Photography has always captured my attention; especially photographers who take something so simple like grass or rocks and make it look beautiful. My favorite project in Visual Communications has been the water photography because I got to show my classmates my photo editing skills. When I was out taking pictures of water I noticed all the small drops on the grass and flowers. The drops automatically gave me an idea to zoom in far enough to where you can see the drops of water and then edit to make the water droplets more prominent. In my water photography I used different compositional point of view techniques such as laying on the floor, standing on something, standing far away and zooming in, and taking close ups from different angles. When editing my photographs I first like to begin with adjusting the brightness and contrast to make my photograph more vibrant. In my work I like to make the focus obvious to the viewer. I like to emphasize variant foci of my photography and to bring more attention to those areas. I want people to see that simplicity is beautiful if captured at the right angle and can be enhanced via editing techniques. I say that my water photography is my best work because I enjoyed the process of enhancing simplistic elements. Through this process I am now conscious about looking at aspects of nature in a whole new different way. As a result of this project, I now notice things that I used to walk past everyday and did not appreciate. If you look throughout my photography work you will notice that I used a variety of design principles such as repetition with my Droste effect photography, contrast, and emphasis in most of my water photography so that I could make certain areas of my image stand out. I learned to use design principles as tool to define and communicate the key aspects of our work to the viewer.
