"Once Upon a Time" Fairytale Photography Project

Photography Class Final Project:

Fairytales

Down, down, down the rabbit hole...

For my final project, I decided to take five portraits that are contemporary, visual depictions of well-known fairytale characters. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved reading fairytales. I think all kids do. But it seems that as we get older the magic and imagination that we have as a children fades in a way. I wanted to take pictures that reflect the imagination and innocence that we have as children, but forgot as we grew up. I think these storybook images are relatable to viewers because each of us heard these classic stories when we were kids. In that way I want my pictures to bring the viewer back into memories of their childhood. But I have put a modern spin on each of the characters, which keeps the photographs realistic- despite the whimsical nature of the subject I have chosen.

One Word Project:

Kourtney Hullinger

Driven.

"I chose driven because I am always coming up 

with new goals to push myself and I settle for nothing less 

than perfection."

Alli Badham

Clever. 

"I chose the word clever. Clever to me means smart, 

witty, sophisticated, funny, inventive, skillful, and resourceful. 

And I believe those traits could get 

someone pretty far in life."

Cassandra Taylor
Optimistic.
"I think it's important to have a good attitude
and enjoy all that life has to offer. Life is too short
to be bummed about little things.
You have to take the good and run with."

Right Where I'm Supposed to Be!

For this weeks Photography assignment, I was asked to photograph what Hawaii means to me. To me, Hawaii is a place where I can grow as a person, and also a place where I feel at peace. I know I am supposed to be right here, right now. These are my pictures!

                                                         

Photos of Our Little Island.

I am so excited to be posting the pictures from my first assignment for my photography class! I love nature, and organic art so these are pictures of things I found in my yard here in Hawaii!

Now that I really understand aperture and ISO, I feel like a new world has been opened up to me! I am excited to keep taking pictures and exploring photography as one of my new mediums!

Art Blog.

This is my new blog about my art and interests! This is a picture I took this morning while it was raining. I loved the way the dark palm tree stood out against the rainy gray sky. And also how the rain made the lines of the palm more visible, showing the trees texture.
