I really like to take photos, do crafts, and draw. These are all things I can do with my creative mind. I think that a lightbulb would best represent my creativity because it is one of my favorite things about myself. Even better, I found this cool colorful lightbulb which is really unique which better showcases my personality. My mom has always told me that I create really intricate and interesting things in all of my art classes. My teachers have also always said that I do well in art and have asked me if they can put some of my pieces in art shows, which makes me really happy. I tried to find creative angles and focus points in all of my photographs instead of the norm. For the first one, I thought I would try something different by focusing on the inside of the lightbulb. I was able to do it and I really like the result of how it focused. However, I couldn't get the best lighting so I had to angle myself oddly, which exposed the table with clutter on it in the background. For the second photo, I did a standard side view type of photo.
I took these photos of an orchid to represent my love of plants and taking care of them. Ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated with plants and have wanted to grow/ maintain them. This is one of the plants that I just bought for my room and I was able to catch it in bloom. I chose an orchid over any of the other plants that I have because it's colorful and they are the easiest plant for me to take care of. I tried to choose angles that would exclude the other flowers from the shot. For the first photo, I did an angle that was taken from slightly underneath the flower that exposed the curves of the delicate petals. And for the second one I did an angle from slightly above but had to crop out some of the other flowers.
I decided to take photos of this little jar of beach glass. This represents my love for the beach and the ocean. I found each of these little colored pieces of glass on the beach with my family. And then I made them go in color order in the jar that I had brought to the Bahamas. I really like how these photos turned out. I think that the focus was really interesting and I like the angels that I chose.
This is a green ball that my mom used for a decoration in our house. It's important to me because it was one of the first decorations that my mom bought when we moved into our new house. It was a big change for me because I had always lived in the same house for all of my life and the move was very different. When my mom started to decorate the place it began to feel more homey. I set it on a vase like thing to use as a stand against a white wall.
This is a polaroid that I took when my family was at a beach in Florida during the sunset. My sister and I held up our hands to make a heart and captured a really pretty photo. This represents my love of photography and my love for my sister. My sister is the most important thing in the world to me and I really do love her. Also, I have always taken photos of everything and I have never been sure why but I guess I just like photography. These were hard to take because it is really flat so I had to crop my fingers out in the one on the right.
