Artist Statement

My digital photography portfolio has many different projects that I worked on in class. It starts all the from the beginning of the semester. These projects were crucial in my learning in this class. They helped me develop my skills one bit at a time. As you can see the way my recent projects came out.

I feel like this portfolio was a unique way to show my masterpieces. They seemed to come out really good. I also had some feedback from my fellow classmates and Miss Cook. They helped me to adjust and think in different ways on how to do my things. Overall the portfolio was a great way to hear people’s opinions and learn from my mistakes.

I have learned many things over the course of this semester. I had the chance to use some of my skills from the first two quarters. Some cool and new things that I had the chance to learn were Shutter Speed, ISO, and Metering. By using these new techniques I was able to enhance my photos into coming out better. I feel like if I was the most successful with using the ISO. It’s a great way to bring light into the picture.

I had many struggles with my photos. It’s just the thought process that I have a hard time with. There are days were it is hard to come up with different pictures and ideas because of the environment. But there are many other times were things just pop up in my head and make them a little easier. But other than that I feel like if I have mastered most of the things in Photoshop.

What influenced me the most was trying to make my pictures a little bit more unique but to also capture my personality. I have seen the growth in my picture taking abilities and the angles I take my pictures in. Being in this class has made my picture taking skill to another level. Seeing the feedback from other people has made me learned. Having this portfolio just showed me how I progressed.

David, you come across to me as a very consistant person. You always get a drink before class, you always do pretty good with your artwork. I have enjoyed seeing everything you have done this semester, and year. You look at the world in a different way then I, so most of what you do has a refreshing unique tingle to it.
I appreciate you hard work. I hope you continue developing your artist. It has been a great joy to have you in class this year!
