green screen

here we took a picture of jake's hands infront of the greenscreen and then placed a photo of grass underneath it, and took  photo of myself sitting infront of the greenscreen and selected myself using the highlighter tool. then i shrunk the image and pasted it into jake's hands to create the illusion that he is holding me

high contrast portrait

here we used flourescent lighting to create the highlights on the side of the face. then i used the protocals to make kyle look fab

A assignment, september light

For this photo, i used the rule of thirds placing my subjects slightly off center.  The lines on the street lead to my subject.  I used the quickmask effect and the duotone.

depth of field

to take this photo we used light reflecters to brighten half of the subjects face. the camera was in midzoom when i took this photo, focusing on the subject and leaving the background blurry

first i used the protocals and changed the image to monochrome,  then i used the clone stamp to create an even gray background.  then i duplicated the layers and blurred the surface layer, and then erased the blur around the key areas like the eyes.

I put the sky on a seperate level and adjusted the levels, then I flattened the image and adjusted it using dodge/burn. Then I spharpened the area around the buildings to make them more clear. Seperating the image into two layers allowed me to make colours in the sky brighter and stand out more.

rule of thirds

This photo has one subject chillin in the corner of the picture

This photo has two seperate subjects in seperate corners of the picture, daniel and the tree

This photo has two people connected by a leading line.

This photo tells a story because the two subjects are looking at eachother.

I placed the subjects on the intersections of the grid to draw attention to them, making a more complex composition, and to strengthen the concept of the composition.

portrait using quick mask

bestfriend:)

I used the duotone effect to make my photo look more old school. Then I used the quick mask tool to make micah stand out more so you are not distracted by the field in the background.

leading lines

oh hai.

I used the lines on the wall to lead towards my subject.

The lines strengthen the composition by drawing attention to the main subject.
