Written Asignment #5

This assignment was a fun project to take photographs for.  I felt that I was able to be more creative because I was able to utilize different people/places that applied to the prompts we were given and going to Florida gave me the opportunity to shoot new material and gave me incentive to step out of my box.  I am working on using Photoshop but am still in the learning process. 
In the photo, Day 2, a 5 year old girl came to the pool one day and she was dressed and ready to swim.  I asked her mom if she cared if I took some pictures of her.  Unfortunately I missed pictures of her trying to get in the pool with her fins on but got some candid shots of her before she started her adventures.  This was only her 2nd day ever putting her face under water. 
The photos ‘Transformation’ is of the 3 girls I took to Florida.  They had their makeup done at Animal Kingdom and I thought they looked exotic, youthful and intense all at the same time.  It changed them from ordinary tourists to girls that people would stop and ask where they had gotten it done.  It was fun to watch the reaction at the other parks.
Self-portrait is my first step at getting back into the world and showing my face in a photo.  I was using a mask and decided I wanted to create different faces which indicate my different moods and emotions.  Was silly but fun and I got a facial!
The one legged bird was interesting because of the lighting on the beach that day.  It was a cloudy, dreary day so I enhanced some of the colors using Photoshop.  It gave the photo more depth and interest.
Finally, the last photo is a collage of the things we saw and did.  We had a 4 hour delay on our way so the girls asked if they could do my hair.  They liked it until I left it in and talked to passersby’s!
