Design your own Photo challenge

My photo challenge is to capture 5 pictures of street fashion that inspires you. The photos can be in black and white or color, and should capture the essence of the town or city you are in. I figure this would be a good challenge to do at McCallum because we have some very diverse and interesting styles here.

Photo challenge 8

1. I shot the image from this photo to add some depth. I was able to make more space when I shot the photo from this angle.

2. I used the available light in this picture by cutting off the sun so it wouldn't glad, but making the angle so the sun would be lighting up the subjects body.

3. The angle effected the background by adding more sky. The sky adds a nice bright blue pop of color.

4. This image is my most favorite from this set.

5. This photo was taken on my

iPhone.

1. I shot the photo from the angle to et a view of her lower body and not focus so much on her face. It also changes the scenery and focal point.

2. The angle made the light look like it was shining from directly above the subject.

3. The angle made the background look more vast. The green adds some depth.

4. This is my middle picture, not my favorite but not my least favorite.

5. I took this photo on my

phone.

1. I shot it to change up the background and to get a different point of view.

2. This angle made use of the light by making it look like a spotlight on her lower body. The light was used to highlight her lower body but not her face.

3. The angle made the background from the perspective of the subject, or the ground.

4. This image is my least favorite.

5. This photo was taken from my phone.

1. I shot the photo from this angle to get the subjects cool shoes in the photo. I took it from an above angle first to get a good view of her shoes.

2. This photo took advantage of the sunlight by using it to highlight the shoes, but tone down the background.

3. The background in this photo is toned down and darkened because of the angle of this photo.

4. This angle is my middle, not the best but not the worst.

5. I took this photo with my iPhone.

1. I shot the image from this angle to get an idea of the subjects point of view.

The viewer of the photograph gets a good idea of what the subject is seeing.

2. This photo used lighting in order to tone down the subjects shoes, but highlight her legs and background.

3. This angle effected the background by slightly cutting out the background. There isn't much of a background.

4. This is my least favorite photo because of the cut out background and because the lighting is weird.

5. Taken on my iPhone.

1. I shot this image from the back of the subject to get a different perspective and depth.

2. This angle let the light highlight one part of the shoes, and then caress around the shoes.

3. This angle effected the background by giving us a window between the subjects legs and giving us a good depth and main interest to the photo.

4. This is my favorite photo of the set of three.

5. Taken on my iPhone.

1. I shot this photo from the head on angle to get the plant and shrubs in the background and to get more depth.

2. I just took available light in order to mainly light my subject, didn't manipulate the light much.

3. This angle effected my background by adding depth and more shrubbery in the background to add more interest.

4. This is my favorite photo of the three.

5. Taken on my phone.

1. I took this photo from a different angle to add more sky in the background and to add more depth and space.

2. I made use of available light in this photo by making the sun shine directly above the flower to highlight it.

3. This angle added more sky to the background by adding more color and it made the main focus the flower.

4. This image is not my favorite but not my least favorite.

5. This photo was taken on my

phone.

1. I chose to change the angle in this photo to get a below view and a different perspective.

2. This angle really took the light and added a slight glare. I overused the light a bit in this photo.

3. This angle included more sky in the background and it was a little less busy.

4. This image is my least favorite.

5. Taken on my iPhone
