Business Card

1. The focal point of my card is the camera image, which is intended to then draw the reader's eye down the vertically designed card.
2. The business card promotes me as a photographer. As I mention below the necessary information, I offer portrait and special event photography. I use my phone number and email as the simplest means of ontacting me for more information on my previous work.
3.It is kept simple and streamlined for a professional look.

Alphabet Art

"L-O-V-E-L-Y" S.Smith 2013

For my alphabet art project, I chose the word "lovely" because it's one of my favorite words and the word "love" was too short for the requirements. I use this word in my vocabulary a lot. I wanted to link the pictures together with a common theme, so I used track/running images from the Groups track meets I went to watch on 6/1/13. My legs and shoes form the first L, a turned water bottle makes the O, the V is formed by a bent pole vault pole, the E is the 3 upside down on the track, the second L is a #7 lane assignment sticker I found, and the Y is made by Laura cheering for the boys' 4x100m. I love track so this was a really enjoyable project for me to complete.

Photo Walk 5/31

S.Smith

This photograph is one I took on our most recent photowalk to Colonia DairyMaid. I took this picture becasue I thought the forked tree looked like a Y and i was considering it for my Alphabet project.

Watermark

This is my watermark, which reads: "S.Smith Photography" posted on an image I took in my backyard.

Dyptich #2

S.Smith 2013

For this dyptich, I really wanted to make good use of the daylight, so I decided to shoot it outside. I really wanted to include my dog in a picture with my sister, but she's not always cooperative so it took a lot of patience to get the shots I needed. Ultimately, I am happy with how this piece came out because I think it captures a bright, happy vibe. In the first picture, I photographed my sister holding up a treat for Molly. In the second, she has eaten the treat and then began to bark, which I caught on camera. I like this picture because I think it looks like Molly is excited to get her treat.

Dyptich #1

"Winner" S.Smith 2013

I shot this picture hoping to capture a piece of the track life in it with an official start and then a victory at the end. This dyptich serves as a "before and after" for the race that Christian and Brandon volunteered to pose for. The lighting was not completely cooperative but I think the slight shadow makes the image more interesting. It gives the piece more contrast, which I also enhanced slightly in photoshop. Free Transform was an extremely helpful tool in achieving this image.

Pieces of Kennedy Photowalk

"Sunny" S.Smith 2013

This is Sunny, the school's mustang statue. This horse was a part of Kennedy history and used to be at the school. After a long leave (Sunny is featured in Weird NJ), Sunny was brought back to reside in our courtyard again.
