Alien

This picture was taken on a rainy day with not much opportunity to take pictures. My friend and I were stuck inside and decided to use this temporary hair chalk to color our hair wild colors. I put two buns in Maddie's hair and decided she needed to be infant of the camera. We used the brightest room in the house to capture her two buns, which unfortunately happened to be the bathroom. This picture was taken with a 4.0 aperture, a 1/160 shutter and a 1600 ISO. The lack of light caused me to have a high ISO. A high ISO partnered with a small aperture caused my shutter to be quite fast. In photoshop I brightened the picture using the brightness adjustment, and pushed the contrast. I added an artistic look to this photograph to set it aside from the rest of my photos and to push my knowledge of photoshop. I was able to do this by selecting filter gallery under the filter tab. In filter gallery I layered different techniques and styles to create what I felt complimented the picture. The background of this photograph is a different style from the filter gallery than what is seen over the model. I made multiple layers of filters and revealed different sections of them using a layer mask.

This was a re-edit of one of my older pictures. I originally had this photograph in color but decided I liked it better in black and white. I used a black and white adjustment layer to alter the colors to find the photographs best contrast. I pushed the reds down to give her lips more color, I kept the blues in the middle as her shirt was a pale blue color, and the yellows lighter so her skin didn't look dark or grainy.

OH MY GOSH

This was my first photo shoot this year. I had the privilege of shooting the first football game of the season from the field. I not only was able to capture the players but I was able to capture the crowd. We have a very supportive bleacher creature crowd wearing all red to support our team. I love this picture because I was able to capture the true emotion in Nataliyas face. I used a 5.6 aperture the background remained out of focus, a fast shutter of 1/200 to capture her movement, and an ISO of 800 because of the time of day, and lack of light.
