Alison Miller_ Website
Here's my updated website link.
For where I am wanting to go with the site- I need to stay on top of keeping it up to date and refreshing the work I show. I also want to create a landing page (like Greta's and Roger's sites) which I am hoping to do real soon.
As for my project, I am hoping that it can carry over into senior show next semester so I can focus on how I am wanting to print and frame the works to display in exhibitions. I am taking the feedback for my artist statement and considering how to incorporate the suggestions into it to make it stronger, which hoping to be done to share with you all on Thursday.

Akira Barnes_ Week 14_early update
Hello everyone, I wanted to share some of the new photos I have shot.
One of the photo sets that I re-did was for two of the asian gods Kagutsuchi (Fire God), Fujin (Wind God), and Thor (God of Thunder). All these images I was considering for my final selects.
For Kagutsuchi I took the class's advice and tried to push the fire idea a little more. As you can see I did change the background to an orange blanket. The only thing that kinda concerns me is how much fabric stands out. I feel that could become a problem.
For Fujin I also changed the backdrop from the I used previously. I felt as though this backdrop's pattern kinda of micmic winds moving and the sky which is why I picked it.
For Thor I was finally able to find a hammer and did some shoots with that. I also tried using the same background in Fujin's pics as well.

Akira Barnes_Week 12_update
Hello, everyone I know that this is late but I still wanted to share what I worked on during spring break. I was able to go visit a Michaels and found some additional items that could help with my boxes. Surprisingly, I have still yet to find any small snakes for my medusa box. However I did find a variety of realistic snake stickers that I'm going to try to put to use. I was also able to find other stickers to through into some of my boxes.
I forgot who suggested in class, but I did go out and got some nice card stock and made various symbols like confetti to add to some of the boxes. I did some shoots with these improvements, once I get a chance to look through them I have plans on posting a few.
I'm currently setting up my website using adobe portfolio for the time being it easy to navigate. I'm not sure 100% how to arrange things
Akira Barnes_Week 13_Artist Statement
Hello Everyone, sorry for being M.I.A just been very stressed about classes and graduation. Hope everyone doing well. :)
I have a few different versions of my artist statement. I've been slowly tweaking with the help of Dr. Colaizzi
Artist Statement
.
Mythological Starter Kits displays abstract portraits of various mythological figures, through the usage of found objects accompanied by prints. The choice to present the contents in gift boxes, was to allude to the fact that the Gods could give gifts and powers to mortals. Working on this body of work was refreshing due to the vast amount of creative freedom I was given, with little to none restrictions. Mythology has always captured my attention, and being able to incorporate that into this body of work. And further expanding my knowledge on the subject also made this project more enjoyable.

Dominick Bellamy Week 13_Artist Statement
Hello, The past week I've just been getting everything prepared as in finding and order picture frames and finishing up my final pictures. I've also worked on an Artist Statement.
Music and art have been around for centuries and are still to an extent undefinable. Over the years, these two subjects have changed drastically, coming with different genres and emotions. With this series I will be conveying these various moods and emotions that come with music. I will also be showing the ineffable side of music using various photographic techniques like double exposures, motion blur, long exposure etc. With each picture I would like to put you inside the world of music.
Alison Miller Week 13_Artist Statement
Hey everyone! I've heard theres been a lot of progress in senior show and am excited to see the show all put together! I know y'all must be getting excited as well and looking forward to graduation :)
For the blog assignment this week was an artist statement rough draft so heres mine;
Food for Thought: Origins is a continuance to a project exploring American culture through cuisine. I continued with the theme by mimicking the 16th-17th century still life paintings and vanitas that feature food as an allegoric reference and boasted the value of food as a correlation to religion, wealth, and even the transience of life to the country of origin. Focus was placed on the evolution and modification caused by society's influence into what is now considered the American staple food. Through my investigation and research, I have observed that much like the American individual, these foods have heritage stemming from other countries and cultures. The images presented offer viewers a perception of historical and contemporary aspects that are encompassed into their basic everyday routine and provokes evaluation of their ancestry that influences their identify.
Let me know what you think and/or any suggestions to make it stronger. See y'all on Wednesday when we get together for the artist talks.

