Artist Statement

In this portfolio you will find all of the work I have created so far this year in my Digital Photography class. I feel in this portfolio I worked very hard, although there are some projects I wish I could have done better.
Over the course of this semester I have learned so much I learned about layering photos, writing text in different ways, fading photos, macro, shadowing, how to take a good photograph in the light, angling. And a lot more camera stuff and Photoshop stuff.
I think personally that I was most successfully with layering photographs because I like to mess with the opacity and the different layers you could do. It came really easy to me, and I use it in every photograph almost.
I struggled most with downloading brushes or stamps from the internet I never really got how to do it, and how to bring it onto Photoshop, that way I stay away from that and mainly used what the Photoshop program provided me with. I still don’t really know how to use them.
In the future I could improve on organizing my layers better when having a lot of layers on one photo. I was sloppy in that, and that’s why my photos got messed up, and it became a lot more difficult to keep up when that would happen. To me I have seen the most improvement in working with layers and blurring out things that don’t look nice in the picture, because at the beginning of the year I never cared about all the small details, but now I'm all about erasing things that I don’t like, or hiding them
This class is a lot of fun for me, I love taking pictures of objects and creating something more of them. I will say though that just missing one day of class sets me back a lot because I never realized all the little details we would learn in just one hour that would take me forever to learn by myself.
