This project is mixed media, painting, sculpting, and photography. It took about  4 months to create. This was the first mixed media project I have ever done. In the process of making this me and my partner Maria Ledezma kept changing our minds on what to with it, that's probubly one of the reasons why it took us a while, but at the end we liked the results of our project. We had to think of what materials we were going to use, the colors, and the placement of things. It was a very lengthy process. Even though it needs a little more work done to it, I think for our first time it came out pretty good.

Manjari Sharma's Shower Portraits

Manjari takes beautiful pictures in the shower with complete strangers and they share their most intimate moments with her.She makes them feel comfortable in their surroundings, they look relaxed, as if they weren't even there. They reveal their true selves in this photo shoot. None of the pictures look posed, they're not trying to look pretty or anything, they're just letting loose. In the first picture the model looks relaxed, like there's no worries in this world. In the second picture the guy looks thoughtful, like he's thinking about something in his past, but I love the way she captures the water falling down her face. The both look very vonerable.

In this assignment I also learned how to edit my pictures but I also learned to erase blemishes. I used the clone tool to erase anything that was out of place [my hair].
In this assignment I learned how to use the brush tool and how to edit my picture. I also learned that if you're making your own background you have to make it match with whatever is on your picture, you can't just put anything and expect it to look good. I think I did a pretty good job but could of done better.

This picture looks like it was taken during the afternoon in a gloomy day. The way this picture is organized is not really balanced. To the left of the picture, there is a tree which the girl is leaning on. She's sitting on dirt and infront of her is a man looking down on her.

In this picture you can see the trees in the background and the woodshavings on the floor. He's holding something in his right hand. It he's layeing on the wood shaveings looking towards the camara. This picture was taken during the day. This picture was taken outside. I think this picture is better than the other ones she has done.

she could of done better with this one. in the picture there is a lot of trees in the background the boy running towards the other kid looks blurry , they're the only things that are blurry in this picture. there is also buildings in the background. around the tree in the center there is 3 colored rings . you can see 5 benches around him too. it was taken in the morning. i still say they could've done better.

there is a fence next to her. there is a lot of plants around her it looks like she cut her arm off on the picture. this picture looks like it was taken in the morning. the picture is kinda blurry in the background i think she didn't intend to do that.

in the background there is dry grass , a fence , and more dry plants. it looks like the girl was jumping off those steps and the guy was jumping off. the girls arms , legs, and face are cut out the picture. in the shot she is in mid air but the guy was berly about to jump. there is a red line on the ground that looks like a no parking fire zone. this picture was taken during the day . her blue shirt kind of stands out in the picture.
  In this picture is see a guy walking down a street that looks like it would be in Downtown. There's a big storage cabnet to his left that has some tagging on it. In the left hand side there's a chair stacked against the wall. In the background there is a table and a chair and it looks like there's more cabnets behind the table. There's also a fence next to him. He's standing towards the left side of the picture. It looks like she kind of cut out his feet at the bottom. It looks like she wanted him in focus but not the background. This looks like it was taken in the morning because of the light by the table. I think she made it black and white to show an urban look to the picture. I think she could of done better.
