Past favorites: portraiture

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 the saturation and adding warmth was a part of it.

And now in here we are. My favorite way to photograph people is by planning a theme and editing around that. I love creative and mystical elements and enjoy making my subject look like there from a different time/ world. The last photo was edited something to the extent of adding magentas and reds, then upping the contrast and adding vintage filters. However, the first photo was done in simple contrast and saturation adding, and I love it just as much!

Assignment 4: Special Edits.

With this first photo, I took a prism and placed it in front of the lens, creating a reflection effect. With this photo, I placed a pink camera lens filter on, then used my hand to create shadows on her face. In this photo, I took my phone and used it as a mirror to reflect her face. This photo is a triple exposure that we learned in class, I do wish I could have made it more clear, however Madison could not stay still enough. Here we took the light and used light writing to create a figure toughing Madison's hand This photo was used as light writing. we kept it vertical to balance the wide angle. With this photo we tried normal light writing, as you can see it did not turn out. This last photo turned out to be my favorite. It started out as normal light writing to give Madison a halo. However we forgot to add a flash of light in the end and I think it turned out better than it would have if I had remembered. In the end, I ended up doing very little...

Assignment 2: 3D

For my Assignment I've decided to upload these photos below as it shows my experience through learning 3D editing. This first photo is probably my least favorite. i love the colors in my suncatchers but because of the background the do not stand out as much as i would like. This next photo is one of my favorites. The clock in the background creates a double image, which does not bode well for the 3D effect. However, i believe it creates and interesting image that really caught my eye. I am undecided on this particular image. while the effect is there, I do not see this as a particularly interesting image to look at. This last photo in my favorite. The image was not very colorful to begin with, but desaturating it makes it stand out so much more.
