Group Strobe


The artist we used in this photo are the arts of photography, dance, and music. Are group decided to do it the grass because we loved the fact that the grass came out brighter and which made the photo look flawless. The strobe really make the lighting look very intricit and also made alot of shadows dissapear.
This project was one of my favorite yet because I just love what strobe does to a picture. I would love to do a lot more of my photos with strobe now.

Composition


This project wasn't really easy but it was fun to explore of what you can do with photography if you really pay close attention.
I like these photos because the one with me and the toungue is very interesting because it seems that I have the tongue.
I also enjoy and laugh at the one with Jaida and I because I love the fact that im "giving birth" to her and my legs stay on the tree so it has you looking around the whole picture.
Overall this project was difficult but It was fun.

Landscape Ideas


I chose this picture because the contrast is AMAZING! The time of day is very nicely chosen because it really makes the clouds pop out and I love the effect of the sun on the clouds making them pink. The road makes it interesting to because it makes you wonder where it leads. Over all this picture is amazing.

Portrait



In this picture I see Natural Lighting. This type of lighting makes the picture look very nice. I see that the shadows are all in the right places.
I wanted to to shoot in the bathroom door way because the the time the sun was rising and made the lighting look flawless. I didn' pose the model at all because a portrait portrays the person, so I just told the model to do whatever felt they felt.
I really enjoyed this project because shooting portraits is very beautiful and I love to show the world what I see through the lens.

Article Reflection

I learned that a portrait is not racy what so ever. Portraits focus on faces, expressions, emotion in the model, it also captures an intimate moment. Manjari Sharma really connects with the model to make them more comfortable so they wouldn't feel embarrassed to be in a photo. This is a very good method to make a photograph way more better. She really enjoys people and loves to photo's that comination makes a great photo. I'd love to study more about her.
I can't wait to do this project because Id love to capture a really good moment of emotion and capture a true moment as well. When I start I'm probably going get a person I know, but I think it will be a good idea to get someone I May not know very well just so I can get to know that person and make sure they get comfortable and won't be scared to be in a photograph. I most likely not going to do a showering shot with water but I'm for surely going to make this photo amazing. Maybe when I finish my shoot I can have a party with my models just like Sharma did.

A Photoshop Assignment


This project was really fun to do. Photoshop is so amazing. You can do so much!
In this photo I cut a picture of me and put me in a background of N.Y Times Square. I also put my nickname "T'Mackin" in it. For the two photoshop essentials I used Brightness/Contrast and I also put some brushes around me to make it seem like I have a halo around me.

Softening Project

This project was really fun and different. I enjoyed getting rid of blemishes to make my self look better. The process of this was really easy.

Brush Project in PhotoShop

In this project I had to use Photoshop to do these type of brushes. I used brushes and I changed the color and the type of shapes the brushed made.
In the picture I see me lightened very well, since I was outside.
I see a lot of spirals, and swirls and a lot of other things.
This Project was fun to experiment with and fun to have fun with it.

Photo Booth











Photo was as well a very fun, cooky, different, and exciting project. I love acting like different characters and also dressing up really funny and also very serious. This project I actually did in my room and all I did was set up a plain white sheet on my wall and asked my friend to take this pictures. This project is probably another one of my favorite projects.
Studio lightning was a really fun project to do. I love the lighting idea because it really makes the model pop out and you can really see the escense behind the photo. I used a stool in this photo because i'd like my model to comfortable in their own skin and I love that chairs just make the picture more exciting. The development of this project was kind of difficult because I messed up the film, so I had to redo it over. But this project was really fun and of course I didn't mind doing it over. This project was my favorite project we've ever done so far!

Sequence Images

This project we did 'Sequencing' was a very fun activity to do. In these two pictures I used two of my friends as models. I love the fact that these pictures are black and white because it really sets the mood of my theme for this project. When I started this project I knew what I was going to do since I thought it through, so it was that difficult. But maybe the hard part was the printing because it took awhile to get the pictures just right. Other then that I loved this project!

Photoshop Project


This project was at first difficult for me cause i did not know anything about photo shop really, only how to crop.
After trying over and over again I finally got some of the utensils down.
I did this image by getting a picture of a female singing artist and used the magnetic tool to cut her out in an oval. Then I got a picture of money and just cropped it so the image would not be to small.
Then I made the female darker so you can see her very well.
I actually enjoyed working in photoshop.
