Photography
For four weeks I've been getting an introductory course in Photography as part of my graphic design education at SintLucas. I learned how to work with a professional camera, how to edit photos, and how to choose a photo series that is consistent in form, light and colour. This is a showcase of all assignments I've done over the course of these four weeks.

Architecture - Detail photography
The assignment was to create a photo series of five photos showcasing details in architecture. The background had to be blurry, while the detail element had to be sharp and crisp.

Portrait photography
The first two portraits were shot by me, while the rightmost one is a photo somebody else took of me. All of the photos were edited by me. I went for a bit of a sepia tone, as I felt the photos would become a bit too lifeless when fully black and white.

Architecture - Form and Lines
For this photo series I chose the theme 'Form and Lines'. All of the photos contain diagonal lines, and the photos have been taken at an angle. The colour schemes and lighting of these three photos match as well.

Architecture - Rhythm and Repetition
The theme I chose for this photo series is 'Rhythm and Repetition'. The repetition can be found in the windows and balconies of these buildings. I chose these three photos to be a series because they are all similar in composition, light and general shape. The buildings all have different colours, but I think it still works as a series because of the matching blue skies in the background, the photos being taken at the same angle, and the fact that they all contain these repeating shapes.

Still Life with a Twist
The assignment was to create two still life photos with a twist, meaning that something had to be odd about the photos while still being aesthetically pleasing. On the left hand side I placed an Oddish in a teacup, and normally you would not have a Pokémon (or a plant for that matter) in a teacup. The twist on the right hand side is all about the contrast between the realism and grittiness of the diver statue, and the rounded forms and cuteness of the other items.
