Window lighting

This assignment was to be done in doors with window light being the major source. The window i selected was from my bedroom that was in the northern part of my house. I picked this window because it was my favorite window lighting, not to bright and not to dim. The shapes you see within this photo are the back wal that i covered with a sheet due to my posters, the basket that Butters (dog) is in, and the bench that the basket is placed on top of. The shapes within this image are not much, the image does not look clustered. The lighting is bright in the area of her face. Although has very
light fur, you can see the the difference of light in her face and from the backside of her head. The background is the middle shade, that is just that bone white sheet. The right and bottom right of the image is the darkest shade in the picture. This image was good. I had a bit of a struggle because of her not wanting to be in the basket and stay still but other then that the shoot was successful.

Outdoor lighting

My outdoor lighting shoot was not how i wanted it to be. My model was Carlos Aguayo, while taking pictures of him the camara broke down on me and my classmates and we could not continue with the shoot. The shoot was in the back area of our school. We had the white courtain and the golden cardboard to give are focused object a brighter and bronze tone. Since my shoot was not a success i decided to search images of that type.

This image seems to have usage of a white rim and the golden sheet to give it a bronze tone. The person holding the reflector seems to be on the right side, having its focus of bronze lighting on the top flowers and glass cups. The white rim helps the image to be more soft and sharp. It gives the object's a nicer focus. The shapes in this image are straight edge ad clear. They have the table that looks squared when given a glance, but when you pay attention you can see that the table top is circular but looks different due to the table cloth. The shades are brighter on the bottom right where the light is hitting against the white cloth. The middle tones are on the top right and middle area. The darkest tone is the left side where the trees and shadows are. This photographer's image is successful.

Five x Six

Our instructor Ms.Miles taught us how to use a 5x 6 camera in class. The point was to try out something different that was not used so ofen in these modern times. Each student had to come with their own idea of how and what techniques they wanted to use on the objects selected and the theme of the image. I really like frruit, so i selected fruit to be my model's in this shoot. My shoot went very well the posture and placement of the fruit was very nice. I had green and red apples, peaches, bananas. Unfortunately, my image was ruined when being developed and was developed with another image. The print was messed up and i didnt have my result. Eventhough the film was ruined what i saw was very pretty. The image at the top was an idea of what i wanted. It would have been a success.

Using a 5 x 6 camera was very different. Everything was more complicated. You had to be careful in every touch you gave the camera. The film was located in the area where you looked at the shot. Once you had what you wanted to shoot on point, you would place the film in from either the top or side depeding on placement on the film entrance. Then you would wait a few seconds for the camera to stop its movement. You then would press the front little button and your image was taken. It was a great experience.

Portrait

In this shot the main object is Carlos Aguayo my model. The rest of the texture is added by lighting shades, that vary.He is wearing a jacket with no shirt. I wanted him shirtless because i felt that it would be more intense.This picture to me is figurative. The shapes are very basic, there isn't many just the texture and outline of the jackets. The tones and shades are gradual. In his face he has one side with a shadow of his nose and on the other he is lighted up. The background is decreasing of light from right to left and his clothing is a darker shade.The image is in focus and clear...the print is a bit fuzzy.The focus was done on purpose, but the result of the print was accidentally. The image has a change in lighting due to how we changed the position of the lights and the strenght of the lighting. This picture was take indoors. The result was succesful although the shot of him sitting down the background lighting wasn't so correct. Other then that it was a success.

Personal Book

This assignment to me was to make to books that where you. One of them was to be big and the other was small. The large one was a page and in that book i decorated the cover with an aquatic pair of colors and a design that looked like waves. The inside had mt birth date and on the other side had a blue-green tissue paper. The back cover had an image black and white that was of me back facing to it. The smaller book i believed was my best it had more of "me" incorporated to it. The cover started out with a white background with a ellow strip of paper, then continued on with a tissue paper flower the color pink. The next fold had a pink diamond-shaped tissue paper with a consecutive pattern of my birth date. The inside opening fold has lyrics of a ong that is "si el amor se cae todo el alrededor se cae" and that filled one full square. Another square inn that page had film of when we had our self portraits but unfortunately mine were not printing they to dark, The other part had my full name the other part had flowers that would be like that ones that you would put in your hair if you wre to be in an island. The rest contained black and white pictures of me sitting and another of a tree that had a lighting pattern. The process of making these books was really fun i enjoyed although we were a bit rushed it took me a while to think of what i wanted.
