lighting notes

• When photographing people indoors by available light, move lamps closer to them or vice versa for more flattering light.
• Crumple a big piece of aluminum foil, spread in out again, and wrap it around a piece of cardboard, shiny side out. It makes a good reflector. 
• If your subject is front lit by window light, keep the person close to the window to make the room’s back wall fall off in darkness.

my portraits

portraits

I like these black and white portraits because it really brings out their unique facial structures and appearances. I also like how focused it makes them. I want to do my little sister because i like the look of they black and white or dark colored settings with a little kids facial features. It makes them look older in a way and just the emotion with the black and white is very emotional and interesting.  

I like this portrait because i like how the fabric kind of molds to the side of the little girl. I like the darker setting and emotion in the little girls face. her features are brought out way more than they would be just with the regular photo. i also like the texture of the fabric her hair and headband.

I like this one because of the way the light is mainly focused on his face and the violin. I like the different leading lines and the texture of his hat and shirt. Everything is just very balanced and it has a lot of emotion in his face with the violin and placement of the picture.

i think my photo represents leading lines because the berries and stems all lead your eyes throughout the picture. Also how the sidewalk curves in it also leads your eyes into the berries and stems.

fall and balance

I think this best represents fall for me because the flowers colors are warm and fall like. My sister reminds me of fall because she has that dark hair but light eyes which reminds me of the changing leaves but the lightness of summer still in season. Its balanced because she's centered and the flowers are all symmetric to each other. Plus the grass and the flowers contrast each other well.

rule of thirds!

I think this picture best represents rule of thirds because the  sprinkler is in the far right third and it's a balanced photo with the tire in-between all the green of the grass and trees. I also like the texture and details of the grass.

Rules of composition

1. rule of thirds- getting a well balanced photo with your grid. place images along the lines.













2. Balance- placing your main subject off centered with the rule of thirds.














3. lines- when we take a photo and our eye is naturally drawn along the lines.













4. symmetry and patters- look for symmetry and patterns, also, balance has a lot to do with it.















5. point of view (bugs or birds eye view)- when finding a photo think about where you will shoot it from. the composition is important in the photo. ( through the window, through the fence)

6. background and foreground- can't be too busy or blend too much.

7. depth- aim for a middle ground, foreground, and background. create layers. don't make the photo totally flat.

8. framing- natural framing, framing a river with trees and mountains. a window like appearance.

9. Cropping- get close when you need to, like with little objects. you'll still have lines, texture, depth.

10. BREAK THE RULES.  experiment with it, try new things, and be creative.

my inspiration photos!

i love the black and white with a slash of color because it really focuses on what your trying to capture. You can do it with anything you photograph and I think its simple but creative and interesting.
