Double Exposure

For this project Chris was my model.  I had one light on the backround on one on half is face. i cut out the image, put it on black and white and then added my sunset picture.  I had to use layer mask and then blended it.  I moved it so you could see his eyes.

Shadow and Light

For This Project the most difficult part for me was the cutting.  I drew out this design, traced it on hard stock paper, and then cut it out.  For the photo we had a black backround and shined a light on the object. I got close and i used the rule of thirds to take the picture.

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

• 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
