Tungsten Lighting Portrait

For this assingment I chose Abby to be my model because I liked what she was wearing and I also liked that her hair was blonde because it would create a better contrast with the black background. Throughout the shoot, I had a lot of difficulties mainly due to the lighting. Everytime I moved the hot light I would have weird shadows on my models face and had to make sure my model was completely still when I got the lighting in the right spot. Another diffuculty I faced was focusing the camera for some reason. Our group had to do the photo shoot 2 times because all of our pictures came out blurry and even this photograph is a bit blurry unfortunately.

Northern Light Portrait

For this assignment we had to incorporate northern lighting into our photographs inspired by photographer, Irving Penn. One of the many perks about northern lighting is that it really showcases clothing and material and because of this, I chose Shannel to be my model. Before shooting, I noticed that Shannel was wearing a jean jacket and I loved the many rips and tears it had as well as how gritty the jean looked. I knew right away that I wanted to have the jacket as my main focus. As for my result I feel like I was successful because I was able to capture the texture on her jacket really well and that was my goal when going into the project.

Scrim Portrait

For this assignment we had to take a portrait using a scrim. A scrim is a tool in photography that is used to soften the light on a model or object. For the photograph I used Shannel as my model and placed the scrim to the right of her where the light from the sun was coming from. One difficulty I faced when doing the project was that i had to make sure that the people holding up the scrim didn't show up in the photograph and I had to move them accordingly. As for my results, I feel that I was successful with using the scrim because the lighting does appear to be a lot softer and the shadows on her face don't appear to be as harsh as it would be without a scrim.
