Photo Essay : The Harmful Effects of Shampoo

I chose to use shampoo as a focus point for my photo essay. It is something that we do almost every day and we don’t usually give a second thought as to how it is impacting the environment or even ourselves. For example, most people probably don’t know that while taking a five minute shower, you will use approximately twenty-five gallons of water. Along with that dirty water being washed into the ocean is all of the shampoo you use while taking it. Shampoo contains chemicals such as parobens which leads to breast cancer and also acts as a preservative in various cosmetic products. Thankfully some of these contaminated waters are receiving waste-water treatment. Unfortunately most of these treatments are unable to protect the environment from the chemicals in the shampoos. These shampoos also contain surfactants which remove oil…. Too much oil in fact. Some common ingredients include cocamide which is a foaming agent, glycol distearate which makes the shampoo more opaque and pearlescent as well as thinner, sodium chloride(table salt) is used to thicken the shampoo, widely used preservatives, DMDM hydantoin and imidazolidinyl urea are found in many shampoos and are used to release formaldehyde to kill germs. Formaldehyde  has a characteristic pungent, irritating odor and is believed to be a “human carcinogen” the US National Toxicology Program. I would suggest to many people that you could start using a more organic shampoo or even just research the chemicals in your shampoo. Just being aware will change your outlook on the effects of your shampoo.

FAVOURITE LUMEN PRINT

           This particular image appealed to me because I think that the colours go well with eachother and also I like how the inside area of the flowers are white and the outside is darker. I also seem to like this photo because of its symmetry which makes it visually appealing to me.

She also divides her time between the foothills of the rockies and the Pyrenees. She also has a large collection of awards that ranges anywhere from 1970 and 2010. She has a huge portfolio that has everything including galaxies aswell as carousels.

Leading Lines

leading lines
what leading lines does is it leads your eys towards the subject of the photo. Every photo needs to have a subject otherwise the photo doesnt make sence. Also try not to have any bjects in the photo that dont belong.

Repition

Repition
The purpose of repitition is to emphasise the objest of the photo or the purpose of the phot. It is also more intriguing to look at if there is some repition.
Contrast
 The  purpose of this type of photography is to create interest for the veiwer. Say the whole picture was very boring and plain. To create some contrast for the photo you would put something of the opposite in the photo.
Rule of Thirds

Contrast

The purpose of the tecnique is to line up your objects on what is call the lines of interest in a photo. in a picture you subconciously divide the photo into imaginary thirds. The intersections of these lines is what is called the lines of interest that you are subconciously drawn to look at.

Rule Of Thirds

Framing

Framing
I think that this photo tecnique is fairly self explanatory but what it does is that it frames the s ubject of the photo thus, directing your interst towards the framed object.

Camera Care

1. you should always keep your camera in a camera case or in something soft and protective.
2.  you should never clean your camera with rough of sharp materials.
3. if your camera gets wet you should turn it off, take out its batteries and memory card and let it dry for at least a day.
4.  you should always clean your camera with a soft lint-free material.
5. when you're not using your camera you should take out your batteries because that way they wont get really old and start leaking battery acid.
