Food Photography

For this Photo I chose to take a picture of ice cream.  The photo is simple but has a lot of color and detail.  I first turned the exposure down because the picture was a little bright.  Next I chose to offset the picture.  I then turned the Highlights up. 

For this photo I took a close up of fruit in a bowl.  The lighting was really good on this photo so all i did was add highlights to bring them out more.

Low Key Photography

For the low-key photography project, Caiti was my model. We went in the dark room, set up the light and she sat on the stool.  I stood beside her and made sure i used the rule of thirds and adjusted the light so she had a shadow on her face.  I then went to light-room and used the black and white tool.  I also used the burn tool to get out what i needed too.

For this project we created a dark background and used a high shutter speed and one light source.

Levitation

For this project I took two pictures, a background and the subject. I used the layer mask to take out the background on his image. I also clone stamped out the bars in the back image. I overlayed the two of them and put in a shadow using the burn tool. 

Lightroom Practice

Before

Edit

For this image I used Lightroom software. I turned the image B&W and adjusted the whites higher and the blacks lower. I turned the contrast up and the exposure down. I cropped the image to get rid of some of the blur in the lower right corner and also to help with composition. I wanted to be offset in the image. Lastly, I turned down the shadows.

Shoes

• How did you approach the composition?  I got close to the ground and made the focus of the picture the back of the shoes
• What type of light did you use? This picture was taken in my room, at night with the flash on
• Why do you think the photograph is successful?  I think its successful because it follows the rule of thirds

• How did you approach the composition?   I put my phone on the floor sideways and made the focus the side and back of the shoes
• What type of light did you use? I turned the Christmas light in the back on and used flash 
• Why do you think the photograph is successful? I think this is successful because it is the rule of thirds and both shoes are at different angles 

• How did you approach the composition? i stood over the shoes and made the focus the inside of the shoes and the box.
• What type of light did you use? in this, there was no light, just flash 
• Why do you think the photograph is successful?  This is successful because it follows 

  Simplification

Compostion

Rule of Thirds


This photo follows the Rule of Thirds.  The boxer is the main part of the picture, but it is off centered.








Balance

This picture shows balance because it has a plain and simple foreground and backround, but the little spot of blue to the side is a distraction, as well as the buildings in the back.


Background


This shows background because the person who took the photo clearly set  his camera on the ground. also he blurred the background so there would be more focus on the rocks.


I took photography because i used to go to photoshoots all the time when i was a kid and because i want to learn more about angling and
