American Culture HERO

Skater 

For this assignment I tried to capture the model showing his personal style and the props like the hat and the skate on the side. I took the photo out doors with a strobe on the left side. I wanted to do something more like an editorial type like he being a skater saying a story about his culture or his personal style.

               

For this assignment  I took photos of my friend Katie Howard, She is a young artist from San Diego and the singer of the band called Citrus. For my hero image I tried to capture the American culture so I told my friend to wear the american flag outfit. I wanted to show a pool and trees because i think it works well with the subject it makes me think of like a scene from a movie. Also her expression on the photo works well. I told my friend to carry the horns because i think it would look more interesting.

Here is another photo that I took in black and white, I think it looks cool the way the lines on the background work with the subject,  Here is some my friends work https://soundcloud.com/citrusandkatie

Culture Proposal

For this assignment my goal is to capture American Culture and feminism i'll take photos of my friend in front of her pool holding some horns. She will be wearing an american flag outfit. I didn't really had that much ideas for this assignment but i think i captured American culture in some way. 

Time

I took Pictures of my roommate Daniel and for this assignment I wanted to capture him just being himself at home. I took a before and after photo of him with green hair, he changed his hair color that day. I took this photo while we were getting ready to move out of the apartment. He is a young photographer and musician, and I decided to get like a youth, freedom vibe on the first photo. I cut small gels squares and put them around the flash so as you can see on the corners there's some color gel effects.

This is the after photo of my roommate with green hair, he said he was inspired on the Joker a batman character. This photo I took it with an iPhone 6 quality and used some purple lighting. Personally i sometimes like how iPhone photos come out specially. if you want to get a grungy effect.

Direction

 For this assignment I shot my friend Quinn in SoHo Manhattan, we met at Starbucks in Brooklyn and took the train to the city. He is a photographer as well so we both took photos of buildings, people and weird stuff. When i took this photo i was trying to incorporate direction, i told Quinn not to move because i needed to create this direction effect. i took this photo thinking about lines and squares as you can noticed on the ground you can see lines that take you to the other side of the street also i like this shot because the background is a building and it's very symmetrical.

I first met Quinn at work and he is a pretty cool guy. He is always carrying his camera out ready for the perfect time to take a photo. Now he is working as a model and I'm very happy for him. We walked in SoHo for a while and then we went to Chinatown.
