What a chaotic week filled with lots of glitter and cologne. Me and my classmates dressed to the nines in these past few days to take pictures in the studio of each other. It was good experience practicing what poses would work best for each pair that went up, and the individuals too. In realContinue reading “Formal Shoot”

This semester of my advanced photography class couldn’t possibly be summed up into five pictures. So much more happens behind camera than what gets captured. I can see now why so many people love photography – it’s the closest thing to freezing time. I’ve included five photos that I took this semester for assignments, butContinue reading “Top 5”

I was disappointed at the limited galleries around town… and most of them are closed at the moment. So, I researched if there were any virtual galleries I could visit online instead. Thankfully, MOPA.org has a few online exhibitions that I thought were interesting. Exhibition 1 The first exhibition was titled “Facing the Past: PortraitsContinue reading “Virtual Photo Gallery”

This was a fun week. My and my classmates dressed up and took pictures of each other looking all wacky. This was more of just a regular studio shoot, so nothing really new was learned.

I loved going through all the frames and matching the lightsaber to the sword I used. I got through that rather quickly, and then decided to keep the green background because itContinue reading “Lightsaber”

There are four basic lighting patterns that are used for different effects: Split, Rembrandt, Loop, and Butterfly lighting. Split lighting creates a very dramatic and mysterious glow to the subject. Rembrandt is a very common artistic lighting choice, and I often use it when I am drawing. Loop lighting creates an elongated shadow slightly angledContinue reading “Light Patterns”

I learned all about studio lighting, and was tasked with creating a visual that shows the lighting I use in the studio, and also a photo I took in the studio using that lighting. Lighting, to me, may be the most important aspect of photography, because it can make or break a photo or addContinue reading “Studio Lighting”

Before going and taking a stock photograph on my own, I needed to study an existing one to learn more about what makes a good stock photo. I chose a picture by Elia Pellegrini: One reason this is a great stock photo is because it is very versatile. It could be used for an airlineContinue reading “Stock Photography”

This project was free and easy. I enjoyed researching what aspects make a great black and white photo. Making photos black and white allows you to show the persons personality in the photo, and add depth and a more interesting focus. For my photo, I put my sister in a very bike-y atmosphere, implying toContinue reading “Black and White Portrait”
