Phobia Project

1. An extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.

2).
A. Aeroacrophobia- the fear of open high places
B. Agateophobia- the fear of insanity
C. Apeirophobia- the fear of infinity
D. Claustrophobia- fear of confined spaces
E. Hypnophobia- fear of sleep or of being hypnotized.

3. For my phobia photo I wanted to do Agateophobia, which is the fear of insanity. I was thinking I could take a photo of someone in sitting alone in a room, looking distressed and disheveled, almost insane. I would try both horizontal and vertical photos but I think i would like to go more along the lines of horizontal photos. I don't know if the picture has to be rule of thirds, but I would also like to play with balance a little bit. I would want to make the background boring and almost blank so that whomever is looking at the photo will focus on the subject. My point of view will be either very up close or a full body shot. I would like the light in my photo to be tinted blueish-green to convey a depressing and insane kind of feel, to pull the viewer of the photo in and bring their attention to it. For clothing I will probably have them wear all white, like a big white t-shirt or something to convey the looks of a mental patient in a psych ward. Their body language will be very anxious looking, like they are waiting for something bad to happen, or going out of their minds. I would like to enhance the story behind my photo as much as I can.


4. My three different shoots will be with;
A. Agateophobia
B. Aeroacrophobia
C. Hypnophobia
For the modeling side of this, I will be using my sister for all three. In the photos I will find and choose three different backgrounds that contribute to the photo as much as the model does. I will most likely be shooting in the forest behind my house, for that is where I get the most creative.  This applies to all three.

5. In the photographs, I can use the rules to help me focus attention. I can also mess with different types of lighting and backgrounds. Such as using lamps with colored paper over it and so forth.

Welcome Back!


I really like this photo because it shows refugees but the way the picture is taken shows a much darker meaning.


This photo is very powerful to me because the Lakota riders are protesting their rights against the law enforcement.


I like this photo because I feel it really summarizes the pride of some Americans and how they live their lives.



1. The best song in my opinion was Make Me Cry by Noah Cyrus.

This song is really good and I like the way it sounds. I think she perfectly harmonizes with "Labrinth" which is who she sings the song with. Them working together has made the perfect song for 2016.

2. The best movie of 2016 was Hell or High Water.

This movie was the best in my opinion because it follows the story of two brothers who just want to save the family farm. They go to rob a bank so they can afford to save their farm and it is a great story over all. They really show how far people are willing to go.

3. The most important news story to me was the terrorist attacks.

This is important to me, because through this act of terror, it brought the world together to face the terrible effects of terrorism. We understood and listened to each other. It was how it should be when the world joins together to fight off a threat.

4. The most important person of 2016 was Beyonce´.

I think this because she really brought everyone together through her performance. She really taught everyone something about how to leave your hatred behind and join together. That is why she was the most important of 2016.

5. Jimmy Fallon

I think this because he brought a lot of laughter and comedy to 2016. He always had someone famous on his stage with him which made everyone laugh. He was great at giving joy and laughter to everyone.

1. The most fun thing on my break was going straight form Port Aransas to Colorado. I really like traveling.

2. My resolutions for this year are to live healthy and work hard for everything I want.

3. In 2017, I'm looking forward to set and complete my goals.
