Pictorial Lines

This week, I was tasked to show different types of pictorial line in photos—leading lines, decorative lines, and arrangement of lines. This is my first composition series this year. It being my second year taking photography, I've done published a "Pictorial Lines" series before. I found this task easier this year, but I noticed that I faced similar issues. It was harder for me to find arrangments of lines and it was easier for me to find decorative lines. In other words, it was easier for me to find these lines, but harder to isolate them. I tried to find a scene then find lines within it, as opposed to the other way around, finding lines then finding the scene.

I used the same camera settings as I did with Danny. I had Pablo light up his face to make it visible in the dark. Pablo did more of the photo taking over the light painting, so I thought that highlighting his face in the way was appropri...

I took this photo of Owen, Tim, and Jack on the northwest corner of California and Brodrick. My goal was to make them pop from the lighter background of the buildings while keeping the aesthetic of the previous drafts. I worked more with the shapes of the original photograph but highlighting the windows and the buildings.
