Artist Statement

Hi my name is Devon Cheatham and I'm going to tell you about my portfolio In my portfolio you will find my mind in all the picture that you see. You will definitely find my heart and soul in each and ever picture that I toke and I made in photoshop. I think I could do much better with my portfolio. The reason why I haven't got some of the project because i wasn't here for some of them. Well the one that is how to the use the photoshop program. I knew how to use a camera when I stand in my Digital Photography class. And I thank my teacher Ms. Cook for teaching me how use it. Now i think that i was most successful in Photoshop because with the program i could my crazy but personal mind to all the picture that i have tookin.

I think I did my best on the vampare.

Compositional Trick #7 Drawing with Light

Drawing with light was and always be my favorite because in this seaction you would have to find a dark background but a strong light.

Compositional Trick #6 Framing

Framing to me is a technique that photographers use to help guide viewers eyes to their subject. A frame tells the audience to look inside.

Compositional Trick #5 Extreme Angles

Extreme Angles is taking pictures from difference angles like from a birds view and a worm view. Now in this photo I did something that any person would do. I put my hat on the horse.

compositional trick #4 Simplicity

Simplicity was the hardest one to find but I find it in picture. Simplicity is when you don't want a lot of stuff in photo but you and your shadow.

compositional trick #3 Marco

Now Marco is a very fun time to take picture because all you are doing is taking picture up close. It like the camera is a marcoscope.

compositional trick #2 Leading Line

Leading line is what took you to the emphasis even the whole picture. In the photo; you see the emphasis is the four tree in the middle of the circle but the leading line is the shadow of those four tree.

compositional trick #1 rule of third

Rule of third to me mean that you can find something that you see and that is touching your heart. This picture here touch my heart a little because you have a good healthy tree that is very beautiful and shiny green. Then you have on the left side a dead tree that not healthy and very dead brown. Sad to see one tree running out time but the other is having the time of it's life.
