Quarter Term Portfolio

Due 2/12/13

We had to choose 3 photos that we took or manipulated as pieces part of our midterm portfolio. 

For this piece I used a photograph I took in the fall at The College of New Jersey. I really liked the composition of this piece and how you are able to see the leaves, and litter that the lake is filled with. I manipulated the photo by boosting the colors to make the Minute Maid wrapper stand out more when put up against the deep blue colors. I also put a lot of contrast on the photograph in photoshop.

I choose this piece because I believe it looks the most realistic out of all my manipulated photographs that I pieced together in one composition. The floor originally was from a photograph I took in Long Beach Island on the boardwalk. The alley and buildings were from a photograph I took at Rhode Island School of Design. Lastly, the graffiti walls were taken on a road in New Jersey. I tried making the floor and the buildings look as much as possible life-like and realistic. I added shadows and used the stamp tool in photoshop.

For this piece I used a photograph I took of a lake at The College of New Jersey. I manipulated the photograph by boosting the colors and contrast to make the water look more of a vibrant, icy blue color.
