For my P12 assignment, I worked with fellow classmate Jacob Kline on a project. First, we agreed that we wanted to do something involving photography since we both enjoy it. We then decided to give each other a specific word that we thought represented a stereotypical thing that the opposite sex would enjoy. For instance, I gave Jacob the word “skateboarding” and he gave me the word “flowers”. From there, I walked around the campus and took pictures of the flowers I thought would most adequately represent the word “flowers”.
This was the first picture taken that I thought would represent the word “flowers”. The only edit I did for this one was a subtle VSCO filter that merely changed the hue of the picture, allowing the flowers to become much more vibrant.
I did not make any edits for this photo because I thought that there did not need to be any. There were already enough vibrant colors in the original photo to make it stand out.
For this picture, I used another VSCO filter to make the actual rose stand out in contrast to the bushes behind it. In doing so, the bee in the center of the picture became much more visible. I think this picture is an accurate depiction of still-life in nature.
