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.