Roger Evans_Week 11
Hello!
This past week was figuring out the website and making sure all the photos I wanted to put on my website are correctly formatted. I used the Adobe creative cloud portfolio for my website and it was kind of confusing at first but once I got the hang of it, I couldn't stop messing around with it! I pretty much have everything I want on it, I just got to make some more finishing touches. I will post a link to it for week 12.
I also ordered and received my 17x22 paper and the only thing left to do I'd figure the framing out.

Emily Vassar_ week 11
This week I took many and the rest of the photos for my project and I plan to edit them soon. I also fixed the portrait horizon problem.
Emily Vassar_ week 10
This week I worked on creating a website on wix and finding a logo to match my company name, Mei.KngPhotos, which goes with my middle name. I created services and started adding my photos as well.
Alison Miller _ Week 11
Hey guys,
I know the day is still young, but wanted to go ahead and post so I don't forget. This past week has been busy of managing assignments and getting things flowing or done. I think we are all feeling the pressure of the end of the semester coming.
There isn't too much to update about my site except that I have updated and added a CVV. I have also began the process of preparing and uploading photos which has been a little time consuming trying to decide which ones, but its coming along. So far I have decided to add both the series of the fine art food, separately though as they were created under different intentions (convenience and origins) and the one series from last semester that documented myself as a military spouse. I am going to continue to cull through previous works/series and see what would be a nice compliment to the page, probably at least some work from my "journey" project.
I hope to have enough done to the site to start showing how it's looking soon! Hope everyone is doing well and if any of you figure out how to clone yourself to get more done let me know :) (dorky joke I know haha)

Akira Barnes_Week 10
This week I'm gathering various materials and really trying to make the contents speak to the subject. I learned this week that in my painting studio they have bunch of backdrops and various props. So I have plans to see if there's anything of use in there. I also have plans to start working on my website, I kinda no idea where to start 😅. I believe last time we met Alison had mention that Adobe portfolio allowed you build a site , so I'm gonna try starting there. Another concern I have with creating the website is I don't think I'll have a lot of sub sections besides the work from this class and probably my contact info.
So this week will probably be another week of planning and gathering materials.
Akira Barnes _Week 9
After browsing through a few websites two of them stood out to me who are photographers who work I enjoy, Raven B Varona and Andrew Lau.
Raven "Ravie B." Varona is a photographer based in New York. When looking at her portfolio, you'll notice plenty of faces familiar looking faces. She normally is tapped by artist in the music industry to capture their portraits. What I liked about her website is that even though it has the photographer minimalist touch. I like her inclusion of green color and I think it really nice touch to add to website. On her website she just has photographs pertaining to her work. But it breaks down into commercial work, editorials and etc. She's probably my top photographer at the moment, I really enjoyed her work she did with Beyonce. And it was how I learned of her as well.
Andrew Lau was a photographer I had personally discovered through instagram. His work caught me eye at the time because it centered around street photography and fashion. And I was super interested in shooting sneakers like jordans and nikes. Over the years he has turned his focus on just street photography. What I loved about his website is that he had like a personal photographs tab on his website. It contained pictures from his travels around the world and they were still website quality good.
Questions
1. Are they any designs or things to stay away from when creating a website? Most photographers websites are simple and straight forward. But appearance wise its very boring.
2. It may seem very unprofessional but as a last resort could you use a tumblr as a photograph website?
3. If you don't photograph multiple things had should you create your website to showcase your expertise?
Sunday, March 20, 2022
Alison Miller _ Week 10
I feel like we had a great discussion about websites this past week and I enjoyed see how much everyones projects had progressed!
As I mentioned in our meet up I am using Adobe Portfolio. It comes with the creative cloud subscription so technically free and so far seems easy to set up. I did purchase a domain because I am hoping it will motivate me to keep up with it more after getting it going. The purpose of my site is to serve as a portfolio. I am not planning on selling or marketing anything on it yet, but will have a contact page just in case someone is really interested in a piece. So far I am keeping with the simple, clean layout to get everything up and going, but I will probably tweak things as I go. This week I am planning of culling through some work and getting it up and brainstorming on what I want my BIO and CVV to include.
I kinda wish I already had the website ready because at the symposium on Saturday I was asked by a few people if I had one and/or a card. I am now adding a card to the short list of things to get done. :)
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Emily Vassar_ Week 9
Hi all! I hope yalls spring break went well!
For the websites based off of the syllabus, I was surprised at how much I appreciated the minimalistic websites. I usually like the complex and graphically intriguing websites, although I noticed it was more helpful to have it minimal to avoid distractions from the works. I also like the websites that had many options to get information on the artist.
Although I did not like the websites that were hard to navigate or did not have many easy options to look around the site, I also did not like the bold-colored font websites.
My questions are...
Do the artists ever exclude any of their artworks, or do they show all of the art on their websites?
Does one have to have a lot of money to have a website?
Does one need absolutely need a website as a photographer? or can they just use social media?

