This class we made a PSA announcement and  I chose to do gang violence. Using the blue and red gels for the opposing sides it created a split effect. Overall I think it came out great.

Today in class we had to come up with our own psa. I choose to do drug addiction. The aperture for this shot was f/10, shutter speed 1/80 and the iso 100. For the font I choose Anton.

This is a PSA for anxiety and depression. To get this image I used an ISO of 100, the shutter speed was at 1/160 and the f-stop was at 9. For the lighting, there was only one light used that was coming from the top corner. This allowed for a dramatic mood.

Today we worked on a PSA, I used alcohol as the addiction for the PSA the Hennessy bottle remains colored and the body and everything around has been blacked out since thats mainly what liquor does to the mind.

I enjoyed editing this photo and capturing the scene. I didn’t know what to expect when asking the subject to jump but surprisingly it came out well.

Today in class, we were making magazine covers and this project was probably my favorite one because I got to thrown in some graphic design elements as well; also I got a chance to make a mock XXL magazine cover.

Today’s class we had to come up with a magazine cover that looks identical to the original. I picked Complex. For this picture I had three lights set up. One light was lighting her jacket, the other light was lighting her face and the last one was on top lighting on top of her head. Then I had to do some edits in lightroom. I had to fix the exposure, highlight, shadow and whites. From there i export it to photoshop to add the logo.

Today in class we learned how to make a magazine cover. I wanted my cover to mimic GQ magazine. While shooting I played with different color gels. The red and blue gels looked very vibrant on the subject. I went for split lighting on the subject. The red and blue also looks exactly like the GQ logo I used when editing the photo. Overall Im really happy on the way this cover came out.

Today we learned how to shoot for different magazine covers.  We used Photoshop to adjust the logo and photo for each magazine we were advertising. My goal was to mimic Vibe magazine while adding my own twist.

For this shot I had a black back drop and one light coming from the right side. Since the photo is for a magazine layout I had to keep remembering to shoot vertical. Also, Time magazine tends to have dramatic theme covers so I kept that in mind.
