Photo Essay~ 1

This week we are being challenged to create a Photo Essay. Our teacher is allowing us to choose a theme or topic for our essays, and now we are supposed to go and take pictures of our topics. For those of you who don't know what a photo essay is, its a combination of photography and journalism all wrapped in one that depicts a story through the objects within the photo, and the emotion portrayed through the photo. The topic/theme I'm using for my Photo Essay is Texas, hope it turns out well, wish me luck!!

Black and White plus One.

My Example

This past week in Photojournalism we learned the technique known as Black and White plus One. The use of the technique is having a black and white photo with one glimpse of color in the photo. The photo above is my example of this technique. The color seen in the photo is the actual color of her eyes. We were able to expose that color through the use of Photoshop. Knowing how to utilize this technique will not only increase our knowledge regarding photography, but also makes for awesome, and unique photos!
