Idenity .

I thought this assignment was the hardest one because Im in still of a process of finding myself. I dont like how this picture came out , I thought I can do better , but i didnt have enough time to take a new picture . The chair symbolizes my mother she not home on the weekday , so it shows her not being there all the time , and one the rights my father , his the one thats always there on the weekdays and weekends , his always there and im in the front showing its about me. And if you can look closely in the back theres a picture of my mother and father in the background . I thought the hardest part of this assignent was trying to figure out what and how to set up my picture . If i could do it again I would , I would try to think more outside of the box . and take longer to think about the picture , and actually use my mother in the picture , cause she is one of the strongest points in my life . But i do like the concept of the picture , but thats the only thing i really like about the picture .

My Landscape .

I took these 3 Land scape pictures , I thought this assignment was the most fun because I could use what was around me , and I think mother natures the most exciting thing about life . I pick these picture because there was alot of color , I dont like my pictures being so plain . And I had a foreground and a main focus . I thought the most hardiest was actually thinking out side of the box , there was thing surrounding me that I dint even notice , I think this assignment really made me open my eyes . My favorite picture is the weird flower , when I was walking to take the picture I didnt even see the flower , intill I could very closely . I think landscape is the most coolest , If I had to do it again I would but i think i would take more different picture of the landscape at school not only flowers , I really had fun doing this assignment , i like taking pictures of mother nature , but i also think this is the hardest one because you got to make the picture exciting and not just have a snap shoot picture .

Landscape write about .

I like this landscape picture the colors are very detailed how the blue and the red and kinda orange blend in together and they make the picture stand out , it gives the picture that pop and I like sunsets , but the sunset isnt the main focus . I like how the foreground in blurry and the flower is the main focus . I would like to take pictures this , there so detailed and it looks like this isnt just an average picture , like you really have to think about the setting , its look like it could be at the beach or the desert or anywhere , it makes you wonder . Its not only a beautiful picture , its like a classic . I also like the little mountain in the background . I want to take a picture like this on my own landscaping pictures or one day .

Lines , Shapes .

I choose this picture because there are a lot of lines on the shoes and I liked how I spaced out the picture . Also there are a lot of shadows and there's a pole in the background that goes with the picture. The background really goes with it , I thought the hardest part was centering and make sure every things in the right place and nothings sticking out on the picture and making it look weird . I also though the hardest part was picking where I should take the picture , but I notice there are a lot of places to take a picture , and I have to use what nature has to offer . If I could I would do it again because it was a fun experience , It let me be creative . And I could use anything I wanted and I liked being able to explore everything around me , it let me open my eyes a lot more about my school . 

Photographic History Project .

When we did the photographic History project I thought finding an idea what to do was the hardest part , and how we wanted to do to the timeline , and figure out how we wanted to lay it out , there was so many different ways to do the time line . I thought finding out the time line information was kinda hard at the same time because there was so much different information to write about . But I learned a lot , like when was the first bird eye view & the first colored picture . I didn't know there was so many different things to write about . I always thought the coolest thing was when we printed , we used photo shop and wrote out the information and we used this magical pen and when you highlighted it it showed up on the book , i thought that was pretty cool . 

Window Lighting

For window lighting , I used a door for natural lighting . In the picture her eyes are very live , they have that white glint in her eyes . It looks like we have a connection , we were talking before the photo shoot . I like this picture the lighting in hitting her and make her face glow . I thought it was hard at first because I couldn't find the right lighting that made her glow . I always thought it was hard to make a connection with the model because Im every shy person . I like this kind of lighting because its so real , and its natural , you don't need anything extra but the sunlight and the model . The model is kinda slanted , leaning on the chair , looking straight forward to the camera . If I could do it again I would , I was really inspired by Marnjari Sharma's , she had me open my eyes , and I really like how we used models she didnt even know , but had a real connection with the model , and there eyes were so real . 

Portrait .

Not done yet **

I think the portrait photo shoot was hard because you actually had to make a connection with the person , and you had to make sure your light is in the right place . I like the nature lighting better , I like it most when it in the evening and the sun is hitting the window . I tried taking pictures in the morning , evening , I thought the morning was bring to much lighting into the window or door , so I just stuck with the evening . I like this photo shoot because I could do it with someone that I really knew , and I had an connection , but when talk to the person I learned things I never knew about the person , It's like a different environment , it was kinda profession . I was also hard make them not have a dead eyes you had to make them look alive .

