Self Portrait Plan

This is my final photo the outcome of this piece I think really represented the points that show me as me.












Basically my idea is to portray that I have two sides to my personality because one minute I can be happy and the next quite down due to my A.D.H.D. I will take two photographs one happy with natural colours and the other gloomy with black and grey colouring. Using photoshop I will split one phot in half and layer it on top of the other in an equal allighnment to show the twe side of my personality. By taking this photo in a neutral environment it wont inhance the background and cancel the effect of the finnished photo.

Studio Layout

This is the layout we used for our rag week photography sessions.

Rag Week

The week beggining 17th of November the media block participated in a sponsored rag week. I participated on one of the rag day which was the mad hats day. I also spent alot of time and effort taking pictures on all of the days which included the following examples;

studio photography notes

We learnt how to proffesionally use lighting for a photography studio. By not shining the light from a Red Head dirrectly at a subject and letting the light deflect of a surface the light becomes less harsh. Using a daylight filter (a blue gel) also helps to lessen the harshness of the light whilst giving a more natural looking light source. An infill light is used like a minature spotlight and helps cancell out shadowing on the subject, another way to cancel shadowing is to place a light source behind the subject and two in front of the subject to cancel out all shadowing (three point lighting). By using a deflector disk it bounces the light of it and into the subjet less harshly and helps to cancel shadowing. A light defuser is used for the light to pass through it but lessen the intensity of the light source.

the world turned upside down

To prepare and take this photo it took me about two minutes. I took this photo using an upward angle i like this because it kind of shows the world from a different perspective like a child looking at the world. This was taken outside of the county mall.














i really like this photo as it took me agood deal of time and effort to get the picture right. it also helps to capture the dew drops on the grass to give it an added effect. I took this photo in Southgate playing fields. The subject for this photo is once again size related and looking at an object we wouldn't necessarily notice in a different perspective. The title for this picture is natures umberella.












i like this picture as it has alot of feeling behind it.