Roger Evans_Week 9
One artist’s website that I enjoyed was Shane Rocheleau’s. Although his website is kind of plain and just slightly on the bland side, I like how simple it looks. I also like the fact that his biography is nice and short compared to some of the other artist’s websites I looked at. I think if he included some more interesting features or colors, the website would be much better.
http://www.shanerocheleau.com/
I enjoyed Mark Peterson’s website a lot and enjoyed the darker background of the website. It is different from a lot of other artist’s websites who only use the typical white background. His layout is nice but the only thing missing is his biography. Unless I missed it, I didn’t see one and I think every artist website should include somewhat of a biography so viewers of the website can know more about the artist.
I like the layout for McNair Evans’ website because it looks clean and professional. I like how you have to move your curser on the image to see the title of it. If all the titles were there, I feel like it would be a little smushed. Another thing I also liked was the sizing of the text on the different pages.
https://mcnairevans.com/information/about/
Three questions I have about websites:
1. I noticed that a lot of artist's websites have plain, white backgrounds. Is there a reason why people prefer it (if it's distracting) or if it's alright to have a different colored background?
2. When writing a biography, should it be short and to the point or should it be just lengthy enough that the viewer gets a good understanding of who the artist is? I noticed that there was a mix of short and long biographies.
3. Is it better to stay professional or throw in a little bit of personality on the website? If that makes sense.

Alison Miller_Week 9
Hope everyone has had a good spring break! Mine was not the greatest and since Tuesday been occupied with a family emergency, but I’ll share the details later when I see y’all. However, the past day or so I have been getting back on track with my goals of finishing editing for our meet up and looking at the websites from the syllabus.
So far, I have learned that I like websites that are sweet and simple. User friendly essentially, but not so simple that everything is laid out on one page (hope that makes sense.) I like how several of the photographers including the ones I listed break the projects up by names and the navigation bar allows the user to select through them instead of being overwhelmed by a lot of photos. I feel that the average viewer could lose interest quickly, and best to break it up.
I found Martin Parr’s website creative in how he used clipart for the links. Its not my particular style but its neat how it utilizes it without it being too much. I also like how Lynsey Addario has a slideshow of her work scrolling on her homepage. I put Greta’s as a selection also, because I have been helping her with some updates on it and it has helped me appreciate the clean layout that I mentioned earlier as well as how a few of her projects have a caption that pops up when rolling over an image.
https://www.karolinakarlic.com
As far as the questions I have…
The information put into the Bio/about, is it best to be in the first or third person? Do people honestly really read it? Should it be kept short and sweet?
Headshots? I was told by past instructors to include them on my bio page, but I have seen a mix of websites that do and don’t. What do you think?
I’m sure more questions/thoughts about websites will come up when we talk on Thursday, plus I think I’ve written a lengthy enough post ;) See y’all soon!

Akira Barnes_Book Part 1
The first part of the book was very insightful, I learned things a few things that I didn't know. One of those would be the three kind of main categorizations of how you approach photography. I personally see myself in the experimentation phase considering I really don't know what my "thing" is in photography yet. I also realize while reading this part that I don't really have an idol photographer and I feel like its ok and its not lol. The last thing really stood out to me was that I didn't know there was art residency programs at all. And now that I know they exist I kinda want to look into those more. Because personally I'm not a hundred percent how to keep myself involved in art after school.

