Amicis Italian Bistro

    For our most recent assignment, our class took a field trip over to the little town of Scottsville for the day. Our task was to find a business, and do a photojournalism project based on what we photographed and found out about the place. I chose to photograph Amicis Italian Bistro, on Valley Street in Downtown Scottsville. I went in a little before they opened to ask if I could take pictures. The employees were incredibly friendly and let me take pictures of them setting up for the day. Using the pictures we took, we put together a photo story. So, here are some of my photographs that I used to make my photo story.

Creative Devices

    For our first at home assignment, we practiced using different creative devices in out photographs. Some creative devices include: rule of thirds, silhouette, reflection, selective focus, juxtaposition, and decisive moment. I focused on using silhouettes and rule of thirds. I used my younger sister as my model, and here are my favorites...

I love the circles caused by the sun 

In this photo and in the next, I really like how her hair is outlined by the sun, and has a golden edge.
