Portrait Assignment

Just a quick reminder that the main goal of this assignment is to get you to work with diffuse, directional light... The easiest place to find that is by a window that does not have direct sunlight coming through.  The idea is to move in, drop the smiley approach found in all family pictures, position yourself and your model so that light falls over 3/4 of the face and so you are not looking into the light source.

This image from a student in this online class nailed it....


Light is coming in from a window to the left... her son was on the living room couch looking toward the light source...


Week 6 : Portraits

As this past week cruised by (extremely quickly), I kept this assignment in the back of my mind. I reiterated to myself "remember to look for the right lighting ..". With that being said, I spent sometime with my nephews this past week from the twins 4th birthday party, to just goofing around and some pool fun. My best friend has 4 boys under the age 6 and they have the most beautiful blue eyes and are some of the most adorable children I have ever me .. I also live two streets over so needless to say, I'm over there all the time! I also played ball in the yard with my adorable pup Harlee .. she is almost 2 years old and has an insane amount of energy! Lastly, I recently got my hair done this past week so I felt a picture/selfie was necessary and the lighting was pretty good if I do say so myself! I hope you all had a great holiday weekend and a great 4th tomorrow!
 





Macro assignment

Hi everyone! I really enjoyed macro shooting this week.  I spent time walking around my neighborhood and finding things in my house.  My favorite photo is the picture with the bubbles. I really tried my hardest to edit the photos to transform them into something great. I absolutely hate my neighbor’s creepy cat statue it always startles me at night, but I hope you enjoy!
