bringing the arts together


I thought that this assignment, was very intimidating to accomplish yet fun to do. because we had to use the strobes to capture better lighting, it became harder because, you had to know what to set the camera at, and where to plug the things in. there was also became a challenge when we had to decide where to place our models. this part became very time consuming because you needed to capture your models in a certain way that would represent what SCPA is all about. But, I think that once we got past all of the kinks, we were able to get a couple of nice shoots on the digital camera. But our good luck streak came to an end when the digital camera died, and we had to use the rest for film. but even though this project was meant for film, we didn't use the strobe for the film which we should have. unfortunately, one of our group members accidently lost our film, so all we had were the couple of digital photos that we took, which were mainly just test photos. though i really like tthis image and because everyone is like doing an acton, i think that it just really expresses how powerful the arts are.

portrait photo


for this assignment we had to capture natural lighting on a models face. but unfortunately, where i went wrong with my photo is that there is an excess amount of light over one of my models eyes, which makes her look like she has bags under them. I think that if i had my model a little further away from the door way, then this photo would have come out better. I really like portraits, because i think that they really capture who the person is. The angling of this photo brings you close enough to the person to show you who they are inside. If I got to do this assignment over, then I would have had my model face the camera more and maybe not show any expression on her face. Though, I do like how the wind gets entangled in my models hair because I think that it adds a nice element.