Diversity photo

I thought this was the hardiest photo shoot because everybody wanted to do different things , and we didn't have are people on point , like it took us the longest to get the people switched , and it was getting kinda irritating , but i like it other than that , I always thought figuring out the lighting was and we really didn't know how the picture was gonna come out . It was hard put them in there places , because it was a small place . But if i could did it again , I would , but have it more planned out .Its was also hard to tell my models what to do , and what position to do , and to take the picture at the right moment . I think it was hard because i didn't know what to tell them pacifically .

Marnjari Sharma's Portraits

Marnjari Sharma's portraits are awesome , all the pictures she take looks like she has a connection with her model . They all have that glint in there eyes , they don't have any dead eyes , you can see the white light in her pictures . I like how she uses natural lighting , she use the window light in her bathroom , I would think its awkward taking a picture in her bathroom , and there naked , but not all her models are naked , and she has to make a connection with them , she had to be very social . When she was a little kid she liked taking portraits of the relatives , she was more into portraits than anything else . She went to school for a few years , she soon realized thats she wanted to focus in some form-on people and portraits . When she moved to Brooklyn she had an amazing marble shower in her bathroom and thought it was an "eye-catcher" she loved how the light hit her window . She soon started asking people to take shower in her bathroom , so she could take picture , but that was a big step for her because she was brought up in a well round family , the nudity wasnt to big with her family , she usually took picture of women or gay men . She had a shower project the project was to show the public her shower special experience . I like her shooting because it was her form , and she did it right in her house . I also love how the light hit the person , it looks so beautiful , I like how she dosent show there entire face , theres only light hitting one part of there face .

Smooth

We went outside with this big white bored that opens up , we also had this white board that was in front of us that made are eyes not look dead . After the photo shoot we load is on the computer , we put the picture in photo shop , first I had I had to make a new layer , change that layer to overlay , change the picture to high pass 6.0 pixels , after went to images on the top of the screen and click Invert .  Then go to Opacity where the layer box is and change it to 60% .  Than I add a mask layer to layer 1 . Its a a folder that looks green . After that you go to the brush tool make sure on the side its black first than white at the bottom , then you Hold down the Shift key and press the left bracket key to make the brush edges softer and then hold down shift and press the right bracket key . I thought the softing is the hardest because there's so any steps to the making the picture soft . But I do like the affects , it makes the picture stand out cause its not as sharpen . But I think all pictures shouldnt be softing . I think bushes are cool , cause you can use them as ads and for intense you can put words in the background and it makes the picture stand other than it being regular . I think the hardest thing about brushes is that you have to find the bush you like the most , and you can like alot of bushes , but one pick one , and picking what color goes best with the picture . 

Photoshop Brush/Softening Assignment

PS

First you have to put all your pictures on the desktop . And you make a new blank page on PS . Then hit command C and click all 4 picture then drag them to PS . Then you have to crop the picture and put 4 / 3 on the top right stop to length and height . Click the magna-fine   glass 4 times on the picture . Do that to all the pictures , then get the scatting icon and click command c and go to the blank picture and hit command v 4 times ,Drag it to where you want it , I think it is pretty hard if you don't know the step of the process , I liked the photo booth assignment because it was pretty fun . Taking picture and getting to be a different person . 

Studio Lighting .

I see a young boy sitting in a chair , with his shadow in the back  its like perfect outline of him . His hands in his lap , he sorta slouching in the chair . It's a portrait picture , from head to toe . His kinda up close , but there's white in some areas of the picture . Its pretty much a figurative , you can tell what the picture is . I think the tones are pretty good , but I think the picture is a little to soft , I think I should of sharped the picture more that I did . But I like of the light was hitting him because it was bring out his facial features. It kinda looks like an oldie picture . I accidentally did the softness I thought it was going to come out much sharper. This image was taken inside , I think the image is a light picture , but i printed it into a dark image because it was so light . I was trying to make it to an oldie type of picture , but I also made it to soft .  I think this picture worked in some areas of the picture , for example the lighting , I liked how it was hitting the model , and in the background you can see the shadow and I liked how that came out . But I don't like how it's so soft , I wish I sharped it a little more , so it's not as soft . But there that I liked the picture . 

PHotoSHOP Assignment .

I picked a picture that I wanted as a background , then picked another picture that I wanted to combine it with . Then the picture I find for the background I put in PS , and if it was the size I wanted I left it alone , And if is wasn't I resized . Then the other picture I put it in PS also . I cropped out the image , I did it with the icon that looks like an outline. I then copied it and pasted it on the background , and moved it to where I wanted it at .  Then all the extra parts i clicked the eraser icon and erased all the other stuff i didn't want in the image and then flatten the image , and saved it as a JPEG .