Akira Barnes_ Week 7
Hi, you guys so with sets of pictures I'm still experimenting with how I want to arrange the items. And trying to get a feel for what boxes work best for the subject matter. The photos are for Medusa, Thor, and Pandora.
For these pictures this was my attempt in redoing Pandora's Box. For a refresher, Pandora open's a box she wasn't suppose to open releasing all the sickness in the world. My attempt is represent the opposite of that. I was thinking of maybe for this box I could write a little note that says "sorry :)" or something in that realm.
If anyone has any suggestions on whether the new background I'm using works. Or whether having multiple boxes or just a singular works. I'm open to any suggestions.

Dominick Bellamy_Week 7
So I've just been trying to experiment with different types of music and trying to find unique setups to represent this. When I say types of music I don't really mean genre, but more so Happy, Sad, Love music. I've taken a few pictures of a couple of setups and I plan to do more with my friend's speaker. I want to focus more on party music this week since I've been more focused on the calm side of music.
Emily Vassar_project_week 7
For this week, I decided to work on working on thinking of ideas, I came up with:
-take a photo of a cat or my cat in a pan or wok
-take a photo of me lifting weights
-me next to a nice car
-Asian dish with a fork
I also took some photos this week of double my identity with Asian makeup and outfit on one side and American on the other
Roger Evans_Project Week 7
Here are some projector photos that I said I was going to show. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to doing the mask photos yet but will definitely have them to show for when we meet up this week. I have included some thumbnails.

Alison Miller_Week 7
Hey everyone,
Time management was hard this weekend, but I managed to get two more sets done. I am focusing on getting things edited from last and this week to show on Thursday when we meet up again.
Until then here is one of the sets I did with a pie...

