I'm not confident in my ability to take pictures of nature. I guess it's because I can't control it. So I went out side and took pictures of things that we, as students at RHS, pass by on a daily basses. showing that beauty can be found in any thing. Even our poor old school that is falling down.

My thought process for these pictures was editorial. I think I did a fairly good job with it. My most successful picture was of Amy in the Dove ad. It is clean and I only had to lighten it up a little in Photoshop. Me magazines where a little harder. The layout of the words was a little confusing. If I do it again I will make sure to change the space between the letters in Photoshop.

The concept behind my piece is bringing disney's animated charaters to life but in a modern way as high schoolers. In every picture I have you can find their name. I took both their original attire and personality in to the picture when I picked out the layout and out fit for them. I wanted them to look a little like senior pictures.
