Welcome Hello! This is a portfolio for my digital media classes. I believe tutorials and lectures on photoshop and images helped me a lot in developing my understanding of taking photos. Now I know more about different principles how to get proper well composed picture. Also I understand how to work with photoshop and manipulate pictures to get better results. Photographic has appeared in fantastic way, where I have a freedom of creativity. In this portfolio you are welcome to see some of my works. I have devided them into four groups, where I briefly explain my work and what I have achieved. Hopefully you will enjoy it! (my email: aidana-utegenova@mail.ru)

Portraits
I had fun taking photos of my brothers and sister. Two photos of my younger brother has been taken in a cafe. The lighting in the room was perfect and he was in a good mood for posing, so I have decided take my chance and shoot some photos. He is slightly away from the middle of the frame, as I used rule of thirds, which made my pictures more balanced and interesting.
I used “rule of thirds” in other my work too. In the portrait of my sister, I changed brightness, colours and exposure of images to make it more interesting. Mostly I have used the “curves” tool manipulation.
Here is my mash up art piece, where I tried my best combining together four separate pictures. Obviously, I used pictures, which don’t break copyright law. Pictures were found thought the website Creative Commons, which allows use works of other people. I tried to make the image an absolutly different ‘work of art’. Two famous Photoshop artists inspired me: Andric Ljubodrag and Erik Almas. Erik’s works are well known for their surrealistic appearance. I have tried to do something surrealistic and inspiring. Andric’s picture with a giant cow in the ocean is very impressive so I have decided to do something similar and use similar idea. The concept of my image is to create a strange feeling of tension and suspense: waves, clouds and lonely female sitiing on a huge turtle built the mood and a particularly uncomfortable atmosphere. I tried to harmoniously combine colours and put main subjects based on “rule of thirds”.

Hello
I really enjoyed working with “inDesign” program and create the music magazine cover page. Personally, it was much easier for me working on ther cover rather than making a mash up picture. Even though the design program has limited set of tools, it allowed to make beatuful and intersting cover like in a real magazine. As it is the music magazine, my cover contains information related to music. Also, I used picture of Adele, which I found through creative commons website, just not to break copyright law.

cover
I made one more music magazine cover page just for practicing. On the second cover I used different celebrity, background, headlines, colour and fonts. It has similar features as the first one, like the pose of the celebrity and headlines are on the side. However, manipulation in colours and fonts give absolutly different style and mood of the cover page. The cover become more “casual”,

Here are all of my favoirute close ups. All of them are developed in Photoshop.
The “curves� tool is very easier and faster to get a right effect. I tried to take a motion plur photo of a fish. Then I added some effects which sarpens the blur. Here are some of my photos which inspire me. I love nature, it is my muse. Two landscapes were taken in uae. Even they have similar features, photos are completly different, not only because of camera posion. The first one is more brighter and this creates warner feelin and mood, While, other one is more darker, which creates tention in atmospshere.One frst one detailes are more visible, while on the other you cannnot see detailes as they are in black.