Emily Vassar _ week 6
This week I found more stereotypes through videos and peers, if you can think of any visual photography ideas for these following stereotypes that would be great!
stereotypes:
- shy or quitet
- all look alike
- don't speak English
- if not white washed a FOB AKA fresh off the boat
- good at math
- covid prone
- only knows karate or jujitsu
- short or small
Emily Vassar_ Book_chapter 4
For this chapter, they talked about portfolio reviews and why one should participate in one, and what to expect. I found it important that they said: "to be realistic on where your photography is at." This is important for both people who think too high or too low about their work. I was interested when they provided the literal websites for the grants, I will definitely look them up!
Akira Barnes_ Week 6
I haven't had much time to shoot this week due to personal things and work. So I've been focusing on the content of the box and try to make sure they translate more. For the pandora box, the box that had to do with sickness. Just for a refresher, Pandora opens a box and releases all the sickness into the world. My idea is I want to represent the opposite. My original photo and idea contained Clorox and cleaning items. I went through my medicine cabinet and found these items and was thinking I could use the items photographed below instead. So this I'm going to try shooting that box.
Also for the Medusa Box I was able to find these little figurines. I wasn't able to find snakes yet, but I have plans to go Walmart this week and look for some. As well as Items to create my box for Thor.
Akira Barnes_Week 5
Hey guys I know I'm a little late haven't been feeling well, but after we had met a few weeks ago. I went to thrift store and dollar store and was able to find some gift boxes and a new sheet to use a back drop. My plan is to reshoot the Medusa and Odin with the gift boxes and see how they turn out. I'm realizing I may have went overboard with the blue.
Sunday, February 20, 2022
Roger Evans_Project Week 6
Roger Evans_Book Part 4
In chapter four, the author talks about portfolio reviews and what to expect when participating in them. Some things that the artist should consider beforehand is the quality of the paper, the image size, the presentation and the pitch. Another part of the process that is discussed are the leave behinds which are "marketing materials to leave with each reviewer at the end of the session" (p. 97). Another topic that is mentioned quite a bit is crowdfunding which is raising small amounts of money in large crowds of people.
Dominick Bellamy_Project Post Week 6
I wasn't really able to work on any more concepts that I have. I took one more setup, but I plan on taking more photographs this week. I actually got some advice from my Senior Show class to listen to music while I take pictures to see what emotions I feel. I was also told to take a walk and listen to music and something might stand out so I plan on taking this advice and incorporating it into my plans for this week.
Alison Miller_Project Week 6
For the project this week, I made a goal and narrowed down a few food setups so I could finally get shooting again this weekend. I did have some success at the thrift store and found a few items. Greta also loaned me a couple of items that will work with a few setups.
I don’t have any final images to show as I have been multi-tasking this weekend and haven’t downloaded the images yet to the computer. I am wanting to attempt one more set this evening before I do that and spend the week editing them. However, I figured I would show a sneak peak of the root beer float I just finished capturing.
I will say that jeez ice cream melts fast under these lights
Alison Miller_Book Part 4
As usual I found this part of the book informative. The portfolio review is something I had never considered outside of the academic setting. However, it makes sense and perhaps something I could look into in the future, even though the idea right now is intimidating. I was glad to read about funding and grants. I know this is a big thing in fine arts and even tried for a student level one time (was denied), but as expensive as projects can get, I believe it will be necessary in the future to help achieve goals.
Overall, I am thankful Greta selected this book for us. It was a nice read and easy to follow as the information for the most part is up to date. Before I return it, I will be jotting down many of the source websites the author listed.
Tuesday, February 15, 2022
Roger Evans_Book Part 3
A lot of useful information about entering photographs into venues and galleries, along with how a photographer should correctly submit their work. I knew that a photographer could submit their stuff to galleries and everything, but I didn't realize how many places a photographer can submit their work. On page 57, it was really cool to read that various groups a photographer can partner with to create fundraisers and such. I also enjoyed reading about the contests section because the thought of entering a certain amount of work for a contest sounds really fun. There's just so many possibilities and opportunities when it comes to getting out there and start getting known which I think is exciting.
Roger Evans_Week 5_Project Post
I don't have anything new to show for this week, but I have thought up some more interesting concepts and plan on pushing the concepts a little further. One that I'm excited to get to work on is where my younger self (like high school) is wanting my older self's (currently) help but current me is reluctant to help him. This kind of plays on the concept that when we are younger, we want to know how we are going to turn out as adults or something along the lines of that. Still in the process of figuring it out!
Sunday, February 13, 2022
Emily Vassar_ book_ chapter 3
For this chapter, it was helpful to see the tips on how to write up for galleries, and how to set up an exhibition proposal to be shown. To be honest I did not know quite a bit of all the tips that were covered in this chapter, such as book publishing and including experiences from people in the same field. I found it interesting and helpful for the future was the questions that i should ask a gallery before being represented by them. All the small details became big in this chapter which lead me to understand more for sure!
Emily Vassar_project _week 5
For the project id like to thank yall for the helpful feedback! this week I've taken a couple of pictures, and hope to post them soon. I've also done more research on the topic. ill let you all know if I find more information that could use help in ideas.
Alison Miller_Project Week 5
Hey everyone! Thanks again for all of the suggestions from when we met on Thursday! I don't have anything new to show since we've met, but I have been pondering a few ideas. One is that while looking at my set of "stuff" I feel like it may be risking getting repetitive between the sets. So I am now on the look out for new items to add to the collection. Maybe I'll get lucky at a thrift store in the next day or so, but I did find this awesome tea cup (candle) at Micheals today while picking up a frame. Isn't it cute!
Akira, you came to mind while I was browsing and I found these objects that perhaps may inspire some of the accessories or ideas for your project.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
