This class session was about Magazine covers and I chose to do the Vice Magazine cause I thought this picture was spot on with the style or that publication.

For the Homework assignment I chose my dog Latka do recreate this The Time Magazine front cover, It was kind of hard to try and get the right angle for this since my dog was moving around a lot but I like how the end result looks, Boston Terriers are my favorite kind of dogs.

This assignment we were experimenting with shutter speed. In order to get the movement of the subject blur, we need to decrease the speed to get that blur effect. and to freeze the action we need a high shutter speed.

Even though I didn’t do the light painting I focused more on doing double exposure the goal was to replicate the same person in un photo.  It is hard because nothing can move the minimum movement the person can look blur.

Fred W. McDarrah photography exhibition

I had the opportunity to attend the exhibition of Fred M. The reason for the gallery is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stonewall uprising. It is the first time I heard of this photographer and discovered that he was one or only the one in taking photographs during the 6 days of protest in that year.
The gallery presents several photographs during the protests. One of the things I liked is the way Fred photographed the event. Fred’s photographs show in each of the people the happiness they have despite the fact that it is a protest. You feel the union and pride of the people.
One of the photos I liked (the second photo attached here) is that of a man seems to be giving a speech. You can see the man in profile and talking to the public and in turn, his arm creates a kind of framing around the people who listen to him. When you see the picture, your look goes straight to his face and then to the public. In general, I liked all the photos since they look natural you can feel what was happening. People are happy despite the situation.

For this assignment, I decided to recreate some photos from 1 of my favorite photographers called Kaiwan Shaban ( Instagram @itskaiwan ) he is from Akre Iraqi.

In today’s class, we were asked to take motion photography. As part of the experiment, we played with shutter speeds and aperture to take frozen photos. Which is why objects that are in the pictures are blurry or have a moving effect to it. To take these pictures I mostly used ISO 400, AF 6.3, 1/30. Doing motion photography was fun.

For my final, I was thinking of recreating the “Red Riding Hood” story. However, I still am brainstorming as to how I will execute it. But, I think I will dress my son up as the wolf and my sister to be the Red Riding Hood. But, I still am not sure. Any suggestions?

During this class session, we had the liberty of taking any type of shots we wanted using any type of light whether it be a butterfly lighting or an edge light. Then we would take the best shot you had and create a magazine cover. For my shot, since my model had a lot of Supreme stickers I thought I would go for that urban and modern vibe.
