For this learning log, I decided to go with an anti-bullying campaign. I wanted to have my subject to look like a high school student and to look sad and I used the black background to make it dark.

The cover I decided to recreate was one for GQ. I tried to emulate the light but it was difficult to get the catch light in the same exact spot as the original

This assignment was fun and challenging at the same time. It was difficult trying to get the background white, so we adjusted the light positions until we got it as close to white as possible.

This assignment super fun, I really enjoyed playing with the double exposure. The light painting was a little difficult at first but after a while, we got the hang of it.

3 point backlight

Butterfly

Edge Light

Hair Light

This exercise was a lot of fun, yet challenging. My clamshell was my favorite set of all 4. I tried to fill the frame with all sets up. the most difficult was set up for me was the hair light setup.

I found this assignment was very interesting, it was cool playing with the different lighting setups. It was difficult getting it put it was a lot of fun.

I enjoyed this assignment, it almost felt like product photography. I tried use fill the frame in both my shots, and composed the focus to be dead center. I adjusted the lights to minimize the the shadows.

I enjoyed shooting this assignment also I did find it difficult to accompplish. We tried playing around with the shutter to get the motion blur and freeze the image.

These are the best photo from today’s shoot, I really liked playing with the Speedlite, I feel like it adds a more polished and professional look to the photos. I used to fill the frame and foreground to compose my shots.

I went to Photoville on Sunday and saw a lot of great images. I am more drawn to portraits, so my majority of my time there I spent looking at galleries of portraits. A set that stuck out to me the most was that of portraits of women in government, I believe it was sponsored by the New York Times. All the portraits were very beautiful, and used elements of composition. Which included fill the frame and eye dominant. I really enjoyed it and wish I had more time to listen to some of the speaking events going on.
