Sorry and here is the final one that I showed all of you!

Narrative Portait Set Week 2: Clueless

Gani Week 2

So, I didn't take these with our assignment in mind, at first. It was only after seeing my final image that I thought this might be appropriate for a picture that tells a story.

Denise's Week 2

So besides the fact that I keep epically failing to post them more than an hour before class.... here they are...

Nicole's Narrative Urban Portrait

So I was trying to capture the idea of "making a statement" and "going against the normal social grain" by capturing these two in a photo. HOWEVER, the shot I am actually going to use has NOTHING to do with these attempts, and is much more powerful. It was a one-time shot and there was no way I could do many attempts because it happened so quickly. Enjoy these anyway!

zoe's assignment 2

These are all images attempting to document UC Berkeley's protests against budget cuts in education.

Rachel's attempts for week 2

So I was out of town and missed the last class and didn't get the assignment until Sunday. There are my excuses for being unhappy with my photos here.

First I got the idea that there might be interesting things happening at the airport, so I went there. It was strange being there with no intention to travel and no one to meet. It wasn't very busy, and I didn't find much in the way of story. I focused main on the interactions of one family. The lighting was weird. I found the contrasts between the family's intimacy and the sterility of the space interesting.

Later, I found Berkeley High football practice happening in gorgeous light. I like these better, though I wish I could have captured in a photo the coach's amazing grunt of a scream that carried through the air. I liked the kid looking on, and how all of them were in some way learning masculinity.

Lauren's Week 2 Post

I took a lot of different photos this week. I wasn't thoroughly satisfied with my results and choosing a final photo was kind of frustrating. Two things that I'm having trouble with are:
1) Light - it almost never looks right!
2) Self-consciousness/ shyness over taking photos of other people.
Let me know if you have suggestions.

I did 3 separate shoots of my friend's band, Radio Rebelde. I tried some in b&w.

I wanted to do something with prostitutes, but I've discovered that I'm scared to death of doing so. This is one of the best I got: the girl, who looks to be about fifteen years old, is soliciting the two men in front of her (green & orange shirts). A young man (black jacket) passes and gives her a look of disgust. They all seem very nervous by the fact that I'm taking photos, and they end up not making a deal.

Aiden and Atticus: I hate the flash, but they look good together. I'll have to try something during the daytime:

Katie Week 2

For this week I chose to photography the rally/walk out at Berkeley. I was having a lot of trouble capturing the essence of the picket lines on campus, so I kind of chose to focus on this one little girl who was there. These are some of the images I came up with:

The idea I had in mind was to show how individual feels "small" in the big urban spaces sometimes. The first four pictures were planned, but then i had the feeling that it does not really express what i want. Then the fifth picture was just a surprise; I have seen it and thought this illustrates my idea in a much better way.

(sixth is the last one, it is not here but printed)
