reaction paper guest speaker

A fine art photographer

Sandra Carrion is a fine art photographer who I absolutely loved listening to. She truely helped me and informed me on things that are helping me make the right descions as a student and new photographer. Although I enjoyed her, some of the points she made, were making me wonder a little bit about photography and if there was something else I could look into that could co- inside with that job and hobby of mine.

Some of the tips she gave us was to never quit your day job, and get a night job to! she says it is quite helpful. She also said you have to get your masters, and to eventually become your own boss. when your your own boss you can pretty much do what ever you need whenever you need to. Next she told us the personal taste has a lot to do with the field of photography, and competition, you have to be creative in order to sell.

She said that you cant take winning or losing to personally or seriously. She said always shoot for winning good on your resume. Next sandra said if your going to show your work do it in the best possible way you can afford. then she added, don't just use copy paper , always put your best stuff foward never leave to imagination. Sandra also said visualize something before you shoot it. She recommends tri-pods, that is a good technique for bracketing!

Sandra likes HDR high dynamic range photos. With all her work she takes the best of all brackets and compiles like a layer all together. Then she adds on, don't let any one say digital is easier or cheaper, she then said neck, back, and carpel tunnel never really appeared as much in dark rooms. then she revealed her top ten list of things that should be going on, present, and such while being a photographer, keys of staying a thriving photographer.

reaction paper art exhibit.

So I really enjoyed the teachers art exhibit each piece had its own unique style and diverse meaning. I found it incredible that the people teaching me had art work at such a professional, and beautiful level. While looking around at all the art work the piece I found the most interesting was the piece by Jeff Epstein, "South End, Rockland, ME 2008". I myself have a passion for oil on panels, some of my own art work is done with that style. I find it so much fun and entertaining to look at abstract, beautiful art. Some abstract is at its best when you cant really tell what it is and not realist, but they are at there best also when its abstract but in a way you can completely tell what the picture is. While looking at all the artwork I grabbed the packet that had pricing for each piece of work because of curiosity. I couldn't believe how much each piece was, being that I cant even make that much in like three years. I guess that leaves me to wonder how they figure out there pricing, and what makes them able to make it that price. And while thinking of that I thought well being and artist photographer my self, I take up a lot of time doing shoots or creating my art piece that, I would also want to be paid that amount too.
