Kate M.-Under the Willow Tree

This picture is called Under the Willow Tree because I took it of my friend while we were both in the branches of a Weeping Willow. I took this picture at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens a few weeks ago. I took this with my canon rebel t3. To edit this I added more contrast and adjusted the color of the leaves to make them more green and vibrant. This picture could be better if there wasn’t so much out of focus leaves right in front of the lens.

Ben D- Mountain View

The title of this photo is “Mountain View.” I took this a few weeks ago at an overlook off of some random road. I added some saturation and fade, as well as some shadows adjustments.

Chris C - Gargoyle

I’m going to call this photo ‘Gargoyle’ because it remind me of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. This i a composite i made using photo i took for the architecture assignment and some older photos i had taken. I blended the photos and then adjusted some coloration and added a slight matte effect. I think this could be better if I used some more texture photos in the composite.

Amber S- Freeze

The title of this image is Freeze. I took this picture in the courtyard last year. I took the picture with my digital camera. I added some saturation to this picture and also decreased the green color in the grass. I colored her hair slightly to make it more brown and whitened her shirt to make it brighter. I think it could be better at a different angle and it could have included more of her hair and body.

Sabrina S- Untitled

I didn’t know what to call this picture so I just left it as untitled. I took this last year in my front yard, darkened the edges and made my model almost white with a little saturation in bed hair and in the leafs.

Sara W- Downtown Atlanta


I took this picture in downtown Atlanta for the high and low key assignment. I took the exposure and contrast up and played with with levels. I really like this picture and I think it turned out well.

Tizoc J- Liquid Dog



I took this photo of my dog using my Canon Rebel T5, i personal like this shot because getting a picture of my dog is hard because she doesn’t sit still for a long time. I edited this photo using the liquify tool, and i also darkened the edges a tad. I named it liquid dog because why not.

Jakelyn R - Innocent and So Alone

I titled this image “Innocent and So Alone” due to the fact that she’s in the middle or nowhere and yea/. But i took this image 2 days ago after school at moss rock. I took this with my Canon Eos 60D. I edited this image by Turning down the brightness and vibrance and added and orangey photo filter. i believe this picture would have been better if there was no pathway behind her.

Zohra P- Fruits

I took this in Mr. Rigsby’s studio, the lighting was really dark and I love the way it looks, I worked on the contrast a lot and vibrance for the color to really pop out. The camera was on a tripod so, that really helped me to take a clear picture.

Matthew O - Blood Water


The title of this photo is “blood water”.  I took it of my friend in the preserve and edited the water to be red like blood.  I could have taken it with the subject more in focus, because he is slightly blurry.

Justin C- Mood

I call this image “Mood.” I used my Nikon D3300 to take the picture. I edited the image by lowering the vibrance and saturation. I also raised the contrast just a little bit and messed with some of the curves and levels.

Logan M- Huracán

I originally titled this shot BOOTY, but decided that Mr. Rigby might not like that. I took this at Cars and Coffee last year. I had a fairly open aperture of about 3.6f and a shutter speed around 1/400. I did almost nothing to edit this except crop in a little.

Nick A - Heritage

This photo is called, “Heritage.” It is called this because this is a legendary car which holds a lot of heritage in Ferrari. This photo was taken with a Canon EOS 7D a few weeks at Logan’s on 280. I edited it by applying gradients and lighting adjustments to bring out color shadows. The lighting was very harsh but which made me do more lighting adjustments then normal. If i could shoot this photo again, I would shoot a little higher up so I could get some ground underneath the ground in the shot.

Bella M- Sloss Portrait

This picture was taken with a Cannon t3i a month or so ago at Sloss furnace. When editing this picture I bumped up the offset, warmed it up a bit. and sharpened it. This could be much better if the angle was different.

Sabrina S- Selina

This is just a portrait of my sister, I didn’t do anything to it, but it could be better if it wasn’t just ever so slightly grainy.

Madeline V.- Page Turner

This picture is titled “Page Turner” and I took it for the high key low key assignment and I didn’t really do much to edit it except for making it black and white and adjusting the colors then making some of the pages more noticeable and sharpening it. I wish that the book itself was in focus a little bit more, but the picture was harder to take then you would think because It was hard to get the pages what I wanted them to do. I really love this picture though!

Amber S- Leaves

I took this picture outside of my back porch about a year ago. I used my digital camera to take this image. I used iPhoto to edit this image last year. I increased the definition and sharpness to focus on the detail of the flower more. I also made the greens brighter. I added a black and white filter because I thought it made the image simpler. I think if I had not increased the sharpness as much, it would have been a slightly better image.

Kristin S- Peace, Leaves and Happiness


The title of this is Peace, Leaves, and Happiness. I shot this yesterday with my cannon rebel xs.
To edit it I messed with the brightness and contrast, lowered the vibrance, and upped the saturation and then made it black and white, and colored in the leaf.

Justin H- Cave

This photo has been taken for the current “Leaf, Archetecture, Mood” assignment. Very little has been done to edit this photo besides minor saturation and a diffuse glow filter. The photo was taken around 4pm in the after noon with a 50mm lens.

Crossan R- Pop

My photo is titled “Pop”, because it’s a bubble popping. I took this a while back for the story illustration with my Nikon d60. I edited it by adding one of the filters that I really like because it makes everything appear as if it’s outlined by a glow, but I turned the opacity down some so that some of the original shot comes through. I overall like the vibe of this photo and think it turned out pretty well.

Sara W- Low Key Atlanta

I took this picture in downtown Atlanta for the high and low key assignment. Editing wise I cropped and changed the levels. I think it turned out well.

Hannah S- Syd

This picture is titled Syd, because that is the name of my model. I took this in Rigby’s studio last week. Editing wise I am still not completely done with it, but so dar I am happy with how it is looking. I added a curve, levels, and 2 brightness/contrast layers, which helped to make her skin look smoother. Overall I’m pleased with this picture so far.

Zoey E.- Hidden

This is a picture of my friend with a pillow in front of her face. As for editing, I added a black and whit filter, adjusted the offset, and manipulated the shadows and highlights. I would be better if the image was sharper though.

Ben D- Golden Dreams

The title of this photo is “Golden Dreams.” I took this photo outside of a coal mine in Hueytown. Used a Canon T5i and a 50mm f/1.8 to get the sharp foreground and soft background. I made the photo warmer and slightly sharper to put more emphasis on the wheat.

Jeremy L- Paint Me Like One Of Your French Cats

I titled this “Paint me like one of your French cats”, because it’s a reference and why not? I took it a few months ago with a 50mm f/1.8, and it’s just a bad picture, but I still laugh at this moron’s expression and posture. It’s not edited, just str8 out the camera. It could be better if it wasn’t a picture of a cat.
