LastShot1.

So this was the last shot of the year. This shot was supposed to be the best shot, I think this picture shows how much I improved from the beginning of the year, because if you go back and look at my shots from the start they look horrible. I actually liked this picture even though it was very spare of the moment. It was shot in my bathtub, she is wearing clothes.. even though she looks naked. I used a desk lamp for the lighting and turned out the bathroom light.

Fall.

This is the Mya Angelou project, and we had to create a season type shot with the colors of the season we chose. I chose to do a fall shot, with my model Nicole. I used cloud, tree and bird brushes because they had some type of significance to fall. The colors i used were, warm colors like brown, orange, yellow, pink. Colors that contrasted well together. I am happy with the way my shot turned out. I also have a quote from Mya at the bottom right side of the photo.

BG.

This is the same texture picture i used, with nicole and i just added a background. I decided to use natural kind of colors, Earth tones. I used paint splattered brushes. I learned how to use composition by using balance and texture.

Elements..

What we have here is the simple Elements of Design. Space, Texture, Line, Shape&Form, and Color. I liked this project because not only did i learn the elements of design, it was fun to actually go outside and look around for this stuff. I used the flower in color because it was kind of a bright color surrounded by dull, basic colors so it really stood out. I used clouds for shape and form, because you never know the basic shape of a cloud, their all different sizes and shapes. Line was made from the Pillers outside around the circle of the sun, it was perfect because the way they aligned, and i got it at a really good angle. Grass was used for texture, because it has a really distinct feeling and the grass is different lengths and all. On space I used the lunch harbor, because.. its a lot of space basically.

Glamorous shot.

This is for the project we had to do, where were supossed to make our models skin look nice, and make them look like movie stars, I guess. I think i did a good job, we used digital, and the strobe. The strobe really does a good job on changing the outcome of your pictures. I like how the picture looks warm. I kind of messed around with the contrast and the brightness and it helped a lot with the picture. I also sharpened the picture, because when it first came out it was a little blurry, so I just sharpened up the pixels.

Fashion Shoot.

Here i have my fashion shoot. i shot nicole, for like an old navy ad. basic b/w 3 images. i had to do alot of photoshop because my film was over developed so it was really dark, and hard to see my negs. i used filters, it kind of helped a little. my favorite one was the one where she was on the stool laughing. i had to edit that one the most because it had another picture outline on it, which mad it look really funny. so i had to do a lot of photoshop to that one. it was a fun project.

watercolor painting on photoshop.

Just messing with photoshop. Using watercolor painting.  I used photoshopessentials as a tutorial. The steps where pretty easy, we had to include one letter of our name, i used a W for my last name. the number 7 stands for my "lucky" number. Our faces weren't supposed to be in the middle so I was sort of near the screen and out of center. I used the filters Artistic and Noise, with 4 layers. This project was pretty easy if you're good at following steps the right way.
