BOC Week 1 About Me

The photo here was taken on a foggy night of the Las Vegas town and strip. The town is where I grew up and most of my life believed it to be a dull and bland town. But after seeing the city for what it was I grew to appreciate the beauty of it. I say it is the beauty that becomes more interesting. I grew up to be more open and look more interesting as I live my life. I took this on Friday night in December at 10:30 pm out on the east side of Boulder Highway up on the hill. On that hill is just a protected park just for horses mostly and for running, biking and walking. But this night was a very mysterious night because Las Vegas is known for its hot weather and dry climate and cloudless days. The area I was at only had cactus and desert plants and bushes. It is all flat and treeless. I am so appreciative because with trees, one would have a hard time seeing the town. Most nights it is glittering lights along the horizon on the city line. It is still pretty. I took this with a slow shutter speed and high ISO to capture the lights and the lights reflecting off the fog around and above the city. It took me about over 50 shots to get the perfect shot because it was windy enough to move me and cold enough to be in that shiver state. It has been foggy for the passed few days and this one was an opportunity I could not miss. The next night was barely any fog at all. I wanted the night sky above to be a gradual phase from the fog to make it look mysterious and wintery.

Haute Couture is what every woman wants.It is a Haute Couture is a

"French phrase for high fashion."

It is that feeling of high fashion but only fits the few because of its size that fits her form. We want to be like them. Their style is our style because we want the best and first design that makes us the essence of epiphany and envy of everyone looking. The glance of the eyes wanting to be like us. We are the ones that are important. It is a moment of the feeling like a queen. We all want to be center of attention and marvel at our form and stature once we hit the red carpet. It is the woman's job or duty to dress as the best in crowd. The clicking of the paparazzi flashing their eyes at us as we pose the pretty or we say sexy pose to gain the media's coverage of high fashion. And the other side, the masters of the sewing room want their models to be fitted for their first piece finished. Who wears it in public will be their first customer that was on time from their first model. Who wears it first will be the one that everyone looks at. The fashion makers want their piece to be the best piece they have made. So that fit it to their model to portray their artwork. And for the photographer shooting the high in fashion wants the audience to see their work look like the first true version of that style. We capture the body work and make the audience see what we did not see before. We choose that character to portray the person wearing the fashion. It is that woman who wears this. She is the one that portrays haute couture of this outfit.

EOC Week 1: My Voice

Rachel is a creative photography who wants to capture what she sees in the world around her.. She has been doing four types of photos; therefore, they are portrait, fashion, architecture, and events. In portrait she has done different lighting to fit the mood for each. She made sure that they were lighted perfectly to convey a thought. In fashion, she did a Audrey Hepburn in her classic "Tiffany" wardrobe with the model acting the part. Another was a cowboy version that was fashioned with high style watch. The model posed the part with his flashy watch. In architecture, she had taken the strip, Brain Institute, Allure, Rhyolite and Nelson. On the new strip she captured the lights of the buildings to give it that HDR look. Each building taken from below to give it that vast and tall perspective. At the Brain Institute she took photos of the colors changing that contrasted against the metallic exterior for a off the wall type of architecture. At the old strip she showed her work to look like it reflected another building. The one building had mirror windows so you could see the colors of the other building. At Allure, she found that the interior had more interests. The inside had a certain glow and the windows had the outside making it a warm look. Rhyolite is an old runned down town from back in the 1800s. It was more of a museum type ghost town because of the statues around the area. There was a building that looked very ghostly but she took it with the sun just over the horizon to make it look alive. At night the she took it with different spots that made it stand out like it was ghostly against the dark night. At Nelson she saw old wooden buildings. She captured the old western style and the colors of farm and country in the old desert.As you can see she has done many types of photography that has laid the grounds of what she is and what she will be in the future.
