Rural

For this project we had to display pictures of rural areas. My pictures were mostly taken in the forest or around a body of water. The areas where I found these images at seemed boring in real life but when you take a picture of it it became quite stunning. I learned from this project that outside photos look better if they have a shadow or reflection.  

Paul Strand

Paul Strand was an iconic photographer during the 1900's. Paul Strand was known as a straight photographer. Which meant his pictures looked like they came straight out of a camera. What was astonishing about Paul Strand's photos were that during his time was that during .his time there was any photo editing technology. Which is why he is considered the grand daddy of photography. 

For this project we had to take a photo of buildings and show interesting shadows and light. This kind of photography is called urban photography. I took these photos around the high school which had a lot of stunning urban views. From doing this project I learned that simple picture of a building can become a very beautiful photo.
