Danielle Guenther was born in Ohio and moved to New York as she felt it has a busy nature and would provide good photographs.   Guenther is a self taught photographer who says she views "the world through a child's perspective." She is also a mother who is inspired by the energy of her children as they have such "power, enthusiasm, and emotion." She allows every moment to reveal itself through the lens in an authentic or funny way. Guenther believes it's important to capture families in their everyday life, because  after starting a family, your life seems to pick up speed forever. She uses natural light, so it will take time to decide the best lighting in the home or outdoors. "Rush Hour" "Parenting is exhausting" "Check, please!" Guenther believes that "If you can evoke emotion in a photograph, I feel the memory will live on forever." "Hold on a sec" The title of

In this lesson I went around the college campus and photographed trees, the aim was to find one that would make a good kaleidoscope.  Once I did this I opened the picture in photoshop where I started by making one copy of the layer. From there I aligned it so it fit next to the first image and flip it horizontally. I then merged them two and copied the whole layer again and flipped it vertically and just continued doing that over and over increasing  the page size each time. 

Fay Godwin was born on the 17th February 1931 and died on the 27th May 2005. She was a British photographer known for her black and white landscapes of the British countryside and coast, she was also extremely interested in literature and produced portraits of well-known writers, photographing almost every significant literary figure in 1970s and 1980s England, as well visiting foreign authors. While she was out taking photos she would often stay in one spot that she had found that was good enough for taking photos that would and would spend up to two hours there taking a single pictures every time there was a minor shift in light. She would also return again and agin to one spot that she thought would be a great picture once a certain type of light was around. In one of her books Godwin said “Twelve pictures, all identical to look at, and I can’t imagine how I could have thought it necessary to do twelve unit I print, and then the differences begin to emerge”. Godwin also set her

You are going to look at another person's work 1.Firstly use 5 words to describe that work Close up shot Natural form  Shallow depth of field  Peaceful Icy 2. Now comment on the images form This means looking at the formal elements of an artwork. What is the medium of the work? To take this picture the photographer told me she laid down on the floor and zoom in and manually focused the lens. What kind of shapes or forms can you find? There are a lot of jagged edges and round shapes. There is also a couple of curled leaves. Which techniques have they used? She used a low aperture to get the background blurred out. What kinds of textures can you see? There are rough textures in the bigger dead leaves but a smoothed out edges on the smaller green leaves. 3. Finally consider the mood and meaning of the work Mood means looking at how the artist has created a certain atmosphere or feeling. How does the work make you feel? T

Motion Blur For this exercise the aim was to make a sharp moving image look as if it was moving so fast the picture came out blurry. To do this we started out by making a copy of the original image on photoshop and on that layer making a mask so I could edit on that picture without actually effecting the original image. I then selected the motion blur tool and adjusted the settings to choose how blurry I wanted it to be, once I did this I used the rubber tool to erase the part of the layer where i wanted the blur to come through.      Lens Blur For this exercise the aim was to blur out the whole picture leaving one strip sharp. To do this it was the same concept as motion blur where i made another copy and edited on it only this time i use a tool called quick mask, when selected it allowed me to see the changes in a red line and when deselected it blurred out everything but the red strip. I then edited the picture by changing the exposure and saturatio
