Portraits










The portrait i think was most successful was the costume one because to me it looks so artistic. And i got good reviews.
To create a more artisitc photo i tried to use the lighting affect because to me thats most dramatic.
Cheyanne used a pretty long black dress as her costume. I like the way it turned out becaused it just looks so different and you dont see that everyday.
My surprise photo is different because i used the sun alot and i didnt really use it in any of the other pictures.

Compositional Trick #9 contact sheet


My favorite trick was the frameing one, because i think it looks really artistic. I think i will use light in my everyday photos because it makes the picture just that much more better. The trick most difficult for me was the extreme angles because i feel like i couldnt get low enough and it was my least favorite.

Compositional Trick #8 Fill in Flash







The flash on the cameras helped alot with making the shadows over our faces become more clear. It helped alot in the really bright sunlight to use a flash. There are before pictures that are just to dark and you cant see them well, but the after ones with flash helped alot.



Compositional Trick #7 Drawing with Light

This lighting sets my picture apart from others because it looks like theres emotion, and a mood within the picture. When i look at this picture i think the mood is like the model is thinking about something.

Compositional Trick #6 Framing


These shots are showing frames around your emphasis. Framing helps bring out the emphasis, and leads you to it easily. Makes your eyes go straight to the person.

Compositional Trick #5 Extreme Angles


These pictures are extreme angles, one is shot from below, and one up high. They help us notice the world from a different angle. Like it would be like to be a bug looking up at a giant, or a bird looking down at little people.

Compositional Trick #4 Simplicity




Using simplicity helps you define your object, taking out all the backround images and focusing just on your object and a simple back drop. When you make just one thing stand out alot, it looks really artistic and neat.
