Black & White

For my first black and white photo, I went with a classic locker picture. Taking the photo on an angle gives a more pattern look, and ads more to the picture. I used photoshop to convert the picture to Black and White, and used cutout filter, to make it look more cartoon-ish.


My second picture was takin in the Fitness room with my Nikon D3000, using my Sb-600 speedlight. I put the flash on low so it wouldn't have much glare on the weights. Using photoshop, I also converted this into black and white, but with an urban/snapshot style. This really makes the photo show the detail, and you can notice where the focal point of the picture is.


For my final black and white picture, I used a fire hydrant on the school yard. I used a gradient effect in photoshop to fade one side from black, to the main focus and the photo.

Media Arts Task #1

My Name is Dylan McDermott, I am 16 years old and I want to become a photographer when I am older. I promote for a company called Entity Events, witch organizes All Ages events in clubs in the Tri-City Area. Since I want to become a photographer, I would like to be able to create art that is seen from a different point of view, so that I can look at objects differently from others to capture great photographs.

Josh Sommers - I thought that Josh Sommers is a very creative person who is able to create amazing artwork. His imagination is really wild, and I think that is what makes him such a spectacular artist.

Studio Rules - The required rules for this class are very reasonable, and I agree with them completely. I think that they set very good standards for the semester.

"No great artist ever sees things the way they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist." - Oscar Wilde (author)

This quote makes me see that every artist has there own way of looking at things. If every artist looked at everything the same, they would all create the same kind of art.
