This week in a word? Lightroom. My workflow will forever be grateful for my friends at Adobe, because this program is a game changer. It helped me focus more time on taking the images and cut down significantly on editing. It gave me more time to be creative and conceptual. That’s why I decided to take on the eye photos. I’ve seen this photography before but I didn’t think I’d ever be able to do it myself. This week was so much fun because it forced me to look at the world in a new way. The perspective to focus on the ordinary and recognize the beauty in it is one that will bleed into every aspect of my life. I can’t wait.
My beautiful twin sister’s eyelashes with her blue eyes out of focus in the background.
An interesting shot of my eye. They help me see the world and now I’m seeing them in ways I never have before.
My friend Dax has beautiful eyes. Naturally I had get some shots of them.
My sister’s finger and idea turned out really well. Especially in black and white. I thought it told a more interesting narrative in black and white than in color.
A water droplet on my grandma’s succulent. I just liked the stark background with the textured bright green foreground
These photos were taken in order to play with interesting refraction and focus. I had a great time learning this new skill as well! On to the next one!
Hey Tiffany,
I love your macro images! The close up image of your friend Dax’s eye is phenomenal! However, if I were to pick a favorite it would be your image of the water droplet on the “succulent.” I like the way in which you decided to frame that image and how you have the contrast of the dark background with the green foreground. Over all great job, I can’t wait to see what you come up with next week.
