clothing advertisement: film

i took this picture planning on advertising the dress, but i feel that it better showcases the scarf. i think the pose is somewhat high-fashion, but i wish that the print turned out better, as the film turned out really good. plus, it doesn't look as good scanned.

the second picture is posted more for fun, it was an alternate shot that advertises the dress better (it looks like she's having fun too), but the print itself was a bit blurry and darker than i would like.

tv show, color/digital

this is my least favorite of the assignment. i had a really cool idea for a teenage drama about a guy who couldn't decide between two girls and one got hurt and so on....but i could not find enough models.

my 'new' drama is about a single father who finds out that his teenage daughter ran away. he appears frustrated, but is also worried, he remembers times when he had a better relationship with her.

i saturated this picture a little and took some of the shine out of his face. i wanted the picture kind of dark so it resembled a teenage drama.

black and white digital: political

i think that there are a lot of issues and controversy that drug and alcohol-related problems create in our society. i took this picture to represent the way a drug user or alcoholic must feel after rough times during their life. even though lots may be going on around them, they feel stuck in their own time, so i decided to put my model in a whirlpool with newspapers to show this. they also feel alone and empty, so basically i went for a lot of symbolism, which may not convey my message as strongly, but i think it is pretty decent in my mind.

i could made this image stronger with more contrast, but i do think that there are enough tones from black to white.

b&w

The photo i took of the crystal glass is interesting because of the detail it has and contrast in the textured areas. i like the composition of the photo, but i think it could be better.

My tree photo has lots of intricacy and i like the contrast and movement of it. i wish it showed more depth though.

these are my three winter, color images. in the first one i lightened everything and chose to take the picture while the sun was about to go down because i liked the way the light was reflected from the snow and makes it look a bit yellow.

my second and third photos look a bit like there is a candle light and i like that. their focal points are exaggerated by the source of light, but they are still able to convey cool tones overall. i like the composition and colors i used, but i would like them to have better contrast. that's all right now.

In this image I used backlighting to strengthen

the tree's branches as focal points. i took it close up to capture the detail. On Photoshop I color balanced it.

For all of my images I used advice/tips from a website and magazines.

i took this picture to showcase my step-dad's

personality as well as the texture of his had. i edited the whites of his eyes and color balanced to image to improve it. i wanted it to be more of a macro portrait too.

snow white

The technique i used for this photo was all about people in their natural environment. I took this picture of someone who enjoys dressing up, but can also be shy at times. i color balanced it and edited some of the background as well. I also like that the snow and 'snow white' correlate.
