This is the final photo of the glorification and modification project, in this photo she modified the onion. It is chopped up and peeled. She choose a simple background which is easy enough to agree with and I would have liked to see her do something spontaneous with it. I like how she cut up the onion and left the peels around making it look more like a flower. Instead of this vegetable that is usually associated as gross because of obvious reasons, more-so obvious when you eat it. She makes it seem like a beautiful chrysanthemum, the chopped pieces lying around end up looking like flower petals. I like the idea of the peels lying around and the small shadows that they cast makes the onion seem even more like a flower. The photo is very bright, the onion peels showing a lot of warm colors. There is some contrast but it is not very bold. The last peel to the right would seem to be the darkest ping on the photo. The tint and shine from the peels mesh very well with the onion. I like most to admire the unintentional hues of yellow on the onion. The light source seems to be coming from the bottom left of the photo. Another great finish to her project. I apologize for the intrusive chair.

I really like this photo in particular. The cool colors mesh very well and the dark colors compliment the piece. The reflection of the window in the chair adds the finishing touch on to the piece. Plus it hints at some symbolism that can be interpreted in many different ways. I am not sure if Tiffany did have an initial image for this piece but one certainly shows. It is the shadows that truly make this a masterpiece. Adding contrast and creating remarkable shapes. The clashing shadow of the back of the chair against the blue wall kind of makes it look like an ocean. Even the little things add a simple touch like the fingerprint/paint marks on the seat of the chair. I like the complexity of this piece even though it would seem so simple. 

This is a project similar to the last one, where she was put up to the task of modifying or glorifying the object. This is yet another example of glorifying, using the same onions but a change of background. She makes the decision to compliment the onions with a solid color background instead of the ancient looking sheets. I think that the chemistry of the colors is amazing. Yet it is simple, so much so that it gives off this clean and professional feeling. She places the onions similarly to before with a set of three in a triangle essentially and then two together off to the side with a bit of space. The lighting is also very similar but has a very different effect because this is a flat, solid surface rather than ones provided with folds. Here your eyes move directly to the onions immediately, especially because they can be seen more clearly. The slight angle and discoloration of the onions is very interesting, the way that the shadows become darker for the onions indicate a light source from the right. I must say that I love the way the background color just bleeds into the shadows of the onions along with help from the light. The color even subtly makes itself known inking into the little crevices and splinter along the onions outer layer. Another job well done that I cannot seem to compare to the previous.

Onion 2 
This file was sent from an other school assignment, her task was to take and object and  glorify it or to modify in a photo. In this piece she decided to glorify the onions, taken from their original state and put into a photo setting. She did not do anything to manipulate them but move them leaving each onion unchanged. 
In this photo I cannot help but feel that due to the background of white sheets it gives an ancient feeling. I can help but even think this is just a feature to a much bigger piece. Similar to the hidden features of Italian renaissance art. The sheets truly complete the task of glorifying the unions. Making them look, at least to me, as if filled with great deal more wonder. These do not look like the simple onions you barely see lying around in the pantry as you just walk by. The shadow from the sheets compliment the onions and add depth, contrasting from the simple white to bold golden and peach hues. As well as the fact that there is more than one onion, there really is meaning in the multitude. Each onion finding its own place among the folds is a work of art itself. The lighting in the photo is sublime, it helps the tint of the onions stand out and helps the onions "shine in the right places". I do not even want to say that this is a simplistic piece because it looks so magnificent. In this piece the task at hand is surely completed.

Here Tiffany was completing a school assignment where she was asked to take pictures of an object. It is essentially a school assignment which may make it out to seem like this photo is forced or lacking in passion. Common from an artist's point of view, and usually, cannot be helped. Which is a way to look at it, however I think this is simple task with a lot of freedom which she manages to take advantage of. Tiffany does manage to have fun with it because of the overall passion for the field of photography. She explained to me that she had a bunch of bottle caps so she chose to put them to use. Recycling them as a focus in her photos to make up her own technique, or rather, aesthetic. Finding appreciation in the things that she can reuse and create. Tiffany also claimed that most of her pictures are "conveniently taken", where she is able to search and find something of use and manipulate it in her photos . There is no aspect of heat of the moment where she has to rush to catch a person in that perfect moment when they are walking along the sidewalk. Or a bird among it's flock just about to take flight. Instead she prefers to be in control to create her own perfect moment. That is what she finds to be convenient. However  she does express a certain freedom over this control. She described her set up as simply throwing them down the stairs instead of placing them. Letting them fall freely and essentially exerting this laid back feeling and freedom to the piece. I found it interesting that a lot of the bottle caps landed in this upright facing position with the exception of one. The placement of the caps even looks purposeful and somehow it is not. To some the photo gives an abstract feeling. To me however I found that the picture captures simplicity very well. It exerts an at home type of feeling, making it seem like I am the one sitting on those steps and organizing those very same bottle caps. The details in the stairs are captured perfectly, even seeming to move from rough to smooth with the decline. The contrast in the black and white it amazing some of the darks so close to the light. Like the way that the shadow of the rail falls over the bottle caps. I find so many things that truly are amazing within the seeming simplicity of the photo. This does not look like an effortless photo to say the least.
