Learning Log #12 PSA

Today, in class we did a PSA shoot. The first struggle about my PSA was keeping a straight face. Another struggle I faced was while editing the picture and entering the text in photoshop. Also, adding the tattoos and warping it was a real struggle but I finally got it. Domestic Violence

#12 PSA

For today’s class we had to create a Public Service Announcement and for this me and Nicole decided to do a Domestic Violence PSA and I did this pretty scary shot for this PSA in which i was keeping Nicole Silent. Overall, this was a pretty fun project to work on but also complicated to come up with a good shot for this PSA.

This weeks assignment was fun! I focused on self love so having my model being happy and laughing was key. The butterfly lighting also helped make the photo. If it was split or loupe it would have a different mood. This is aimed at people who struggle with mental illness and is showing them options and offering help.

First Psa assignment, this time I worked with three models focusing more on the one in the center. In order to achieve it, we placed our main light in the center pointing to the model and this created like a shadow on the people placed in the side. By this, we have all the focus in the center of the frame.

The exhibit was great. I’ve never been to the Museum of the city of NY before so I was excited to go. I enjoyed the fact that the museum is openly a safe space for the LGBT+ community. In another exhibition, they embraced the strong trans activism NYC is known for by having objects, photos, and signs represented.

Fred W. McDarrah’s collection of pride photos was great. He definitely documented what pride was like when it was getting started. All of his work was b&w which I think is interesting since pride is so colorful, I’m not sure if it was a personal choice or it was all he had.

I personally didn’t love all his photos but it was great seeing how much things have changed and how they’re still similar. He did capture the emotions of pride and the people there in non traditional ways. His portraits look candid and unstaged and he took a lot of photos of peoples backs or actions.

This weeks assignment was fun to do. I enjoyed having to recreate and think about how the photographers use light and color in specific magazine. i-D is usually very colorful but I wanted to change my photo to b&w to mimic some of their covers. I used loupe lighting in my other photos and for this one I used butterfly lighting because I wanted a sort of natural look.

This class we learned how to make a cover for the Magazine,

How to set a light and equipment to recreate a style of a particular photographer.
