Clay K- Last February


The picture was taken at the beach last february and edited over the summer. The photos are from a nikon d500. I overlaid and applied a mask to make it overlap in the pattern of the old polaroid. The picture could have been if I had done a little bit more of a planning time.

Merit O- Sunset


    The name of this image is sunset. I took this picture September 12 when I was up in Maryland for a wedding. I took it with my canon rebel T5. The only thing I did to edit it was I made the shadows a little darker to make the sky and sunset more clear. I like the picture how it is so I don’t know what I would do to make it better. 


Cayla M- We Can't Breath


  We can't breath is the name of this image. It was taken months ago in my room. It was originally a video which I screenshotted. Drew over it and made it into a statement for the BLM movement. Using the words from George Floyd and every shade of our color. To show that no matter what, we stand together. Fight together and die together. It could be a little better with the symmetry and the angles possibly. But I still believe it holds a very powerful statement.

Hannah R- Son of a Family Friend


 I took this image at the Botanical Gardens a few months back. The boy in the photo is the son of a family friend. It was taken with a NikonD3500. I edited it by adding a filter and adjusting the lighting. I didn’t do much else to edit it. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Mitchell C- Helicopter


I took this image last year at my dad’s workplace. Thankfully, the day I took this, it was slow, so I was able to take this picture of the aircraft. I edited this image slightly in the Apple Photos application before moving it into photoshop. I adjusted the hues of red, darkened and deepened the blacks, and I made the bright colors brighter and I really liked how it turned out. If I were to change anything to make it better, I would like to go back to the time when I was photographing and stand further back so I could get the entire aircraft in frame, but other than that, I am fairly happy with how the image turned out. 

Alana W- Site


 The title of this image is Site and it was taken last year and it was taken in my home. It was taken with my Canon Rebel T6, and I edited this image for the site image project. I edited it by changing the brightness, color, and contrast. I also added exposure, vibrance, and specialized text with online fonts from the adobe photoshop website. This image could have been improved if I was able to find a better font for the photo.

Emaleigh S- A Baby’s Grave


The title of my image is A Baby’s Grave. It was taken at an old graveyard in Bluff Park last week. I took this image with my phone while using another phone's flashlight for lighting. I edited it by adding a little saturation and definition to the grave and the leaves and I also straightened the image up as well. The photo would be better if the lighting was not so bright on the top of the grave. Other than that, this baby’s grave from the 1800’s made a pretty good image subject.


Jack J - Faces


  My image is “Faces” and it is a combination of a picture taken last November at Railroad Park and a picture taken in August at Aldridge Gardens. Both images were taken with my Canon Rebel T3. I edited the image by cropping on my friend Bree’s eye and posterizing and adding a blue tone then duplicating the image many times. Then I cropped the image of Jilian and made it B/W then transferred her over to the images of Bree and drew an outline of Jilians face and duplicated it 3 times. I think it is as good as I could have done especially since I was exploring photoshop while editing.


Sasha C- Nurse Mariana


 Nurse Mariana, this picture was taken at school, it was taken with Nikon 3200, I changed the filter and the brightest. I think this picture would look better if I would have taken it next to a desk or a front desk so it looks more like she is in a hospital.

David J- 4 Different Flowers


 This photo is actually multiple put together, there are pictures of 4 different flowers all double exposed on top of a picture of the checkerboard on my vans. I took it at the beach with my phone, and completely edited it with snapseed, also on my phone. I could probably do a few touch ups with sharpness and other small things in photoshop.

Julien F- The Redwoods


 The Redwoods is an image I took over this past summer. I went on a trip to California with my sister and grandmother and visited the park while over there. I wanted to truly capture the height of the trees along with the flourishing greens when taking this shot. My camera had died on my while on the hike so I used my iPhone to take this shot. I didn’t edit the picture at all and if I could redo this picture I would use my camera instead just to get a clearer shot to catch more details along with editing the contrast a little bit.

Katie H - Don't See Color


 The title of his image is “don’t see color”. This was taken by self timer at my house on Sunday. It was taken with my Nikon camera. I edited it by darkening the background and brightening the face, adding color to the face and body, and many other techniques to make it the way it is. I think it could be better if I darkened the background a bit more. If you get anything out of this image though, it is that you should not judge anyone on the basis of color. In a time where the country is divided, it is a reminder that we are all human. Do not let the oppressor fool you. Stick to your morals and overall, just be a kind person. 

Cameron Y - Locomotion


 This photo is titled Locomotion.  I was honestly surprised how well the motion was captured in this one, I thought it was gonna be really blurry since the train was moving.  I took this photo in Helena on some train tracks while exploring for good photoshoot areas.  I edited the lighting and colors a bit by making the image more saturated, have brighter highlights and have more defined shadows.  This image was a lot of fun to take as well because of the light thrill you get from standing right beside a speeding train.  Definitely a good image to start off my year.

Bryson S- Bryson S - Lejon


 This image was taken for the animal assignment last year. I missed the field trip and went with my dad, it was the last time I left the house once quarantine hit. This photo is interesting to me, as I took it through incredibly dirty, cloudy glass. The camera had a shallow enough depth of field, however, that it just added some exposure and nothing else. I didn’t edit much, I’m proud of how it came out.

Hayden M - Sunset Supra




The title of this image is called “Sunset Supra”. I named it this because it’s a picture of my friend's car taken at sunset in downtown Birmingham. It was taken with the Sony a7iii with a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens. All I did to edit it was throw the image into lightroom and play around with the settings until I liked it. I turned up the exposure a bit cause the original photo was dark cause I exposed it for the sunset, changed basically every other setting and made the image warmer in color. Honestly this is one of my favorite images so I wouldn't change much about it other than exposing the back of the car a bit more so it’s not so black. But yeah, car photos are my thing, probably not gonna see anything else lol.

Ainsley M- Sweet as Honey



 The title of this image is Sweet as Honey, and it was taken back in June of this year in my room. It was taken with a Nikon D3500 using natural light and my friend with honey dumped on her head. I edited it using photoshop to fix the honeycomb makeup and the way the honey was placed on her face, as well as color adjustment to make it warmer. I think it could be better if the way the honey fell was more controlled, but it was really hard to try and get it in the right place!
