I created this gif using imgflip.com. I learned how to put photos together to create a moving picture and adjusted the speeds that the frames would move from picture to picture.

Installation art is used to make people feel something about the art piece, not only acknowledge it. Photography is used in installation art by taking different photographs and placing them together to create a deeper message. My favorite installation artist of the four we looked at was Annette Messager because she had a larger variety of installation pieces, all of which seemed to have a deeper meaning than first obvious to the eye. She attaches her photographs to the walls with string, as well as her other installations, such as the clawed gloves in the picture to the right.
Elena Kalis and Zena Holloway are both underwater photographers. Kalis tends to photograph younger girls wearing pretty dresses. Holloway photographs men and women of all ages in several different scenarios and wearing a wide range of outfits, from mermaid tails to suits. I personally enjoy Elena Kalis' work more because of the lighting in the water that causes the color of the objects and clothing of the subjects to almost glow. In the above photograph, Kalis incorporates very good lighting as well as the Rule of Thirds.
Some tips for portrait photography include getting closer to the subject, seeking balance in the environment (background), and maybe even taking candids. In order for a portrait to be successful, the person must feel comfortable with their picture taken, as well as engaged in a conversation to bring out an unknown side. A few types of portraits include casual portraits, environmental portraits and group portraits. It is also important to ask familiar subjects and get details on people before you photograph. This makes the process easier, less awkward, and the likeliness of getting a good portrait are increased.
Both the portraits above were taken using natural lighting as practice for the Faces of GW project. The first photograph only shows a portion of the subject's face, but there is light in the eye and the background is blurred. I like it because of how close up it is. The second portrait is of the subject's whole face, and there is light in both the eyes. However, I feel like I could have improved by blurring the background more so as not to distract from the focal point.
Watermarks are a way to prevent your photograph from being plagiarized. They are A watermark is a personalized "stamp" of a person's name or company. Watermarks are used to differentiate photos so they can't be plagiarized. In the photograph shown above, I chose "Evie Jurich" as my watermark. I chose this because I like the font, and it lets people know that it is my photo. I made this watermark on Photoshop.
Plagiarism is defined as taking someone else's work or their ideas and calling it your own work. In photography, plagiarism takes place when a photographer retakes a photo with the same elements and ideas as another photographer. Plagiarism can be prevented in 4 different ways: using watermarks, including in-camera copyright, hiding the original size of an image, and paying for rights.
The above photos were practice for our Faces of GW project. I positioned both my subjects so that there was light in both the eyes, and blurred the background for emphasis on their faces.
The purpose of landscape photography is to capture nature in a new way and make it look unique. Some tips for taking landscape photos is to incorporate the Rule of Thirds and leading lines, use a framed focal point, be willing to break rules, and consider your background. The photographs above are not at all professional. They were taken without much time or thought put into them, as it was only a practice. In order to make these images stronger, I would chose just one focal point instead of several. Also, I would work on the lighting and composition.
Landscape photographer Galen Rowell mostly captures images of bodies of water, most commonly lakes. As a child, Rowell was very familiar with wandering around in nature, and naturally took a liking to the beauty around him. He began photographing landscapes to share his life in the wilderness with his family and friends. It grew into more than just a hobby, it became his passion. http://www.mountainlight.com/rowellg.html
