The four photo sets above each tell a different story. To do this i used help from 2 students who are not in this photography class. I think this helped alot because they were not trying to learn this concept of photography, so their emotions and actions are not only genuine but also free and unrestricted. ~ and fun (: ~ I found that using the B&W setting was best to convey the story. If you take a close look and think about what your seeing, you'll get the story :)

MircoWorks
This weeks concept was 'mircoworks'. For this concept we use figures or toys or dolls and put them in a "real-life" like scene to make the story come to life. At first, for this assignment, i used the toy knights and tried to put them into a fighting scene using a computer background. What i could have done more with that would be trying to use more angles on the figures. The second theme i tried to do was a Star-Wars type theme, but i could never get the brightness of the computer to work well. The last thing i did for this concept was with plastic frogs. I think the shots i did with the frogs were not only the best, but also the most amusing. For the frog shots i went outside and used the area under a tree. I tried to make the most life-like scenes.

Richard Avedon portraits
The photos in this set are using a concept of the great photographer, Richard Avedon. Using his concepts of not only shooting up close, but also black&white with a white background to capture his subjects and make them the true centre of his masterpieces. Unlike other photographers, Avedon captures the vulnerability of his subjects by creating a scene with no distractions. He also asks questions to make the subject think, capturing that. For this assignment I tried to do the same thing. I used a black&white background and tried to ask as many questions without crossing the boundaries he was known for crossing.
