Liv R - Coloboma


The title of this image is Coloboma. A coloboma is a defect in the iris of the eye. I took this photo in the studio with one of Mr. Rigsby’s cameras and a macro lens. I edited this photo with the levels tool (my personal favorite tool:  you select if you’re changing the bright point, mid-tone, or black point and it adjusts the rest of the image accordingly.) I also used a Nik Collection filter. I think this photo could be better if I were able to get even closer to her eye. I had a lot of fun learning to use Macro-Lenses!

Alex B- Sweet Boy


 This image is named “Sweet Boy” because when I met this cat at a park he instantly walked over to me and let me pet him. It was taken and Bluff Park Elementary Playground, was taken on the 25th of april with my iphone SE 2nd generation. I edited this image by making the image sharper and making the cat’s eyes very saturated with the sponge tool. I could make this better if it was a better camera.




Trevor P- Melancholy


 I call this picture Melancholy, I took this image for the architecture assignment. I like this picture because it makes me wonder what the story is behind this. This is at an abandoned building that has been left barron for a few years now. I wonder what caused the building to be shut down and why work was put to a pause. I took this image with my Nikon D5100 and added a film filter and played with the colors a little.

Aidan P- Shark Eye


This image is called shark eye and was taken with my iphone at the Ripley’s Believe it or not Museum in Tennessee. I took this during spring break of a robotic shark eye that was used for a robotic shark submarine model. My main editing was used with the Nik Collection and specifically the color cast to try and give it some underwater colors in the background. The eye is not perfectly centered but it was kind of hard since the eye was always opening and closing. I also didn’t notice it until a while after I took it. The center of the eye is also a little blurry which I don’t like but it was mostly because of the light. I still think it’s an overall a clear picture with most of it and the angle was pretty lucky.

Mary Mason P- DIsney


 I named this image Disney because it was taken at Disney. It was taken in Magic kingdom at Disney during their fireworks show. It was taken with my iphone 12. I didn’t edit it. I didn't think it needed editing.


Raven L- Contrast


 This picture is called Contrast because it is two different architectural buildings next to each other creating an interesting contrast. It was taken on March 27th of this year with my iphone 7. I increased the blackpoint and the brightness. I wish I had my camera on me to take pictures with better quality. I also wish I took more than one angle instead of taking the picture while I passed by.


Caeden H- Pretty in Pink


 The title of this image is “Pretty in Pink”. I took this picture in my grandparents backyard on April 10th. I took this image with my Iphone 12 Pro. I edited it by increasing the brightness, color, contrast, and saturation. I think it could be better if I had been able to isolate the flower so it was the main focus.

Tyrick H - Pictorialist Candle


 This is a picture of a candle that was taken in the living room of my house. I took the picture with my iPhone 11 pro. I edited this image a few different times. This is most likely my favorite way. I added filters and added different colors. It was really fun editing this picture and one thing I would probably change is that I feel that I should have taken the image at a different angle.


Marshall H- -- Chat Noir


 The picture I chose is called “Chat Noir” which is French for “Black Cat.” This picture was taken by my iPhone 13, it was a really sunny day and my cat was taking complete advantage of the rays. I didn’t do much to this picture besides crop it-- my camera picked up the cool glare.

Alexander M - The Road


 I titled this photograph The Road because I wanted it to match the bleak and apocalyptic atmosphere of Cormac McCarthy’s novel, The Road. I took this on the walking trail behind the school on February 22nd with my iPhone X. I edited this to saturate the colors and reduce the blueness of the sky. This could have been better had I introduced more color to the image to make it less brown.

Ani W- Stranger Things Action Figures


 I've titled this image Stranger Things Action Figures since this photo is of two characters from the Netflix show Stranger Things, (yep very creative with naming things, not). I took this image over the weekend in a dark hallway of my house using my Canon Camera. I edited this image by using some of the Nik collection filters from photoshop. I really enjoyed staging the characters, using different types of lighting, and editing the photo making it look like a scene from the show!

Sydney R- All In the Wooden Details


 The title of this image is called, “All In the Wooden Details”. It was taken at a church somewhere outside of Hoover the week before spring break for my Architecture project. I shot this picture with my Nikon D3500. To edit, I cropped and rotated the image a bit, and then used the Camera Raw application in Photoshop to mess with the brightness, contrast, blacks and whites, and the overall color of the photo (Which I made slightly green). I wish that I had edited out the object in the bottom right corner since it messes up the composition of my photo.


Santo P- Cars


 This picture was taken in Homewood after work. Here is my car and a friend's car too. I call this picture Cars. I took it with my iPhone 11. It was about 11:00 pm.

CAROLINE M- Spring


This photo is called spring, it was taken April 11, 2022, at my neighbors house for a last minute babysitting job. It was taken on my Iphone 8 plus. I didn’t really do anything to edit it except mess with the brightness. I wish I had my camera so it wouldn’t have been so blurry. This picture was supposed to be funny because the cat was looking at me weird but as soon as I took the picture he moved his head.

Madison S- Nostalgia


 The name of this Image is Nostalgia. I took this picture when I was on a cruise in Mexico and it just gives me good vibes and I really miss the beautiful view.

Akelsa N- Disney


 I TOOK THIS PICTURE AT DISNEY DURING THE WEEKEND BEFORE SPRING BREAK TAKEN WITH MY PHONE I EDITED IT IN PHOTOS.


Adam T- V8


The title of my image is V8 because that is the engine that is in this specific Corvette. It is one of my friends’ dad’s old 73’ Corvette. It was taken outside around the time of the architecture assignment and was taken with my Rebel XS Canon camera. I edited it by just dimming the lighting so the reflection of the sun isn’t as blinding and you can capture the components of the engine. I feel as if it could be better if I got a bit closer to capture more details.

Ayla S- Fort Morgan


 This image is titled, “Fort Morgan.” It was taken in Fort Morgan over Spring Break. This photograph was taken with a Canon Rebel T6. I took away a few distracting rocks in this photograph using the healing tool. I also increased the saturation of the brick, the grass, and the sky to make it more vibrant. I think it could be better if it was taken from a different angle.


Nora G- Shadows


 This is called Shadows. I like it because I like how I took 4 different images and put them all together. I think the lighting is bad but I like the way it looks anyway. I didn't edit the lighting because it would get how I wanted it too so the only edit is the adding other pictures to it. 


Connor G- School House Rock


 I took this picture downtown at an abandoned elementary school. I upped the lighting and put it through the nik collection and this was the result. I really like it.
