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!

Faye M- False Idol


The title of my selected image is “False Idol,” only because I wanted an edgy title. It was taken in the studio but I don’t know when, probably a few months ago. It was taken with a Canon Rebel t6, and I edited the crap out of this thing. I started with a basic contrast adjustment in order to exaggerate the shadows and the highlights, which was later added to with a surplus of dodging and burning. Then, things got weird. I started the weird-ification wth the eyes, removing the eyes and replacing them with skin using the clone stamp, and later layered the horizontal static overtop. I added the circle behind the head, and added the static swell as a blue color to go with the overall color scheme. I like this photo because of the texture of the skin swell as the colors of the skin, the warm and cool. I like the way it is, but commentary and criticism is always appreciated!

Alexa P- Lamp Post


The title of this photo is Lamp Post. It was taken on February 14th in the schools courtyard. It was taken with a camera. I edited it in Photomatix as an HDR for the HDR assignment. I edited it by applying a filter to make the sky in the background look a little bit cooler and grainy. I am not sure what I could do to make it better so I’m open to any ideas of what could improve this image.

Anna S- Dazed and Confused


I titled this photo “Dazed and Confused” because Katie told me about the movie. I took this photo in my room of my friend, Tennyson. We put foil up against the bathroom mirror and used my colored lamp for lighting. I edited this by taking the main photo, I previously edited, and applying a double exposure filter on it using another picture I had of her. I really like he way it turned out.

Ainsley M- Milk Bath Photoshoot

This picture was taken the other day at my house with a Nikon d3500. My friends and I did a milk bath photoshoot and added flowers into the tub. I edited it by clean up the milk around their faces and rearranging flowers to make this fit in the image a little nicer. I also added the black and white filter before adding brightness and contrast, as well as darkening certain parts of their faces. I also brightened their eyes a bit and the flowers in the water! I really like how it turned out and I’m not sure why I would change!

Spencer B- The Structure of Nature

No Statement Provided.

Yuliana Z-Wrapped In Plastic Revision

This is my revised version of my photo Wrapped in Plastic of my oldest sister. I decided to go in a different direction with the photo. I tend to make my pictures very dark and after I took up Mr. Rigsby’s suggestion of lightening up this picture, I found that I liked it better. To me it showed more vulnerability in her since its bright enough to see more of her body. I also increased the detail and contrast to bring more awareness of the plastic shower curtain, trying to resemble a film she hides behind. Increasing kept the darks of her hair dark, brightening the photo helped show more of her as well as showing more of the reflectiveness from the shower curtain, and increasing saturation brought more colors in the blues reflected and her skin tone and lips. I decided to take off the lines because to me they were distracting and I was trying to put more into my photography, but I felt that it took away from this picture. I also decided to remove the “glitch” effect because I wanted the picture to be more clear and easier to understand. I liked the original idea I had but I prefer this new version

Olivia N- Limelight


The image is called Limelight and was taken in the studio. The photo is a portrait and was edited in Photoshop using the Nik Collection. I edited the image by increasing the contrast in order to have the subject become more of a silhouette. Also, the background was increased in saturation in order to have some sort of lighting in the background. I think the picture could have better if it wasn’t as dark and grainy in certain areas.

Katie N - Untitled

I don’t have a name for this photo, but I took it over the summer at Yellowstone. I saw a huge patch of these beautiful purple flowers and just had to take a picture. I edited it by adding saturation of course, then added contrast so there was more detail. I then lightened the water droplets on the flower to make them pop more. I don’t know of anything else to do to make this photo better.
