According to the test I took, I’m an entertainer. It says that I’m the life of the party and that I bring vibrant energy to the room. It also states that I have natural talent for reading people and the situations. I feel like this may be true, I feel like I am good at reading the situations like if I don’t feel comfortable or off with someone or something I’m not scared to just leave. Also, I loving talking to people and making new friends.

1. Remember why you started: I feel like this is so important because when people get stuck, they lose motivation and sometimes even decide to give up. So, it’s important to remember what got you to love photography
2. Change your environment: New environments force your brain to notice things differently
3. Shoot for fun: shoot with no pressure or with no goal of posting. When you stop worrying your creativity comes out.
4. Use music or emotions: Take photos off how the vibe of the music makes you feel. I feel like this would be good when a new song comes out.
5. Take a break: I you force it, it won’t come

My actual career goals for my future are to go as far as I can in my sport, go to college for business and management, and take some photos if I get a chance to. I would love to take some photos of sports; I grew up playing and loving all kinds of sports so that would be amazing to do, especially if it was baseball.

In TED Talk David Griffin explains how photography connects people by telling stories without using words. He shows that photos can capture emotions, moments, and important events in a way people can understand. Photography helps people see different point of view and learn about the world.

I think his message is important because it shows that photos are more than just pictures, they have meaning. The TED Talk made me realize how photographers choose what to show and how it affects the viewer. Overall, I learned that photography is a strong way to communicate and connect people everywhere.

 

 

 

Photo 1 is really fun, learning how to use the camera and take photos was really cool. I like how Mrs. Cauchon is really reasonable with the late assignments and when things are due. I learned a lot and think this is a really cool and fun class to take if you have even the slightest interest in photography. My favorite thing was the assignment where we had to edit ourselves in our dream vacation. My biggest advice is to not be shy to experiment with the edits. I feel like messing with the edits really helped me edit the photos better, and it was cool seeing and trying different things. I would also say to try and make friends in that class. Photo was even more fun because you’ll always have someone to shoot with. Overall Photo 1 is a very great class I think the biggest thing is to focus but also have fun and let your creativity out.

1. Lighting is Everything: I feel like this is important because lighting either makes or breaks a photo.
2. It’s All in the Details: Details in a photo are what catches most people’s attention and it’s what can make a picture great.
3. Shoot like a Pro, think like a student: I feel like even if you’re a great photographer, there is always something you can learn and that thing maybe your new favorite.
4. Experiment and play: I feel like this is important because when people experiment, they learn new things, and I like to say that is you don’t try you’ll never know.
5. Read the manual: A lot of people don’t but you can learn a lot of things about your camera, and I feel like it would be very helpful especially for new photographers
6. Zen and the Art of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO: These are the three most important things for your camera settings, it’s the ones you need to adjust the most whenever you take photos
7. It’s hard being Interesting: I feel like this is important because a lot of people give up when their photos don’t get that many views.
8. Eyes are the Prize: This is important because eyes tell stories
9. Learn by Adjusting: Everyone messes up and it’s important to mess up because then you’ll never adjust and learn
10. No matter how Pro you get, It’s Still a Passion Play: I feel like it’s always important why you started and what made you fall in love with photography, especially when time get hard and you feel like giving up.
