Best three portraits

I like this picture because it shows her personality, and also her environment, because you can tell she is sitting by a pool on a sunny day.  I liked the lighting from the sun reflecting off of the pool and the blue theme throughout the picture.  I also liked the tree in the background to give more contrast.  The reflection of the blue of the pool is very pretty in the corner of her eyes as well. 

I like this picture because I edited it to bring out the blue in her eyes.  It is from a good angle of her and it has a classic black background. The blue theme in the picture is pretty in my opinion and is striking compared to the black.  I turned the clarity down a little bit to soften her face and the lines in the picture. 

I think that this portrait is nice because there is good lighting from the snow outside the window, and you can tell that she is deeply thinking about something that is outside the window.  I turned up the contrast and also added fill light because the picture was too dark.  I think that it is still dark, but it adds to the mystery of the picture.

Daguerrotype

This is my daguerrotype photo that I edited on Photoshop.  A daguerrotype was the first successful photographic process where the picture was made on a silver surface sensitized with iodine was developed by exposure to mercury vapor.

These pictures were taken in downtown Portland.  I edited them in Lightroom to bring out the shapes in each picture.  I think that these are the most interesting shots because they show more than one type of shape and they are unusual.

This is my triptych of a statue in downtown Portland.  I brightened the colors and turned the clarity up in Lightroom.

This is my diptych of my aunt's dog. I liked this picture because they are of the same subject, but the point of view of the camera is different in each picture.
