Mood Portraits.

I chose to do happy for my first mood photo. I took my friend to a really haggard barn near my house thinking I wasn't going to get good photos because the weather was horrible. The sun did decided to come out and I got great lighting. I positioned my friend in a tree so the sun would light her face up. In photoshop, I just enhanced her eyes.I chose to do somber/sad for my second mood photo. I took this one indoors using candles as a light source. In photoshop, I enhanced the eyes then added a black & white layer with an enhancement layer on top of all of it. The photo was a little blurry to begin with because i left the time frame run longer but it did help with the mood.

Light Portraits

For this photo, I took a photo of my sister in a tree. I used the 

sun as my light source and made sure to set my camera so it wouldn't wash

her face out. The light pattern on her face is half face.All I did in 

photoshop was enhance her eyes so they popped more. I think 

this photo turned out really well. 

For this photo, I took a picture of my friend Rachelle. I was really 

determined to get a nice photo of her because the past ones haven't been

the greatest. I used the sun set as my light source once again and use the light 

pattern of loop. In photoshop I cropped it on the right side and bottom 

a little because there was a distracting brick wall that I didn't like at all. 

For this photo, I took a photo of my friend Sarah. I used the 

light pattern of rembrandt using the sun. I like how her face turned out

but after I was done editing, I realized that her head looks like it's floating 

from her body. The original photo is like that so I can't do much about it.

I will definitely pay more attention to that next time. 

5 Solid Photos

I took this photo at night in Horicon at an intersection. I took

a lot of in focus photos of this scene but I found this one to be my 

favorite. My goal was to capture the warm, golden lights as the 

green lights turned to yellow then red. 

I took this photo at an intersection in Horicon as I was walking

back to my car. I liked how the green light was reflecting off of the 

window of the shop. In photoshop I darkened the sky which helps drawn 

the viewers eye straight to the green.

For this photo I just took a picture of Evan watching a movie.

He didn't see me taking a photo of him which I think helped add

emotion to the photo because he isn't posing. 

A whole group of people were watching a movie one night and 

I turned around to see Megan and her little brother, Evan, sitting on

the couch together while Brynna was sitting on the floor. I thought it

was a completely adorable so I grabbed my camera and took a 

few shots. The only thing that bothers me about this photo

is Brynna's face. 

I took this photo in a restaurant as we were just about to

start eating our food. In photoshop I duplicated the original layer

and enhanced it. Then I made another layer from the original and

made it black and white. Because I added two layers, it gave the 

black and white a hint of color which I found was really cool

looking and different from the traditional black and white.
