Week 12: Photo Shoot and Strange Leaf
So yesterday I was able to do a senior photo shoot. It was a fantastic opportunity to see how far my skills had come. It was also the first time I had taken my flash off the camera and used what is called off camera flash in a portrait shoot. Because of the wind yesterday, I could not use my flash stands, so I needed someone to physically hold the flash. I have been practicing off camera flash quite a bit, good to use it in a professional sense now.
I am learning, more and more, about molding light. Little did I know that by building my light box, it would take me on a journey to learn more about light and how to mold light. I have quite a lot more to learn, but when I saw the glimpses of changes that the flash created, well, it just excites you to continue the journey! Here is one of my favorites:
Here is another I liked:
I enjoy black and white as well:
This next photo was one where I began learning color selection in Photoshop and just sat in front of my computer and learned by trial and error. But I love the learning process.
I just wanted to show the green shirt, let it pop out of the photograph.
I had a lot of fun with this photo shoot! So on Facebook I am going to be putting the following picture in a post asking people to guess what it is:
There is a story behind it. Ginger loves to eat strawberries and blueberries in her yogurt. Well I opened up the refrigerator one afternoon and saw that mold had gotten on some of the strawberries. I told Ginger to leave it, I wanted to take pictures of it. Ginger just shakes her head. Here is a bigger picture:
Just goes to show that the creative mind of an artist can sometimes see a picture in things that aren't very creative! Hope everyone is having a good week! I feel a more talkative blog coming, still formulating it in my mind, pondering in my heart as Ginger says! It will be coming soon! Until then Happy Photography!
