picture was interested in the shadow on the object and took the picture. It also seems to have been taken around a disk object with a round curved line opposite to the rough surface of the object felt through the photograph. The V-shaped pattern formed as the light passes through the bent wall also seems to have been noted. If I were the photographer, I would name the p

My brother works as a soldier, and my father works in the House of Lords. My hobby is eating sweet desserts, and I love writing, especially novels. I grew up as a loving child in my family and was loved by my brother and parents from an early age. And this love is maintained until now. I think my family is probably the h

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Jenny under ABSTRACTION, Photography Angie McMonigal’s architectural photography is a visual indulgence as she gives a warm and organic nature to the inanimate buildings she meets while wandering the streets. McMonigal is challenged by every building she deems worthy of her vision because you can see diverse styles in her abstractions. Every structure differs from the others, yet her style is still tangible in each of them. Whether she goes for co
