Magazine Covers Magazine Spreads Magazine Advertisements I looked up many travel magazine covers and their spreads because I know that I want to work on a magazine involved with traveling because I have many good pictures that I took on my trip to Europe. I was really inspired by the layouts of the pages inside travel magazines; the geometric spreads of the travel magazines above. I also really liked the covers and the text in it because all of it worked really well together. The fonts on the cover pages for the travel magazines were of my aesthetics. 

I took this photo at the Louvre in Paris, France. I took this photo from the side angle of the woman running to catch the bubbles. To professionalize the photo, I edited the photo in light room using the auto filter. This made the photo less saturated and have a higher exposure.  I took this photo when I was at the Wax Museum in London. I used light room to adjust  the lighting of the photo to make it look more professional. I also adjusted the tilt of the  photo to make the angle of the photo not sideways. This is my mandarin teacher that I took a photo of to advertise the staff in Lincoln. I took her picture under a semi-dark area, so I used light room and adjusted the lighting of the photo. Then I exported and imported it to photoshop and pasted text to promote Lincoln. I also used a quote from her and one that I believe in.  This commercial cover is for promoting vitamin water. I decided to choose a side view of Cate drinking th...

Commercial Portraits are used for certain businesses to promote a product, cause, or brand. Photographers that shoot commercial portraits usually have a set idea in their mind for attracting an audience to focus on the business. Lancome Company Adidas Company These companies are obviously trying to either sell their product or company. Lancome is trying to advertise their new skin product called Dream Tone and Adidas is just trying to advertise their company.

A fine portrait is not just to capture moments of reality, but following a vision to create a photograph that conveys a message, belief, or emotion.    This photo reminds me of searching for a path to           In this photo, the girl on the ladder is some sort of future because he is on a ladder looking    reaching for something that seems to be light into the distance for something.

Commercial Photography Fine Art Photo The photo of Beyonce in commercial photography is obviously manipulated to be for advertisement purposes. She is on the cover of Vogue magazine and advertising for fashion. This is different from the fine art photo because the commercial one has a totally different purpose. The fine art photo portrays a real and authentic side of Beyonce and her family, whereas the commercial one is about fashion. The position of Beyonce in commercial photography also accentuates her body and fashion, while the fine art photo feels like a natural photo.

I created the first image using a close up of the Chihuly glass garden in Seattle and then I used a picture of me in Hawaii to create this surreal photo. I didn't really have a vision when I was creating this photo, but I played around with size and thought that this was a cool idea.  This photo I created involved a picture of my sister on Mt. Haleakala in Maui and the photos of Cate and Kate were used taken using a green screen. I wanted to make the picture look surreal by manipulating the position I took the photo of Cate and Kate. I also put a glass sculpture in the photo to represent the "sun". I also didn't really have a clear purpose for this photo, I just played around with different concepts and decided that this one was really good.

Vladimir Kush Salvador Dali What is Surrealism? Surrealism was a movement that took place in art during the 20th century. Some famous painters included Salvador Dali and Vladimir Kush. Surrealism is an abstract image that composed of irrational juxtapositions of images.  Farzana Ria This is an example of dreamlike surrealism because it has realistic pieces that are placed with the unrealistic views of how the world really looks. For example the realistic object are the person, desert, and trees. However when it is combined with the sky that shows our solar system, it makes it look surreal. The picture does not look real anymore because we wouldn't see this in real life. Justin Peters This is another example of surrealism because it involves realistic objects that we would see, however as the objects such as the moon and cliff together and he moon turning into sand, it looks surreal. A moon doesn't shatter into sand and...