Alison Miller_Book Part 3
Part three of the book was informative and thought provoking. To start thinking of what we want our work to be, but who our overall target audience should be as well. I really like how the author included tips on how to do write ups for galleries & book publishing as well as including insight from people with experience in those areas.
The section about calls for entry and contest stuck out to me because this is something so easy for us to access. I have done it with a few photographs and artwork. In fact, I have had work exhibited in Budapest. While the entry was nothing special, makes for a great line on the CVV! What came to me after reading this part is me questioning why I am not searching through this opportunity more often.
If you don’t already follow Lenscratch on Instagram, you should as they have open calls for photographers. Callforentry.com is also another one I have had a few interesting ones so up. Like the author said is some would cost but there are free ones.
Sunday, February 6, 2022
Dominick Bellamy_Week 4
I don't have too much to talk about.. I have just been working on a few more concepts and ideas. I worked on a few setups that came out really nice. I took several shots of each setup and I just have to choose which ones I want to keep and take out. I'll continue working on some more setups this week. I also think I want to work on some photos that have grain in them to give them an old fashioned feel.
Emily Vassar_ Chapter 2
For this week's reading, It was pretty long but It turned out I liked it because I found so much helpful information. It was great to be able to learn about how to produce an artist's statement, and what especially to avoid. It became more clear when I read the examples as well. I was glad to learn about the pricing based off of the editing or size. I feel it will definitely help to go back to this information for the future.
Akira Barnes_ Week 4
Hi, everyone I've been working on my boxes and try different compositions with the items. Right now I'm working on a Greek mythology box, "Pandora's Box". To give a little background, Pandora was figure in greek mythology who opened a box she wasn't suppose to, releasing all the sickness and death in the world, killing a great deal of people.
For my box I wanted to do the opposite of representing sickness and death. I wanted to do a box where it represented health and cleanliness. Currently I'm playing around with having multiple boxes in one photo or having some items not in the box. Another thing I'm testing doing a still life set up and focusing in on labels on the items. My hope is to arrange some of these photos in a collage like manner.
Emily Vassar _Week 4 _ Project Post
Hey all for this week I decided to drive to NOVA to take a family portrait, I personally like the photo for a keepsake, although I'm not sure how I feel about the photo for the project aspect. right now I don't have my camera with me, but I will show it on Thursday for class.
Roger Evans_Book Part 2
Although chapter two seemed a bit long, it was packed full of helpful tips to writing artist statements, figuring out the size, edition and price of the work an artist wants to make, along with coming up with a brand and website. I found the section about writing artist statements very useful because when it comes to writing statements, I always get stuck on what I want to say but I appreciate how the author included examples of both successful and not so successful artist statements. I also want to quote this sentence from page fifteen. “Do not dilute the impact of your project or series by including weaker photographs to meet a self-imposed image count.” I should take this advice because whenever I make a series, I always set a goal for how many I want instead of only including the best photos and taking out the weaker photos.
I found the section about sizing, edition, and pricing to be interesting because I’m trying to figure out what sizes I want my prints to be for the end of the semester and it’s good to know about pricing in case I want to sell any photographs further on in my career.
Alison Miller_ Week 4 Project Post
Hey guys! It is hard to believe its week 4 already! This past week I did have a short conversation about my project with Greta and got some pointers that I have been brainstorming on. One was how to push the images to reflect what I was trying to say. For instance, the sliced bread I showed a couple of weeks ago. The invention was about convenience and that ties it to being bought in a store. So, I decided to reshoot it in the plastic. I used a deli wrap from another loaf so that I could avoid an advertisement feel to the image.
I did do some other food, including a burger and fries, and frozen waffles. Each item does get a few different set ups, to see what works and what doesn’t. Which I’ll show more when we meet. I need to work on some editing as my lights gave me some difficulty this week, but figured for fun I would also include a behind the scenes look at my set up.
Alison Miller_ Book Part 2
Part II contains a lot of great information. The first section “edit and sequence” had some great points about asking for constructive criticism and how to narrow down the work into a cohesive project, something I know professors, especially Greta has been working with us on continuously.
I found the discussion about websites and social media something that will be useful in the near future as we are about to start working on our websites. I am horrible about promoting myself on social media other than “look what I’ve done recently” and really need to make that effort to separate personal pages from photography pages more clearly (like the author has suggested).
Artist statements- ugh. I found her section about statements helpful. While I have seen many of the tips before from professors and other artists, I like reading it all together. I particularly found the 3 basic questions (pg 20) something that I have and will continue to use, although the process of writing about myself/work is always difficult.
The other smaller sections discussing marketing, branding, logos, email addresses and so forth was a bit motivating in a way, but it has been something that I felt I wasn’t ready for. However since they are things that can help make a stronger webpage and help grow my network of peers, it may be time to start considering and working on them.
I am enjoying this book so far…
Roger Evans_Week 4_Project Post
This past week, I visited my cousin in Lynchburg and decided to bring my camera. Her apartment is pretty cool, and I had some ideas of photos I wanted to take. She has this huge window that covers one whole wall and figured I could take some night shots since the streetlight outside casts this beautiful light through the window. Here are some unedited shots that I took.
Friday, February 4, 2022
Hey every one
HI,
Glad to get a snippet of what everyone is doing. I like seeing the contact sheet but it is really hard to tell exactly what is going on so I think perhaps posting just a few photo might helpful.
Emily I love your start but from te contact I thought you did paint yourself. I think painting yourself is a good idea. Keep going and more ideas will come to you as the one you started with is GREAT!!! I have always loved this piece. Try googleing some terms to get ideas.
