  My passion is music. Though it can't be easily seen, it is symbolized by the brick wall that represents Pink Floyd's “The Wall” and Rush's “2112”. The whole concept of the picture is myself being in a dream. A dream in which I am walking on a pathway to my future. The clock within the pupil of the eye represents that I only have so much time to fulfil my dream. The way to the future is past the eye. The influence of the band albums in the image hint that they will help me and inspire me to fulfil my dream of being a musician. The bright blue sky symbolizes a bright and exciting future in music.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Architectural Photography

This example of perspective is an excellent "Architecural Photograph"
Photograph by Jordan Bulhoes


   When I see this image, it reminds of Broadway. I find it to be very bright with the red colours being brought out from the background and giving life to the image. The photograph also has a darker side with the silhouette and the alley way to add contrast. This image is a “Man and Architecture” theme that holds the three photo techniques of editing, posing, and colour.
   One of the photo techniques I used was editing. The original picture was lighter and dull. To fix this I started with auto levels. After that, I used a brightness/contrast setting. I turned the contrast down and the brightness up. Bringing the contrast down enabled me to turn the model into a silhouette. The brightness enhanced the background colours. After these settings were adjusted, I then used a saturation adjustment. I brought up the saturation to make the darker parts of the photo even darker and really exaggerate the reds. I wanted to increase the red's rich look. After I adjusted all the colours and contrasts I sharpened the photo to accent the red door in the background and the outline of the model.
   The pose in the photo is very crucial about the picture and defines the images' message. The pose gives the picture a dramatic Broadway feel. It is the main part of the picture, it draws attention. The pose alone makes the picture worth a thousand words. It was a great pose for the location in which the picture was taken.
   The last thing that really makes the photo is colour. The frame around the model would be the arch and the walls. I made these darker to frame the main elements of the photo. This being the red colours and the model. The bright reds give the photo life and highlight the model. The light at the top of the arch also adds much life to the photo by accenting certain spots of the photo such as the top of the models' head, and the ceiling of the alley way.
   Numerous elements in this photo work. The colours work well with the dark frame. The model made an appropriate pose and it fit well with the surroundings. When I see this photo not only do I picture a Broadway setting, but a dramatic movie poster picture or a street performer. There is an element of dramatic mystery because you can't see the model. It's only a silhouette, yet this man and architecture image has a powerful message.
