Week One | About Me |




About me: My name is Krystal but I guess you would know that already, you found my blog somehow. I am a Journalism major but I think i'm leaning more towards photography. I wanted to take this class because it is two subjects that I love, Journalism and photography. I started "photography" when I was really young. Something about capturing a moment and being able to look back at it whenever intrigued me.

My Goals: My three goals for taking this class are to take good photos that everyone can enjoy. I know right what is considered a good photo, I believe that a good photo is one that makes you feel something and it makes you think about it. Figuring out my own style is something i'm really trying to figure out. Also I just want to have fun with it! If you are not loving what you are doing then what are you doing?

LBCC Photos: I think that the sports teams would be good subjects for a photo shoot. Something about matching outfits and balls gets people's attention I guess.



Three subject I believe that would be great are the people in the cafe, the people of The Commuter, and just life around campus.

Topic One My first portrait subject is Jonathan Ropp he is an LBCC student who is considering going into criminal justice. The best environment to shoot Ropp would be in the learning center because that is where you will always find him studying. Props that could work are student books or a binder on a table next to or in front of him. Either by email or in the learning center. My next portrait subject is Mirkayla Hedlund she is also a student her claim to fame is not knowing where she wants to go with her life but she enjoys going to school. The best environment to shoot ms. Hedlund would be in the cafe where she is found either eating and studying or the learning center where she is found getting tutored and studying some more. Some props that would work for this shoot would be any school supplies like books, binders, or pencils/pens. I plan on contacting her by either email or text. Topic Two The best photo I have taken in this class so far would be any of the photos f

Photographer of the week: Name: Cindy Sherman Cindy Sherman is best known for her conceptual portraits, she is also a film director where she made multiple films. She has also been awarded with 4 different awards the Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts, MacArthur Fellowship, Hasselblad Award, and the Glamour Award for The Superstar. What stands out about Sherman's photos is how she can make herself look like so many different women. Cindy Sherman's claim to fame is her portraits. Every one has a life of its own, a story it tells that is different than the last. Cindy recreates and creates women throughout time. Topic Two:  So far I find the book very intriguing the way she is able to put us in her shoes like we are actually there gives me shivers. I don't think I could handle what she does with the blood and death, I couldn't watch that. I couldn't just take photos I would want to help but then I would be too scared too.

Topic One: 1.  I will be photographing Sweet Home OR, because I have lived there for most of my childhood life. 2. Three ideas that I have for the shoot are the lake for the overall, my portrait will be of an employee at Sugar Vibes who happens to be a student at LBCC, and my activity shot will be of the theater at night with a line and the neon lights on. 3. The biggest challenge I will have with these photos is the night one at the theater because I struggle taking darker photos. Topic Two:  1. One photo story I could do is the farmers market in Corvallis. Who: The people of Corvallis and whomever has a booth. What: Farmers Market When: 2. The other photo story I could shoot is a day at the Strawberry Festival with LBCC students. Who: A Student What: Strawberry Festival When Saturday June 2nd
