Digital Photography Final Portfolio
Artist Statement
Hello all! My name is Sarah Rudder. I am a free lance graphic arts designer and business owner of Supherb Ceramics LLC, a ceramic art studio based in my garage. I am a very young, but ambitious artist that strives to expand my work to every avenue of art. Today I will be sharing my photography and editing skills I have learned over the course of the semester. The focus of my work is to create beauty in the eye of the beholder. Each viewer will see the photo differently, but my goal is that everyone takes a different view point to my photography. A few key concepts in my photography are nature and landscape photography, event photography, and product packaging photos. In addition to those concepts, traditional portrait and family photography is an interest of mine. I have to add that my major aesthetic concern with some of my photos are the detail quality. When I was taking my traditional style photos, I had trouble adjusting the focus on the camera. It was a learning curve, but I figured out the camera mechanics. As a result some of the picture quality is poor. Nevertheless my photos stand out against the background as conceptual pieces that make people question nature and society. My strongest abilities as a photographer are truly capturing a moment in time that no one may think otherwise of. I am also very gifted as edited photos after I take them. I believe I have a nature eye for lighting. Overall this semester has taught me many thing including how to focus a camera properly. I also learned photography composition and how lighting is as important if not more important than the photo itself.

ALBUM Honey Pot (3 piece set), made in 2020 photographed in 2022, Clay, Product Photography
The following photos are of a sculpture I made in my sculpting class. I am very proud of this piece because it not only acts as a sculpture but as a fruit bowl, a flower pot, and a mini bowl for succulents. Needless to say this sculpture has many functions. I decided to photo my sculpture because I am starting a ceramics business selling flower pots, mugs, and more.
