Ok so I have ventured into photography land. With the help of my friend ashley and her handy dandy camera we embarked on a rather new adventure with my other friend leslie as our model. We kept it simple and safe for our first shoot, and I focused on portraits for possible mock ads and to try out Rembrandt lighting (attempt.) I threw in my fashion-y stuff and set her in different clothes and such.
I took about 250 photos over the entire shoot.
I was able to learn a lot about lighting after looking at the photos on my computer vs just the camera. It was a real challenge to move my sucky lamps around to try and really achieve what I wanted.
So here I have linked two different albums of pictures...one is photos that I went a picked out from all my albums from basically the last year that I felt were alright...and then from my shoot today with Leslie.
Things I need to work on is editing these correctly, some that are too red, dark etc. And also in general would be subject matter. I know I played it safe like I said with these portraits but I really want to get outside the box and come up with some settings to throw some people in!

let me know what you think!
Very impressed with your process. You are incorporating some very formal skills into your work. Nice work with the lighting and locating a willing model. Though these are great, using a black background would probably make it easier to get that desired triangle under the eye.
ReplyDeleteOH. I missed that thought completely. Thank you though! I will see if I can try that out!
