Still Life #1

Still Life #3

1. I liked having the continuity of the shoe in all of the images and using various other props to help enhance or detract from the shoe.  The background color is really simple so having the flowers on the simple background made them stand out more.
2. In the first two images I used the soft lighting and in the third image I used the direct light.  I liked the sift light better because there wasn't as much shadow in the image.
3. I mostly adjusted the hue, the saturation, and the contrast of the images.  In the first two images I turned the saturation up and in the third one I unsaturated it.  The first image also has more of a warm hue whereas the other two have more cool colors.
4.  I think that my composition could be improved by having more of a focal point in the image because my props are pretty scattered throughout the images.

Surreal Photoshop

1. My photo is about a baby polar bear who is on a grass patch in the quad at Cal High.
2. It was hard to find a grass patch that wasn't blurry and also fit the angle of the picture I took.
3.  I used layer masks and blending to make my image, I also had to warp the grass to align it a little more with the ground.
4. I think I could make the image more coherent and have all of the images come from the same perspective.

TED Talk

1. What is the most important aspect when creating his work?
His most important aspect when creating his work is capturing an idea instead of capturing a moment.  When combining the photos it is important to make sure that they have the same lighting, same perspective, and the viewer of the image should not be able to tell where the two photos were blended together.
2. What do you find interesting about his work?
I find it interesting how all of his photos have a different idea and they are all portrayed in different ways.  He tries to make all of his photos tell a different sort of story.
