To me tessellations means that there is a mixture of photos that are put together to create a different piece with different patterns. To create a tessellation I took macro photos and chose which ones would look best as a tessellation, then I resized the image to 4", 2", or 1" then put them on a new space with 4 squares or more. After, I would flip the pictures for the right spot then merge the layers. On some of them I adjusted the color, hue or saturation. This was my favorite project so far because I had the change to change the photo and be creative with it to create a new design. my favorite photo would have to be the fifth photo because it's bright with a lot of patterns. I struggled mostly with getting the photos aligned perfectly. In order to create better tessellations next time I would take better photos.

From going to the duck pond I learned that the model has to do multiple poses with a different background in order to create photos that are different. To decide what poses to use I just used references from the handout and chose the ones that the model was comfortable with, the paper that had poses on it was very helpful. The reflector was very helpful because it put more light on the model and made her stand out more. To retouch the photographs I used the quick selection tool in photoshop to select the face, then I made refine edge adjustments, I blurred some parts on the face, and I used the brush tool and the spot healing brush to make sure the skin looked really good. Models hire portrait photographers for head shots and corporations also hire them for photos of their employees. They earn $31,710 per year and charge $8 to $10 per hour or $15 to $18 per hour if they own a studio.
This photo was taken with an f/5.6 and IOS 400 the contrast and warmth of the photo was adjusted. As you can see my photograph has stairs, a mural, and some buildings in the background without anyone. This photo was meant to show that some people don't see that the youth gather together to work and despite their differences they take multiple steps in their lives to achieve their goal. Yes, the photo doesn't show that people are doing these things but that's the whole point because sometimes no one notices what the effort and actions of the students are. The students are busy learning and while they're inside the photo was taken outside to show that they're not messing around, instead they're trying to achieve their goals through learning.
I chose to do this because while you can't see anyone the steps are suppose to symbolize what is being done to achieve those goals and the mural in the background shows that even though there are people who are different it doesn't matter because they are the same and are willing to work together. You don't have to see what is being done sometimes you just know because in the end those students will achieve something. I brought muddy buddies, Naked Juice, raspberries, a tea cup, and a little pink plate. For props I used some measuring spoons and a small rad and white cloth. From the food photography video I learned that not everything they used was food, the timing matters, the food is organized one by one, it's harder to take pictures with only real food, and the background matters. In order to make my food photography look similar to a profesionals I positioned the food how I wanted them to be and where I wanted to be. By doing this project I learned that you have to get at the right angle with the right lighting, props make a difference and so does the background. Any restaurant or fast food place uses food photography to make their food more appealing. I think I was successful in positioning the food but I wouldn't do it again because I find nature scenes to be more captivating.
In order to create this project in photo shop I changed the color of the photos to black and white then i cropped them to be the same size. After that I put them all together already provided in the class files. At first I didn't understand the project but when explained it made sense and with some help i was able to put the photos together in photoshop. I was proud to get the hand of adding the photos along with the other ones and edit them. I like that all the pictures are different but i think I could have captured the picture better.
