Kayak Fisherman

This photo shows the environment of a kayaker in the water on a still day. I am using this in addition to the other environmental portrait for inspiration on my reshoot of my life photograph.

Life Photo Reshoot Inspiration

This photo is awesome to me. It's an environmental portrait which reminds me of life as we know it...Candid and natural. I want to use this concept in my reshoot of "life", a photo assignment for class.

Cabela's Advertisement

This ad by Cabela's has strong text, and a filled up composition. It is what I referred to to help me create a mock advertisement for class involving wildlife conservation. I used the small logo and big text.

Untitled by Sudipto Das

This photo is by Sudipto Das and was awarded Best Outdoor Photograph by Daily Mail UK. It shows a pack of camels led by a man who has an image of wisdom and leadership in this photo. The warm color represents the sun at eye level, setting and ending a presumably long day.

Vietnam by Hoang Hiep Nguyen

This photograph was taken and edited by Hoang Hiep Nguyen in Vietnam and was named best photographer of 2013 by Sony. It looks like a beautiful painting which is why it's more than just a photograph...It's art.

Ancient Temple of the War by Liu Yi

This was shot by Liu Yi in China and shows a worker smiling despite his gloomy surroundings. The shot shows emotion and is strong with the temple entrance framing him.

Knurled Juniper by Brice Herbert

This photo is by Brice Herbert and is called "Knurled Juniper". It really shows the importance of contrast and demonstrates proper blacks, whites, and neutrals.

This photo was shot and edited by Evan Atwood, up and coming photographer..He uses photo manipulation and his shutter speed to create this image.

Untitled by Caitlin Ross

This piece is untitled. It was shot by Caitlin Ross (Flickr member). It shows the importance of foreground and filling the shot, leaving just the right amount of negative space.

This photo comes from Jon Slegel and shows a cityscape of Singapore, similar to what we did in class. The color is very balanced.

This shot was done by Jon Slegel and has a lot of good color. It is called "Night Ride Home" and portrays those late nights going home, reflecting on the day.

Beckon. by David Talley

This is another piece by David Talley. It is very interesting with the subject a bit to the right, but her dress is blowing to the other side of the photo. Her hand is also guiding your eye to the left side, but you cannot help but notice her painful, sad appearance with her face covered on top of the ladder. Colors are lifeless, but I think the colors make it an effective photo. I really like how Talley's photographs do not seem overly 'photoshopped' and have a natural film feel to them. This photo is a great example of proper composition.

Spooky Photograph by David Talley

 This piece comes from a photographer by the name of David Talley. The work is haunting and spooky. The image looks like it was edited to look like film or it was film and scanned in to edit. I say this because you can see the dust and hair that comes up on film negatives.I like the subjects and the eerie feeling I get from the photograph.It is good with contrast and relates to how we edit in class. Levels are balanced, and the shadows bring out the spook factor. This could work as a black and white photo, but I like the cool color scheme in this.
