Final Project – Mahreen Munawar

May 4, 2022 / / 1 Comment

For my final project, I will be focusing on street fashion photography in NYC. This topic interests me because New York is a true home to fashion and with springtime and summer right around the corner people are ready to express themselves through a lot of bold colors in there outfits which I think will be very interesting and fun to capture.

I’m quite interested in fashion and after graduating I want to work in the creative field as well so I think this project will bring my skills and how I view fashion forward and highlight my ability to capture what I like which will shine in my portfolio.

I want the overall mood of the project to be very uplifting and colorful since I do plan on portraying springtime through the pictures. The lighting I will be using is just daylight.

HW #8: Photographic Style

May 4, 2022 / / 1 Comment

Identify the lighting style used including the angle of view, and lighting pattern: Rembrandt, split, butterfly light, broad, or shot light. How much fill is used to brighten the shadows? How is a background light used to separate the subject from the background? What is the palette? How tight is the framing? What is the angle of view?

Lighting Pattern: Flat light

How much fill is used to brighten the shadows? The fill is used to help neutralize the picture instead of brightening it. Since the background has a lot going on there are no shadows.

How is a background light used to separate the subject from the background? The background light is only evident in the first example where you can see that the model’s hair is backlit other than that the background in other pictures is natural light. 

How tight is the framing? The framing is pretty open the pictures have been taken from a further angle where you can see the almost upper half of the body. 

What is the angle of view? The angle of view is mostly eye level.

The Vogue Cover is shot using front light. The subject seems to be symmetrically placed in the middle of the cover but in fact, her eyes and lips are off centered giving a view of tallness as her head fills the upper middle of the cover. The look and feel of the subject is one of High Fashion seriousness. The text is linking with the clothing. The view is more of a 180 degree shot.

Wired magazine is using broad light with the subject lit with additional lighting from the back to separate him from the background to give the appearance of a slight halo. The text is linking with the background while the general look and feel is that of quirkiness. The angle of the lighting is diagonal from the right.

AARP at first glance seems to be using butterfly lighting. The subject however is in fact being light from the right at a 90 degree with a softer fill light on the left. The feel and style of the cover is that of confidence and happiness and success. All the subjects for all the covers are smiling. Broad light , front light and butterfly lighting seems to be the general lighting choices for several covers.

Final Project Statement By Carl Cabrall 5/3/2022

Topic: What is it about? What genre of photography interests you and would you like to explore:

For my final I will be exploring portrait photography. I want to photograph people both as they are in various moods as well as in the studio setting.

What purpose will it serve in your portfolio? Do you want to highlight your conceptual thinking, your design sense, your lighting skills?

I would like to highlight my lighting skills and also highlight my attempts to capture an authentic human moment.

Subject Matter: Literally what will you shoot? I would like to photograph men and women individually – maybe possibly a family.

Style: What will it look like? How will you use photographic style to communicate emotion and point of view? Find at least one example and include at least one image with your description.

Two out of the three sets of photographs will be in color lit by daylight or studio light. However, the third group will be in black and white with a male subject.

Lighting: how will you light your project?

This will be a combination of daylight and studio light. I will experiment with different colored backgrounds to light a selection of different poses by the subjects.
