Julia M- Drake

This is a picture of a dog I walked at the Greater Birmingham Humane Society last Sunday at 9:40am. I named the photo Drake because that is the name of this dog. What I did was I brightened the eye to enhance the color and glossiness and I sharpened some of the areas that weren’t clear like the nose and some of the whiskers and the eye as well.

Braden K - Flag

The title of my image is “Flag” and it was taken on my front porch. I took the photo with my Nikon D70 and edited it by making the hand and white part of the flag black and white with a soft yellow tint. I think I could’ve done better if I took it with more light, as it would’ve had better contrast and feel less flat.
 

Henry H - In Our Hand

 The title of this image is In Our Hand. It was taking in the studio last week. I edited by changing the lighting, clarity and contrast. I think it could be better if maybe a effect of something was added onto it. I like the angle the photo was taken at and the details in the photo.

Anastasiia O - Pinecones

 This is a picture of a pinecone that I took, in the studio of my photography class. I was kinda just taking pictures of things in there and this one turned out pretty cool. I kinda changed the lighting and made the shadows darker, so the picture is not as colorful, and I think it turned out not too bad. 

Angel M- Fish

 I took this photo in a Petsmart last November. I took it with my Cannon camera. It was edited using Nik Collection filters and Camera Raw filters. It would have been better if the background was sharper

Renea M- Friendship

 The title of this image is “Friendship”. Taken with one of the class cameras we have, and where it was taken is here at Hoover High School in the courtyard. September 29, 2026 is the date it was taken on. I didn’t particularly edit the photo because I thought it would just be good the way it is. It could be better by editing it more into a photo like. 

Hazel A- Juventud

 The title is Juventud, It was taken in the Birmingham state fair on the 26 of september at night, it was taken on my iphone 15 pro max, i edited it by changing, lighten and brightening the color and cropping it and it would have been better if i can change on the angle or do more adjustments but I do know I love this picture.

Kais C- Ruminative

This is Ruminative, It was taken at work of the eye and the picture of me in the eyes are from the studio in Mr. Rigsby room. It was taken with my iphone 16 and a rebel t7. I moved both eyes up and down AND brightened myself up in the eyes. I think the lighting could be better.

Caroline S- Frank the Cat

  The title of my image is Frank the Cat and it was taken over the summer when my family adopted two kittens. It was taken in my mom’s room and I edited it by removing distracting factors and brightening it a bit. It could be better if the focus on the cat’s face was a little less clear.

Reese J- Sunset

 The title of this picture is Sunset. It was taken in my front yard in mid September. It was taken with my olympus om camera.I edited it by bringing out some of the reds and pinks and yellows, it could be better if the tree in the middle was a little less out of focus.

Kingston C- Golden Hands

The title of this shot is called “golden hands” it was taken in the photoroom in Mr. Rigsby class. Not sure what type of camera it was, I messed with the exposure and saturation, I messed with everything that you could edit. I think the string could be a little less bright but overall I like the look of it.

Tucker C- Dad Shot

The title of this image is called Dad Shot. I took this photo on a trip we took to Georgia to a funeral in the car obviously. The photo was taken with my iphone air and the main tweaks I made was upping the contrast but it honestly was kinda the way I wanted it when I initially took the shot so very few adjustments. The photo I think could be better if the seatbelt wasn't in the way but that wouldn't look realistic and maybe have the sky on the left to be more gray to the sky seen in the front window. Overall I was very pleased with the photo especially for the lack of edits I made.

Addison G- The Games Untold

 The title’s name is “The Games Untold” like the cover of the book. All these photographs were taken either in the studio or around my house with items. I took it with Mr. Rigsby’s Canon Rebel T7 and my Canon RX100. I used lots of layering and honestly just messing around with filters for this project to work. I think I could’ve done better to color match my image to the original. 

Sarah J - Sunset over Appalachia

 This photo is titled Sunset over Appalachia. It was taken in Maggie Valley on the evening of July 16, 2026 on a camping trip in Smoky Mountains National Park and taken with my iPhone XR. We also went to this location at night to see the stars, but unfortunately, my phone couldn’t capture that as well. I edited it by making the greens more prominent, lowering the black point, and upping the vibrance and saturation just slightly. I tried my best to bring out the beauty of each of the colors in the original photo without oversaturating it and making it look unnatural. I believe this photo could be better if I cropped it better and made it less grainy, but, overall, I really love this picture.

Liam O- Seeing Through You

 The title is Seeing Through You, it was taken outside in the courtyard. It was taken this month october. It was taken with a cannon series camera. I edited it by first converting it to a raw camera filter. Next I merged both the background with my subject and the background without my subject. I then used the select tool to erase my subject and his insides leaving the background looking through him. I could be better if the background was a little clearer. I'm slightly disappointed with it because the idea felt better than the execution, but I'm pleased with how far I've come in my photography and how my work is being perceived. 

Anna G- The Peaceful Pigeon

 The title of this image is “The Peaceful Pigeon”. I took this photo in a park in Rome over the summer with my Nikon D5100. I edited the image by making it slightly brighter and warmer but I didn’t change it too much. I think some people think the photo would be better if her eyes were open but I personally really like how peaceful she looks with her eyes closed just resting under a tree. I love pigeons.

Aimee A- Angel of Versailles

 I named this photo “Angel of Versailles” with the help of my sister. I took it at an old church uptown on March 3, I took it with my Canon camera and I edited it by cropping the sides, making the background a little darker, and bringing out more of the shadows and the green on the angel. I think that I could have made it better if I would have cropped it from the bottom and top a bit.

River B- Pinkie

 The title of this image is Pinkie, It was taken with my s25 phone camera and it was on September 28th. I edited it by removing some of the obfuscations and cropping it how I like. This car got 7th place in the race sadly but it was one of my favorite looking ones.

Rachel N- The Pole

 This is the Pole. It was taken at Birmingham August 22, 2026. It was taken with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I edited it by trying to fix the blurs on the top of the pole. I didn’t succeed, though. But I fixed the coloring to make it better. It could’ve been better if I put more effort on this photo.

Denver C- Last Words

 The title of this image is Last Words. I took it in my driveway. I used my nikon d3000. To take and edit the photo, I used fake blood and dirt to cover my hand, and i dripped the fake blood onto the ground so it looks like blood is dripping from something, and I adjusted the colors and lighting a small amount and added a vignette. It could have been better with a better focus and at a better time.
