Famous Photos Reinvented

Afghan Girl- Steven McCurry
This photo is of a 12 year old Afghan girl at a refugee camp that McCurry had the chance to snap a photo of. Her eyes are what makes her unique and beautiful. This year, I want to recreate this photo, emphasizing the beauty in someone's eyes.

Yoko Ono and John Lennon- Annie Leibovitz

I heard the meaning behind this photo from Mr. Dewberry and was completely mind blown.
John Lennon posed naked hugging Yoko Ono, showing that he completely trusts her. Being naked is a human's venerability, so I'm not completely freaked out by this photo anymore. I want to photograph a couple to portray the love and trust they have in one another just as Leibovitz did as instructed by Lennon.

Tears- Man Ray

This one is required. I'm thinking instead of a face with tears, I'll have ice with googly eyes on it... Haha, weird. No I'll think of something interesting.

Flowers Idea

Photo By: Unknown

This picture reminds me of my photo I took two years ago~ I like the lady bug on the right flower. I also like that neither flowers are in the middle of the photo.

Photo By: Fabio Visentin

I like taking macro pictures whenever I take nature photos because it zooms in on the beauty of a leaf or a petal. The water droplets look really nice.

Photo By: James Carr

I thought this was an awesome idea. I want to ice my flower.

This picture has a clean background and the colors a little muted. It's dead center on the photo, but it has some buds sticking out to the side of the photo, essentially balancing it.

Pretty Ugly Ideas

Photo By: Ron Kowalke

I like the composition of this picture, where the cars are stacked up but also are in a line. 

Photo By: GuitardoG

This photo seems very simple. It's a rusted shed in a field with trees in the background.  The shed seems to stand out against the green.

Photo By: allsoulsnight

 This picture reminds me of the photo I had taken of dead flowers last year. I really like photographing wilting plants. It looks really cool.

Leadership Portrait Poses Ideas

I thought about taking a picture like this, but closer for the tight crop on the face. I like that the tennis racket is "overlaid" on the woman's face, so I was thinking that the racket's top is under the eyes if I make the picture really close to his face.

This midshot looks strong and it shows that he is a tennis player. Arms outward on men make them look sturdy. 

This pose seems modest. It's like "yeah, I'm a tennis player. Hi." It's a full body picture, but the photo on the bottom looks more fun to photograph.

If the feet were showing, this would be an awesome full body picture. It shows that he's ready to play, which my leader is. 

I just like this picture. It doesn't show the player, but it shows what the player does.

Movie Poster Ideas

So, I'm not into bands and stuff... So movie posters seem more appealing to me. 

Plus, I was in Video Production last year and I made movie posters (ugly ones).

I went to AllPosters.com and found the posters.

This poster has a reviewer's quote at the top to assure the potential audience that the movie is worth watching if you want a thrilling movie. The title is bold behind Ryan Gosling's head and it has a catch phrase. The image itself is Ryan Gosling holding a bag and (I'm not positive) he's walking away/leaning on the car. It matches the movie title.

The Harry Potter poster is an action poster, showing Daniel Radcliff, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint running in a forest. It's a part of the movie, showing fans the "action packed" movie this is.  There's not much text other than the title.

This poster is of V for Vendetta, showing a bald Natalie Portman and that guy in a mask. I haven't seen this movie... But I really want to. Anways, there is a logo for the "V" which is in the movie and there's also a catch phrase in the top right saying "Freedom! Forever!" which I can only guess that it's the theme of the movie.  There's also a  line of people above the title and a negative space under it. 

Cupcake Ideas

Photo by: Lauren Souch

THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER! Cupcake burgers!!! Oh my god, I had looked through ten pages of cupcake pictures on Flickr to get to this picture. I'm not sure if someone saw this idea or not, but I want to make a cupcake burger now.  It's so cute~ I really want to eat those. 

Yeah.

Hands Ideas

photo by: Nathan Moody

This picture reminds me of a picture like, three years ago, where there was a picture of a head, but all there was on the face was the mouth. It's pretty cool. This is like "talk to the hand" literally. I like it.

photo by : Rodney Lewis

My little brothers like to play games, and over the break, they've played more than they should've. They exercised their thumbs and index fingers a lot. I took pictures of my little brother playing, but I probably need to reshoot after seeing some better ones.

