Project Eight: Lighting Portrait

This was the last project of the year. This assignment required a portrait using external lighting. I was inspired by a Hollywood glamour shot. Nadia modeled and styled. She was a wonderful model and really helped pull this shot together.

Project Six: Landscape

I wanted to do something non-standard for Project Six: Landscape Assignment. The assignment required us to present photos in a sequence of at least five. My inspiration came from the lights across the river. I took these pictures at three different times throughout the evening, one in focus and one out of focus for the "bokeh" look. The final image turned out exactly as I planned!

Project Four: Places Without People

This image was for Project Four: Places Without People. I wanted to capture an image that had a physical impression of someone that had once been there to emphasize the lack of human subject.

Project 3: Social Statement

For Project Three, we were allowed to choose any social statement and create a photograph to depict it. I choose to style my image to appear like a social campaign. I created the type in Illustrator and selected a fonts from Da Font.

Project 2: Self Portrait

I took this self portrait in the lighting studio. I used two hot lights behind me and a reflector to the right for an additional glow. I found it awkward to take photos of myself, but that was the assignment...

Project 1: Insightful Portrait

This is the photo I submitted for Project One: Insightful Portrait in ART280, Intro to Photography. The class was beneficial, but I would have liked to had learned more technique and had constructive criticism. The next seven posts are my (favorite) project submissions.
