Final 12 Concentration Photos

These are my final concentration photos. I am really happy that I was able to capture the creepy mood in each picture. I am also very happy with the contrast and value, and great lighting as well. I don't know why some of the pictures are rotated weird, but I tried to fix it in this post and it wouldn't let me.

More Pictures....

Here are two pictures of a broken mirrior with the image of someone looking into it. I like the one where you can see her face more because it gives off a depressed mood. I love the value and comtrast in this!

My final picture of someone leaving a hat on the bed.

Here are two pictures of someone leaving shoes upside down. I can't decide between these two. Help?
I'm leaning towards the top one, it gives more of a creepy and disturbing feeling.

More Final Photos

Here are two pictures of someone pushing in a chair at an unwelcomed house which is bad luck. These are my two favorite pictures, but I need some feedback on which one to use for my final image. Sorry that the bottom one is rotated weird, I don't know why the computer did that.

Week 7

Over Spring Break, I took several photos that are portraying bad luck. I captured the moods and colors that I wanted to. I am currently working on editing and they will be up shortly!

Week 6

Whats Next:
This weekend I'm going to work on taking pictures of someone walking under a ladder and I'm going to try to find someone with a black cat, or I can use mine and just cover his black spots. I'm going to really be focusing on capturing strong contrast and value to give my pictures the more "creepy" effect. I'll also be taking pictures of things that are on my list on my blog. :)

Does anyone have a black cat? Or know of where one hangs out at? I am trying to find a black cat to take a picture of for my concentration theme and I need help!
