Project 9 Commercial Portraits and Fine Art - PreWork

I chose the two fine art portraits because I really liked how the photographers used lighting in both of the photos. They have a similar mood, and both images are able to display a lot of emotion. The two magazine covers have great composition and color, making the images stand out. The first magazine has the two contrasting colors of blue and orange, causing the subject to stand out more. Many magazine covers have the main focus be a portrait, and some even use certain aspects fine art in their covers. However, most of the time magazine covers have more realistic looking photos with a lot of editing, with the models usually hired. Fine art is generally more of a natural, black and white monochrome look.

Project 8 - Multiple Image Techniques

In this project, we learned how to take photos using different perspectives, and editing it them for HDR,  panoramas and multiple exposures, in Lightroom and Photoshop. For the HDR, I took a photo of a waterfall, which had strong composition but lacked contrast in color, making it a good choice for the HDR, which I created by following the procedure in Lightroom. For the panorama, I used the app on my Iphone, and then added a few edits in Lightroom to enhance the photo. Lastly, for the multiple exposures, I took several photos of a skyscraper downtown from different angles, and in Photoshop rotated them at different angles, and adjusted the exposures and opacity.
