Photography at Cincinnati's School of Creative and Performing Arts

Amazing photography work from my after school photography class at the School of Creative and Performing Arts. We studied elements of art in photography: line, color, pattern, shape and composition. We looked at framing your image to keep out what I call 'noise' or those distractions that take away from the focus of your picture. And we also studied wide angle shots, fill the frame shots and lastly for the following sets of pictures we captured some great depths of field with blurred out backgrounds. I think they did a great job!

I should add, the class also studied post photo-processing that is why you see black and white, variations of colors, and some tweeking with filters. Again, great job!!

This picture shows our latest shows the patterns and lines we studied. They captured these elements very nicely! Good use of the model's body as a line! Creative kids...

Aaron did a great job with this shot. We practiced taking shots from various angles,
stooping down, just a variation of moves of our body to capture interesting shots.

Aaron's patterns of leaves! Nicely done...

Annabella's got a great eye! She loves capturing a shallow depth of field. She gets right up on her subject and it automatically blows out the background for a great depth of field.

Nice post photo processing of the Boyz from Annabella.

Max, is an amazing photographer, but he is just so unassuming that you dont' think he is paying attention and he is soaking in every angle, every shot that no one sees but him.
Wait to you see the next shot; it is Max's...wait on it...

Bam! Only Max could see a shot like this! I was wowed by this shot of Cincinnati Music Hall. He
used special effects through post photo processing, but again the angle the composition is unique as
only Max could capture it. He also captured this week's lesson: patterns and lines.

Celeste loves wide angle shots of everyday people. She loves capturing the so to speak, back story of a picture. You wonder when looking at Celeste's picture what is going on with the people in the story. She did this while capturing lines and patterns.
