Rules of Compostion Shoot

This is my favorite image from my first "Rues of Composition" photoshoot. In the photoshoot, I was experimenting and practicing the basic rules of composition. I mostly took pictures of nature because it is something I enjoy as well as something that is easy to take pictures of. I went to the woods on a walk to take my photos. When setting up my scenes, I focused of the rule of thirds as much as I could by avoiding the middle. When venturing through the woods, I looked for the beauty in everyday things that isn't always recognized. My voice as a photographer was shown through this photoshoot with the bright, happy colors. It also brought me outside to view things that I haven't even seen before. I think one of my strengths is texture or pictures that are up close. I wouldn't change anything about this photoshoot.

Genius???

1.) Wolfgang is an extremely talented artist. I feel that he didn't do anything wrong. By fooling the art world, I feel the worst thing that he has done is that he took the money of wealthy people, which they don'd desperately need. The artwork is still beautiful, even if it isn't "name brand".

2.) Ones role in this work with that much talent is up to the individual. They should not be pressured into living a life they don't enjoy just because they have a gift.

3.) If I was a gifted genius like Wolfgang, I would most likely do the same thing that he did. He made a lot of money off of the paintings he created. One thing that I would do different is put my own name on the paintings. I would also add a little something extra to all of the artwork so I couldn't get punished for forgery. Lastly, I feel that Wolfgang would not have got the name that he has for himself if he was to create his own artwork. More people are most likely to hear about an amazing artist who could trick art critiques into believing their art is the work of Picasso rather that a random artist off the streets.

My Favorite Image

This is a piece by Ansel Adams. It strikes me because it has a great sense of space. Just looking at it, I have a sense of freedom. The point of interest are obviously the large rocks and natural land forms. This image draws me in because of the path which uses leading lines to draw your eyes to the focus. This picture influences my voice as a photographer to incorporate a sense of feeling in my photos. If I was Ansel Adams, there is nothing i would change about this image.
