Nikon Dark Room

 Hello everyone!  So as I have said before, I have been photographing for years. I thought it high time I showed you some of what I do. These are some of the portraits I have taken over the years.. in order from past to present!  This is one of my first portraits ever taken. (Back in 2017). I took this of a good friend of mine and, from what I remember, I increased the contrast and turned the photo into black and white.  This photo was taken in 2018, around the time my love of photographing people really took off! I bet you couldn’t guess who I mainly photographed.. Madison of course. I believe I edited this picture by reducing contrast and adding saturation while reducing vibrance.  My photos really took off after that, as this is only a few months later. I added warmth and saturation to turn this from overcast to a bright and sunny day! However, not every photo has to be pretty and posed. I edited this to the extent of vintage themed, however I do not remember how, I know lowering th

  For this assignment, since we were locked in due to the snow, me and my roommate Madison decided to use her as my model in a series of photographs. Here is the result. Depth of Field: With these photos, I experimented with depth of field. In the first Photo my goal was to show a shallow depth of field in showing the detail of the trees and Madison blurry in the background. I edited this photo by adding yellow to the highlights, green to the shadows, and upping the saturation of the red in her jacket. The second photo I tried keeping the depth more mid ranged to deep. Keeping the edge of the building in focus and the sky and trees in blur. I edited this photo by adding brown to the shadows and blue in the highlights. Then I added saturation in red and yellow to bring out the orange in the building.  In this photo however, I wanted the blur to be gradual. starting with a shallow field, my goal was to slowly see the blur increase as it went further into the distance. You can see this wh

 So with this string of shoots, I took advantage of the weather and dragged my roommate out for some photo shoots. (The first shoot of which was her idea). As I already have my four chosen pictures, I thought to share with you all some honorable mentions.  This first photo was her bright idea of doing an ironic 'snow- swimsuit photo shoot.' at this point in time i had not preset my cameras settings and ended up with a few of these blurry bloopers. this one was my favorite. I edited the photo by heavily increasing the contrast and then adding saturation in hue saturation to the red and blue in her outfit, or lack there of, to make her blurry figure stand out more. This second photo was created by a specific back-lit set up that was inspired by an article on line, of which I will be linking in the final post for this assignment. I edited this photo by first increasing the lightness of the overall photo. I then went into the photo and burned the bright areas of her chest to keep a

This happens to be the first photo I took in our assignment. As everyone left to go else where I started outside of the classroom door. I originally thought it was plain, then I realized once I turned it into black and white, it did have potential.  TV1: In this image I decided to play around with the curve feature, ending in a negative exposure. This edit gives me SYFY vibes that I enjoy. However, I do not like that the back wall is almost all one color. TV2: With the older TVs, I thought sepia was appropriate, unfortunately I believe this photo is lacking the vignette and camera grain to make this photo truly look vintage.   TV3: Because I did sepia, I felt I had to do cool toned. Unfortunately, this is my least favorite photo. The only thing I like about it is the tint of color it gives the TVs. If I where to change it I would just tint the mid-tones and shadows. TV4: For this image, I wanted to make it look like it was on an old TV itself. I lowered the contrast and gave the overal
