Terminate the Hate

Downward Spiral

Taken by Dana Pistone
Model: Vianca Lugo


This photograph was taken for a photoshoot that I entitled "Masks and Frames". The other images portrayed Vianca wearing the mask in dead-on portraits. This print contains a more interesting angle and composition than I usually use, which has showed me that I need to create more work like this.

Truth Untangled

For the spirituality assignment, I wanted to capture and encompass something that has nothing to do with religion or specific beliefs, but something that has a more individual meaning, one that the viewer can interpret and relate to based on his or her own life experiences. The setting, the way the girls lounge, and their connection to nature and the environment hopefully speaks to the inner spirit of all viewers. I hoped to capture what I felt and witnessed as I photographed them; their carefree, pure, free-spirits, and the inner peace that radiated through their skin and made them seem somewhat goddess-like, even angelic. Using filters, I wanted to create the most contrast possible, especially because the girls were wearing white and the background of the forest is so dark. I think the contrast definitely adds to the visual impact of the photo and its meaning, whatever it may be to each individual.

Believe.

This is a double negative of "praying" hands and the view from my back porch. My theme is spirituality and I really think when people view my photo that's what they would think of. I picked these two pictures and put them together because praying is what people do when they want to "speak" to a "higher" power and the background of the sky and sunrise makes the feeling pop even more.

"CURLED"

My main idea for this project was trying to portray emotion in each photo.
I like to think I succeeded,, mainly because everytime I look at her face in the photo I just sense depression. Overall, I am very proud of this photo.

Matthew by Megan Barringer

I was taking pictures of the stream outside of my cousins' house and they told me that they wanted me to take pictures of them. When I took this picture of my cousin, Matthew, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. But after I printed it, I realized that I really liked the contrast of the picture and how the photo follows the rule of thirds. This picture made me realized that I like taking portrait style pictures.

Bruise Easy by Sarah Kaplan

 I find the surface of skin very interesting to photograph. I'm experimenting with different designs on skin all over the body. I'd like the meaning behind this photograph to be open to the viewer's interpretation because I'd like everyone to find some kind of personal connection to this piece.

Neurotic Nightmare BY Andréa Dassie

We were assigned DREAMS as a topic for photos. I decided to sandwich the negatives of my little brother and a tree and got this wonderful combo. The dark branches with it's light undertones remind me of the nerves in a brain and something like a NIGHTMARE, the complete opposite of a dream. I LOVE THIS PIC!!!

High School by Shamari Brodhead

This is a picture of the one and only Kingston High School. You see this part of it when you're driving by the front of the school, when you want to enter the building, and even on the school website. Knowing this I thought it would be idea to show it from my point of view. (Tall, beautiful, and aged) Along with it I experimented double borders, as you can see, making it look heaven like.

Pensive By Faith Shiber

I've always loved watching peoples expressions, and seeing their reactions to things. One day my friends and I were out to dinner and i looked down to the table and there was my friend, so content so thoughtful, so......pensive.

Skin Graffitti by Joseph Geraci

My model, Josh McCagg, was a wonderful sport about modeling his own personal graffitti. This picture, taken in a library, underlines the beauty of skin graffitti.

Basketball Shadow

This photo was a wonderful accident. My twin brother shot the basketball and i took a picture of the ground while the shadow of the basketball and the hoop were in the frame. Even though he didnt make the shot, the angle of the ball's shadow makes it look like it is going through the hoop. I like this photo because its amazing how a great image can be taken without you knowing.

Afterlife; By Dana Pistone

This photograph was taken for our first project, with the theme of "Afterlife". I had natural lighting from a window, and I also used a clamp light to create the washed out, disappearing ghost effect. I did not know how the photographs would turn out when I took them, as my original idea was to do a double-exposure in the darkroom to show the "soul" (a lighter image) leaving the body (a darker image). When I developed the film, though, this photograph ended up being my favorite, because she looks like a ghost. The model is Vianca Lugo, who appears in the majority of my work.

Dream

Dreams are confusing places. there are images everywhere. things that would normally be completely absurd seem to make sense. There are often a few things that stand out from the confusing haze. a singular idea, separated from the confusion and darkness.

Mystery By Brianna Hinchey

This photo is left to the interpretation of the viewer. Why was the umbrella left there, opened... How did it get there...???

I-Solarize

I am a very experimental photographer. This photograph was originally taken to take up the last couple of pictures on a roll of film. I eventually used it to edit using solarization and bleach. This is not commentary, and has no meaning.

CHILDHOOD

I was inspired to take this photo right after we had gotten about a foot of snow.  I loved the way the trees and everything outside look like a "winter wonderland".   I went outside looking for something that really caught my eye.  I was trying to focus on the first swing the most.  I liked the way the white snow looked piled against the black swing seats.  I'm happy with the way it came out.

Madeline

My photo is of Maddie.  This is one of my favorite photos.  I chose this picture because I love the way the light highlights her face.  I feel that this is my most successful picture this semester.  I chose this viewpoint so that you could see all the emotions on her face.  I really like the way all the highlights accent Maddie.