There is bacon.

I like bacon.

holiday card ideas

Holiday Critters and Photos

This card is really cute, and since there are four spots, I can make a card for my parents with a picture of all my siblings. I like the concept of this card. It's like those fair pictures where you put your head in the hole with the buff dude or the beach chick. 

Modern Lettering Collage

This is a nice card with multiple photos and text. I like the simplicity of it; the text is bold and easy to read, the christmas tree, and the circles. I think the B&W picture work well with this design because there's a color theme going on with the light blue and orange.

12-Photo Collage Present

I think this card looks very nice. I don't think I'd put that many pictures on the cover though, but I like that there is a ribbon on the card, making it look like a present. If I made a card like that, I can use a real ribbon to make it look like that, which would be very cool.

Color Ideas

Photo By: Raja Indra Putra

This picture reminds me of chinese new years. I really like how the lantern in the front is in focus while the other ones are out of focus. And it's red. I like red. But I like blue more.

Photo By: Amelie Le Fabuleux Destin d'

I love that little lady bug. It's so cute. The red isn't popping though.

Photo By: Ali U

This looks very awesome. I love how they used a mirror and the sky had beautiful clouds that day for them to do this photo. The water is crisp and clear in this photo as well.

Time Exposure

Photo By: Oscar Burriel

This picture looks SOOOO cool. This picture makes me think of Da Vinci's diagram of a man. I think I should do that.

Photo By: Carl Rosendahl

I loooove that twist in the throw of the dice. It looks very nice. It's like the leading line to the dice, which  is on the rule of thirds.

Photo By: Carl Rosendahl

I really like the trails the billiard balls leave on the pool table. I also like how the balls are in the triangle, so it's like showing, "we were like this... and now we're everywhere else."

Yearbook Ideas

ITS SO ADORABLEEE

Photo by: CADiver

This picture. is. adorable. Enough said.

I like how the paint bottles and paint brush in front of him is out of focus.

Photo by: Tennessee Wesleyan College

The students look busy and intrigued with the lab they are doing. They're all doing different things.

Photo by: Chloe Winn

This picture is cute. The couple is kind of on the rule of thirds. I think it's a little too green...

Fashion Ideas

Photo by Andrew Baily

I'm not in love with this picture, but the idea that's portrayed is lovely. I like the colors of the picture overall. It's somewhat grey, but the leaves are little bursts of color.

Photo by Matt Andrews

This looks like it was taken with hipstamatic or instagram, but apparently it's not. I like the wind in this picture. It made the field, her scarf and hair lean towards the left. I'd like to do something with wind, but instead of having the hair blow into someone's face, make it blow away.

Photo by Tony Di Lorenzo

I love the close up on this model. She's pale which matches the background and there's red on her hair and lips. I'm not sure what the powder is on her face... I had an idea of what I wanted to do, and this close up made me enhance my idea.

Architecture Ideas

Photo By: David Gutierrez

This photo reminds me of going to Universal Studios over the summer. It has very vivid colors. The angle is just straight up. I get dizzy staring at it too long. Haha.

Photo By: David Gutierrez

Same photographer, cool. I love the translucent staircase and a person's silhouette walking up the stairs. The repeating lines of the staircase make a leading line towards the left of the photo.

Photo By: Andrew (without a last name...)

This picture of a Japanese temple has really nice lighting. I'm not sure if it was taken like that or if he went onto photoshop to do it, but I love the faint vignette and the blue tone to the picture. It gives the temple a really eerie feeling. Because I watch japanese dramas and anime, it's quite relevant to what temples are portrayed as.

Self Portrait Ideas

O_O I've been in this class for 4  years now. Why do I need more self portraits -_-

Photo By: Yuto Watanabe

This photo is adorable! I like that he's "holding" a camera and he has different expressions for each of the photos. He only used one lighting source for this picture.

Photo By: Matt Penning

It's like the bill just came, and he's not happy about it. I like the idea of putting the camera inside the mailbox. I wish that red thing on the left hand side was gone though.

Photo By: Daniel Sheridan

This photo is such an awesome idea. It's creative. I think his nose should've been blown off, too. That's okay.
