  About the Photographer

Time Period: 19th Century (1890-1976)
Location: United States
Object/Subject: Landscapes,Portraits,Abstraction,and Architecture
It makes him unique by how he takes the photos that combine with the art concepts such as abstractions, patterns, and still life objects that pave the way to the modern photography in his era.

My View:
I chose the photographer because Paul shows us a lot of geometric shapes such as in the modern way an art form into his masterpiece.
Paul inspired me by showing a lot of still life that is along with the abstractions and lot of clarity to help me see a lot of structure and things in a different way.
It change me while I work on the the project the way I take the pictures that shows a lot composition that can combine the art concepts along with the photography in the modern way and as I take some photos that is similar to Paul, it is very fascinating to observe on how he combine his familiar patterns and shadows in one masterpiece.

The Background On the Photo Editing:
There are the 5 photos in this post that familiar to my master photographer. I edited them in the black and White film in the Camera Raw. As I edit these, in the 2nd post and the final post, I cropped the unwanted stuff on the background, but give it more clarity so you can see the lines and shape. Mainly give more exposure and clarity between the shadows and white so you can see a lot of lines and shape that is in the the main objects in all of the photos.

Self-portrait of One of my Members in my Group

  My Picture of Divine B.

I take a group portrait in one of members in my group. I edited it in Camera Raw. Mostly I applied mostly exposure so you can see more light as you see from the left side of the room as if the sunlight from the window shine on her face. Some contrast and highlight so you can see the background very clearly. And I applied some  clarity so you see the lines of her face.

   Self-Portrait

I edited in Camera Raw once again. This time I darken it a little bit pretty much on the background, I use viberance tool so I can stand out from the background.

           Depth of Field Photo

   

I edited Camera Raw.I make it  brighter and darker by contrasting the whites and black in between so the tree can be in focus. Also highlighted the scenery so you can see more clearly.
