Summer Intensive

Landscape.

I really enjoyed this assignment because it gave me a chance to experiment on different angles tocapture something so simply in your everyday life and make it become something more interesting. It shows that we take everything for granted and we don’t take the time to look at the landscape. I personally think it’s easier to shoot landscape because everything is there and set, nothing is moving so all is really needed is the angle and probably the lighting of the day, but mostly that could be fixed with Photoshop.

MOPA

This project was taken at Mission Beach. It represents the muslim cultures are still able to walk around the beach with their dresses on. It shows how free our country is, not having to wear bikinis or skin revealing clothes. We are free to be who we want to be.

Timeline

My group was with Jenny, Wyatt, and Palina. We divide individual reasonability like Wyatt bought the board and made the frame, Palina gathered the information, I put everything together and Jenny printed out the pictures. I didn’t think this project was hard because everybody did their share on this. What we were having trouble on was getting the material together because it took us a while to buy the board. Overall, we had fun doing this project because while we were at it, we learned how photography evolved

Portrait: Natural Light

These portraits were taken at the park, with natural light. The first image, a little girl who is holding her toy, while i took a picture of her. I didn't have to tell her to pose, she just revealed herself through her emotions which worked with what i wanted it to look like. The lighting was a bit too bright in the back, but it was natural light from the sun. The second portrait, I like how the light from the sun is shown on his nose and forehead, with his natural pose. The third photo, i like how everything is so detailed with the clouds, the fence, and her facial expression. The light brightens up her face & the colors on her dress.

Manjari Sharma Portraits.

A Portrait is an image with the model's natural beauty, being comfortable with the photographer and including themselves. The models shouldn't be asked to pose, it should come from their inner emotions and whatever they feel like doing. Both the photographer & the model should have an eye to eye relationship knowing how to reveal themselves through eye contact. Portraits aren't just snapshots, they're captured with very detailed specks of the moment showing the model's deep emotion within themselves. These portraits are from Manjari Sharma, revealing their emotions through water, & where they positioned themselves.

First Strobe Lighting; Lunch Diversity

Describe: The diversity here at Scpa during lunch.

Analyze:The lighting in the background is dark shades from the strobe, & the light is reflected on their faces. Very contrasted with shadows reaching out.

Interpret: Having lunch with different races & styles, everything is mixed by race, gender, the food they eat, their interests, and their styles. Yet they still manage to stay together as a group here at scpa.

Photoshop Brush.

This project was a really fun experience, using photoshop. I duplicated the layer and put different brushes on top of the photo. Exploring different kinds of brushes were a bit hard trying to put something that would suit the object in the background. I don't think that this project is as successful as it should be because it was late and my other one that someone deleted was way better.

Photoshop Soften.

This image was taken in color and had been softened using photoshop. I made my face and my hair sharpen to make it stand out. Then I used the clone stamp to clear out any marks on my face to make it appear more smoother which makes it give a natural sense of beauty. I believe this image is successful because it gave me a natural look I never knew I had.

Photoshop

I enjoyed doing this project because I was able to learn more about photoshop, and how to use it. I used the magnetic lasso and put the world in the hands.

Self Portrait

This project was really fun to make, having to change my facial expressions and the way i originally look. I like how I actually got to explore new things, and look the same but different at the same time. I tried to dress up differently although it was on the same day. Then after I cropped them all together on photoshop four times. I think it's successful because even though I didnt really have much time to look more different with different kind of styles, it still looks pretty decent.

Sequence

Describe: The guitar standing while the reflection of the bum is on the guitar. He is playing his guitar for money to buy some food for him to eat.

Analyze: The lighting in the background is not that bright and the man is contrasted in a way for him to pop out of the picture.

Interpret: A story about a bum who had nothing left but his shoes and his guitar. He plays his guitar for money and as he plays, more and more people come to see him because he is so good. Then at the end he got 100 dollars from someone who really thought he is really talented.

Judge: Going through this photo was really fun, the lighting was good and i like how the pictures are well contrasted.
