Another Week Done!

Hey guys.  Here are some more shots from this week.  I loved getting to play with all the different light setups this week.  Getting to shoot each other in different light settings you really get the hang of using light to sculpt the face.  Another high point of the week was when professional bassist Mark Poniatowski came in and allowed me to photograph him. He was great to work with and is very talented!  If you get a chance check him out!


Hope everybody has a great weekend!

Small Post

Just a quick post to show what we're working on this week.  More portrait work in the studio, but this week we're working with Rick Ashley! (one of my favorite instructors.)  Post more later this week.

Night!

Portraits

This week we worked on learning how to create a classic portrait.  We learned the different ways to light a subject and a few ways to pose, including masculine and feminine.  However, this week was kind of thrown into a loop because of the blizzard we all had to deal with.  We picked up around a foot and a half!  Because of the storm, school was closed for a day, meaning we had our chance to work more cut short.  However, luckily next week we are also studying portraiture.  Here are a few examples of what I did.

Til next week,

Happy New Year!

Hello all :)

Hope everybody is starting their new year off right!  I really enjoyed this week of class because it was heavy in photoshop, and I love all things photoshop!  This week we worked with taking several images and compositing them together.  The first half of the week was spent photographing several objects together in one shot.  However we would focus on one object at a time, make sure it was lit properly, then take the picture.  Then without moving anything we would light the next object and so on... it was super important not to move anything because when you get into photoshop to mask all the images together if anything moved then it wouldn't line up properly.  The final image is has everything lit exactly right, even if they call for different lighting techniques.

The second part of the week was spent photographing each other on a full seamless, then masking each other into a different image.  The tricky part was you had to manipulate the image after to make it look like it actually belonged there.  It had to have weight so that it wasn't floating in mid air, be the correct tone, and have correct shadows, along with many other things.

So here are a couple of images from this week.  Enjoy and see you next week!
