=**Question Answers:**= 1.What kinds of techniques do you find visually appealing?

A lot of the time, it depends on what is in the photo. Sometimes techniques like focusing on specific objects, or intentional blurring, can look very nice. The colour scheme can also make a photo more visually appealing to me; sometimes black and white photos look really good, while other times the colours in a photo can make it a lot more eye-catching.

2.What kinds of things influence your perspective?

My personal values influence my perspective a lot, which affects how I approach photography as well. The photos I'll take will be reflected in what I think look nice or present an image. This can all be traced back to my views on a variety of different things. Other factors that affect my perspective include my surroundings, my beliefs and my mood at the time. I am artistic, and also have a musical background, so that influences my perspective as well. I am also pretty idealistic and enjoy a fantasy concept, so bright, mythical-looking photos stand out to me, too. An image that sticks in my mind would either be one with a very powerful message, or one that is appealing to me visually on all levels- good subject, colour scheme and just looks really nice overall.

3. What do you hope to learn/understand/experience in this course?

In Photography 11, I want to know more about the camera and how it works, as well as how different settings or techniques on the camera can change how the photo looks. I also want to further my interest in photography in general and become more experienced!

4. Locate a photo and describe what makes it jump out to you.

I found this photo very appealing because of the different techniques used to make an interesting final product. The background is mostly pale and monotonous, while the focus sushi and wasabi are very bright colours and jump out to the person looking at the photo. Also, the background is blurred out and unfocused as well, while the front of the plate is focused on.
