Chris H- Luminous

 The title of this image, “Luminous” I took these photos in the Photography room months ago. I think I took these photos with my phone. I edited these photos in the Photoshop App. I wish the cropping of the red arm could be better. But besides that, I’m very happy with the results of this photo. 

Brooke L- Drip

 I titled this picture Drip. I took sometime in January in my bathroom. This was taken with my sony camera and I edited out some smudges on the mirror and other things in the background. I also added a blue tint to the picture. I think this could’ve been better if it had a different background or different lighting.

Emily K - Old Ladies

 This image is titled “Old Ladies” and was taken with my Canon Rebel t7 at Aldridge Gardens on January 30, 2025. I did not do much editing other than warming the whole picture and brightening the subjects. I loved how the sun shone and created rays in the background, giving it a dreamy feel. This picture represents girlhood because these women have been friends their whole lives. I wish the trees were not as dead, but other than that let me know your thoughts. Overall, this was a very fun photoshoot and I am very happy with this image. 

Shelby S- Soul Reflection

 The title of this image is called “Soul Reflection”. It was taken looking into the E-hall hallway, but I was outside. It was taken during 7th period on Tuesday (2/18). It was taken with Mr. Rigsby’s canon camera. I edited it by turning the temperature down, tweaking the black and white point, and adding texture. I could’ve tried to make the inside more visible compared to the outside being seen better.

Mylin F- The Ride Back Home

 The title of this photo is called The Ride Back Home. It was taken in my friend's car during the afternoon. it was taken with my canon. I edited it by adjusting the brightness. it could be better if it was focused more

Dylan T- Process

I call this image processing. I took it of Mr. Rigsby with his Canon Rebel t7. I didn’t do much to it but mess with the colors a bit and darken the backdrop i felt like it encases the emotion pretty well but I am open to suggestions

 

Elyssa W - Locked In

This photo was taken on January 25th in the wrestling room. I titled it locked in since it was a match day and the boys tend to get focused before. It was taken with my Nikkon D3400 and I used Photoshop to edit a few spots specifically. I wish I would have cropped the bottom but overall I am happy with how it turned out. 

 

Ella H- Dancing Flowers

 The name of this image is “Dancing Flowers” I used images from earlier this school year to create this photo. I removed the flowers from their original background and placed them on a solid black background. I then created layers of each flower and added blur filters to each. I repeated this process until I was pleased with how they looked. 

Evie G - Stepping Stones

This is my photo “Stepping Stones”. I took this picture with my cannon ax700 at a waterfall behind my house. I edited the image by cropping it and adding a sunlight filter to really make the orange and yellow colors of the image pop. What I would have done differently is up the exposure on my camera when taking the image. 
 

Sophia H- Paint Splash

The title of this selected image is called paint splash. It was taken in the photography studio in February. It was taken by an iPhone 11 and edited on Photomatix after taking 3 HDR bracketed photos, merging them, and then applying a filter that changed the composition and color effects. I’m not sure how much better it can be, but I am pleased with the result.

 

Maya H - god in the laundry chute

  This photo is a composite I made for the Composite assignment in January. It consists of photos that I took; a photo looking up a laundry chute, a photo of curtains, and a photo of a ceramic cat (god) peeking over the edge of a bookshelf. After combining these photos, I added the posterize filter. 

Daniel F- Shin Awakening

 This photo is titled Shin Awakening. This photo was taken January 24, 2025 on my desk for the sustained investigation. I took this photo with my Iphone 16 camera. This photo required a lot of editing. I started off with changing the color of the back, mouth, and other areas to purple instead of the base red of the original figure. I did this to match the movie scene from Shin Godzilla where his back lights up and he fires a radioactive fireball at the ground that engulfs the city and then he later focuses into a beam. After changing the color I applied the background which I turned the opacity down for and blurred to make it seem further away. The final touch which brings this whole photo together was I added the flame and smoke effects using the smoke effect brush and also rendering clouds. I also used gradients to add the feeling of radiating heat. I think it could be better if I had a little more time to go around and smooth up some edges to make it fit better. I have also noticed I forgot to add foreground clouds to make the smoky effect. This photo was one of my favorites and one that I really enjoyed because I got to use a large majority of my techniques I’ve learned over the years to get it to this final product. I also took this photo as a challenge because the base photo is absolutely nothing like this final version which I think is pretty cool.

Eleanor B- Colored Castle

 This was taken while I was babysitting, it was a race car toy pictured through a glass crystal. I took it with my phone and furthered the fractals by adding more of a kaleidoscope element + overlaying it all with the crystal texture. I could’ve been more creative with the image because it had lots of unique colors and shapes.

Emma B- SHY DONKEY KONG CORE

 This image was taken in the studio at school at 1:22 PM on Feb 11, 2025. It was taken with my iPhone 11 Pro Max using flash. I edited this image by cropping it and using the auto settings in the photos app. It could’ve been better if I cleaned up the background. This is a photo of my best friend Sophia. 

Dalia A-H- Forever Young

I named this Image Forever Young because it reminds me of the album cover from the song. I also named it this because I think in this photo my dad looks very wise here. I took this with my Canon Rebel T1i and my dad was just sitting on the couch and I asked if I could take a photo of his eyes. I edited this photo in ways that would accentuate the spots and wrinkles on his face. I made this photo black and white so that the contrast would be more noticable and I also thought it was fitting.

 

Milan S- Cathedral

 The title is Cathedral. I took this in Austin, Tx on Jan 17, 2025. This was taken with my Iphone 16 pro max. While I was taking the photo I turned down the exposure to make it darker and appear clearer. It would be better if the street pole wasn’t directly in front of the cathedral, overall I like the photo.

Reagan P - Take a Bow

 The title of this image is “Take a Bow” and it was taken with my camera on December 21, 2024, at Oak Mountain High School. This photo is not edited. I did not feel that it needed to be, the only thing I might do is slightly crop it and edit the lighting. 

Harleigh P - Sisters

I named this image “Sisters” because these two cats are sisters. One is super fluffy (Ramona), and the other isn’t (Hazel), but they both have the same face. This image perfectly represents siblings. There are similarities but also differences. 

 

Kenn J- Kids

 The title of the image is called Lil’ Cuzzo’s. The photo was taken during the Christmas break on the back outside of my house. It was taken with a Digital Camera borrowed from Mr. Rigsby. I changed the contrast and the saturation of the image and then edited the brightness to dull it down some. I think the location of the picture could be better and the attire. 

Kye W - Last Minion Standing

 The image, titled “Last Minion Standing,” appears to have been taken during winter, featuring a snow-covered fire hydrant. While the specific location, date, and device used to capture the photo are unknown, it seems likely the image was taken with a digital camera or smartphone and heavily edited for artistic effect. The editing includes high contrast, saturated colors (blue and yellow), a grainy overlay, and a vignette to draw focus to the hydrant. The whimsical editing style gives the hydrant a humorous resemblance to a “minion.” To enhance the image, reducing the grain for a cleaner appearance, balancing the saturation, and straightening the composition could improve its overall quality. Despite this, the current surreal and playful vibe adds charm and creativity to the piece.
