Potrait Series


"Keep Calm And Volley On"
My artwork fully represents me and what I love to do. All five photographs show a volleyball and it is the main focal point of all the pictures. These pictures show my extensive love for volleyball and how much it makes me happy. This art piece reflects my personality and interests. I want these black and white pictures to show simplicity and the real beauty of the pictures.

Photo composition



Rhythm: repetition of elements that can create a sense of movement, and can establish pattern and texture

This picture represents rhythm because of the repeating poles in the railing. The poles are the same throughout the picture. The repetition makes the photo a rhythm picture.

Low- Key: dark, less intense, and inactive

This picture represents low key because it’s dark and the tone of the colors are black and white. The subject is also clear and has a dark background.

Angle- Up: the picture is taken from the bird’s eye view (up), eye level (straight), worm’s eye view (down), or tilted/slanted 

This picture represents angle up because the picture is taken from worm's eye view. The picture is taken from the bottom and you are looking at it from the bottom up.

Distance- Medium: the amount of space between the camera and the subject (far, medium, and close) 

This picture represents distance because of the space between the camera and the subject. This picture is an example of distance medium. In the picture you can still see the whole subject but in more detail than a far distance picture and you can't really see everything around the subject.

Focus- Sharp: the sharpness of softness of the picture

The picture is an example of sharp focus because it is clear and you are able to see all the details. It has crisp, sharp edges and the subject in the picture is not blurry. The lighting helps make the picture sharp.
