My subject is a torn exhaust vent. It was ideal for a black and white photograph because it gives off a weird, creepy vibe more in black and white than in color. Black and white makes a photo more interesting because it’s like a mystery.

 

This photo is good for details because it shows the patters that are in the color of the eye. It shows the two different colors and how the pupil is not a perfect circle.

ISO 800                 ƒ/0            1/100            It was taken at school.

 

Warm colors are those when one thinks of fire: red, orange, and yellow because fire gives off warmth. Cool colors are those when one thinks of water: blue, green, purple because these colors give off calm, cool vibes.

 

The most flattering picture is the selfie because my face looks thinner compared to the portrait. The portrait is not framed well and my face is more rounded and the lighting was off. The selfie on the other hand, is well lit and my face is right in the middle and framed. The selfie was taken around half arm extended and the portrait was taken five feet away from me.

 

 

Low Key lighting is using a dark background in order to capture the subject and take their portrait.

The procedure on retouching the images was very easy. All of the pictures needed a lot of stuff to be removed and fixed. The tools I used were the clone stamp, spot healing brush, and the healing brush. I used the clone stamp to make other parts of the photo look the same. The healing brush and the spot healing brush were used to either remove a spot or cover it with any similar thing around or near it.

Golden Hour~

Bounce Light~

ISO 100                                             f/5                             Shutter Speed 1/320

ISO 1600                                   f/18                                   Shutter Speed 1/1000

 

For silhouette, the lighting had to be dimmed  to be able to get the shadow of the subject. Side light was using the light of the sun so the subject is lit from the side of their face. Golden hour was using the sun at a certain time and angle to get the gold light on the subject. Bounce light we used the reflector to bounce light from one side to get the gold light on one picture and we didn’t use the reflector to get the natural light of the sun on the other picture. The lighting came from being outdoors and using the sun as my light source . The light was behind, and in front of my subjects to get the effects of the photo.

These photos were hard to take because the subjects are fast moving animals and it was difficult capturing them frozen.
